The festive season is almost upon us. So while you’re putting the finishing touches to your tree, wrapping up the last gifts and planning your festive parties, you should also start to think about decorating your kitchen for Christmas. Whether you are looking to indulge in the trendiest Christmas aesthetics, or make more impactful, long-term design choices, our designers are here to help with inspirations that are sure to evoke a welcoming and cosy atmosphere.
If you favour the look of a rustic farmhouse kitchen, why not allow the same aesthetic to flow throughout your entire home this holiday season? Cosy country estates and majestic townhouses alike will benefit from a touch of rustic essentials like cheerful tartan ribbons, lovely pewter ornaments and vintage bells. For a D.I.Y. approach, consider collecting natural elements like evergreen boughs to place around your hearth for a classically rustic look.
Design elements that exude rustic charm during the holidays:
Christmas designs typically comprise a colour scheme of green, gold and red, but you can also elevate traditional decor for a more modern take on the classics. Sumptuous raspberry tones, rich plums and soothing mauve colours are topping many lists for festive interior design. This Christmas, opt for a fresh take on the familiar Christmas colours with table dressings, baubles and ribbons in a refreshing mix of deeper tones, with hints of gold detailing for added sparkle and wonder.
Curate a grounding and peaceful atmosphere this Christmas by incorporating fresh, green foliage in centrepieces and decorations. Bringing nature inside creates such a magical feeling during the festive season. Sprigs of holly and ivy, beautiful red berries and pine cones will fill your home with those gorgeous scents that evoke the Christmas spirit.
Natural decorations not only smell lovely, but they are more environmentally conscious than plastic alternatives. If you’re keen on D.I.Y., consider organising pre-holiday wreath making sessions with friends and family, before retiring back to your warm and cosy home for a soothing mug of tea or a mulled wine.
Subtle, L.E.D. lights are a decor choice that will carry you well into the new year. Twinkly white lights or soft yellow lights clustered in amongst freshly cut greenery will transform your kitchen into a Christmas haven.
Ways to incorporate small L.E.D. lights into your holiday home design:
In the past many of us missed out on our favourite family traditions due to lockdown. Now we see more people embracing the sentimental comfort of nostalgia to make up for the lost time.
Nostalgic Christmas ideas for your kitchen:
Consider building a whimsical gingerbread house for a playful decoration the kids can get involved in, which also doubles as a delicious treat for Father Christmas.
If you have dreams of a white Christmas, this trend is sure to capture your heart. Transform your space into a winter wonderland with the help of layered white chiffon, velvet, faux fur throws and satin dotted with wooden sleigh and reindeer ornaments.
