Christmas Kitchen Decor Ideas
This Post May Contain Affiliate Links. Please Read Our Disclosure PolicyWell, friends, it’s officially the most wonderful time of the year. This past weekend, I got the Christmas totes down from the attic and did a little decorating, so today I’m ready to share Christmas kitchen decor ideas with you!
When I post about Christmas this early in the season, I always like to offer the following disclaimer: Bloggers post early so you’re able to take it all in and implement what you like whenever YOU are ready. Get to decorating, crafting, and creating now, or wait until later. It’s up to you, if, when, and how you do things for the holidays!
I am thrilled to be back today with my Seasons of Home Blogger friends. Each of us is giving you a peek at our kitchen Christmas decor. Once you’re done checking out my kitchen, be sure to click through the additional 11 bloggers below. Everyone is incredibly talented, and there are so many styles. I know you’ll find lots of reasons to ooh and ah!
Since it’s early in the season and I’m happily decorating a new space (In case you’re new to Inspired by Charm, I remodeled my kitchen earlier this year. The full tour and complete source list is here.), I’m still getting a feel for how I want my kitchen to look for Christmas. So please consider this a work-in-progress and sneak peek into my full Holiday Home Tour which will go live in early December. (I have A LOT of decorating to do before then, but at least I’ll have started on my kitchen!)
With that introduction behind us, let me show you around!
Christmas Kitchen Decor Ideas:
In styling my Christmas kitchen decor, my goal was to bring in festive moments but keep things simple.
My process for this space started with hanging small wreaths on the windows above the sink. The wreaths are faux but quite real looking. I found them at a local Christmas store (Sewickley Creek Greenhouse if you’re in the Pittsburgh area). Inspired by the knobs on my range, I wanted pops of red in this space, so I added red ribbon to the wreaths. It’s purely decorative since I used these Command Hooks to hang the wreaths.
Because my kitchen gets a lot of use, especially this time of year, there is minimal decor on my countertops – a few bottle brush trees with gold, green, and red ornaments, a couple brass tea light holders, and small wire lights. Isn’t it amazing how a string of lights instantly makes a space feel like Christmas.
On a recent visit to a local antique store, I found these pine tree salt & pepper shakers. What a great shade of green! I paired them with a new candle my sweet friend Laura of Finding Home Farms sent me. This one is Cinnamon Bark & Anise. I never thought I was a fan of anise, but this candle smells divine!
I also swapped out the artwork to the left of my range. I found this original colored pencil drawing at an antique shop last year and instantly fell in love with it. It works beautifully here. I used Command Picture Hanging strips to attach it to the tile. I ended up using four of the large strips to be on the safe side.
As I do on most of my tours, I also baked a delicious treat for you. This is a Cranberry Apple Tart. It’s just the thing for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any dinner or party in-between. On my tour, it doubles as a lovely prop. I can’t wait to share the recipe with you. Stay tuned! In the meantime, you can find more of my holiday recipes here.
One other thing I wanted to point out is my new crock. It’s another of my antique finds. I filled it with (mostly) vintage rolling pins. The red and green handled rolling pins bring in the colors of the season but will look great all year long. The two glass rolling pins are a nod to my maternal grandma. She always used a glass rolling pin. After she passed. my mom inherited that rolling pin. I mentioned to my mom how much I love it and that I was looking for a similar one. Mom was able to find one on eBay and gave it to me for my birthday. A couple of weeks later I happened upon one at an antique store. Now I have two. I do love how this little display looks.
Christmas Kitchen Decor Ideas: Butler’s Pantry
I added a couple of festive touches to my butler’s pantry as well. I chuckled as I wrote that last sentence. A year ago the space housed a single-stall shower with only cold water. Now, my pantry is there, and it’s one of my favorite places in my home. What a difference!
I continued the red theme in the pantry. When deciding on the paint color for this cabinetry, I purposely chose something that would work well with “Christmas” red. (That’s how much I love Christmas!) I couldn’t be more pleased with the combination of sage green, cherry red, and walnut. It’s warm and inviting!
Several years back I picked up this set of Santa mugs. Since then I try to purchase one or two vintage Santa mugs every year. I now have a nice-size collection. I love how they look on the shelves.
The ceramic tree is another recent vintage find. I’m hoping to find a place this year where I can paint/make one!
And with a few other holiday touches here and there, my Christmas kitchen decor is complete. What do you think?
I’m still going to futz around a bit (as I tend to do) so I’ll have more to share soon. Just recently I hung shelves in my dining room AND got a new dining room table. It’s been loads of fun to add personality to that new space.
I hope you enjoyed looking around my kitchen. Again, If you’re looking for any sources, please visit this post here for more details.

I feel very happy to use this website. This website is very useful for all. You can visit this website. Thanks!
Yes, I so agree with you. Sorry, I’m a little behind reading my blog posts. Lol. But I love your approach to this year, it is exactly what I did! I only decorated the living room and enjoyed the simple sparkle and lights. I mostly stayed home throughout the whole holiday season and my only gifts for family and friends was my own baked goods. So, I almost wonder if this will create new holiday traditions in the future. Maybe more people will want to simplify the holiday as it was so much more enjoyable that way.
I am a fan of reading to add insight to information. Thank you for this great blog. this is here, the few months I am visiting and following you. What I really like about you is that your writing style.
I think I need to hire someone like you to come deck out my house. I’m hopeless at this sort of thing. I know what I like, it just doesn’t get done! Tragic, I know. At least I can dream about someday become more adept at these things…mini storage

Hello,
I have been watching the mini wreaths on a lot of people’s cabinets and do really love how they look but have yet to actually give it a try myself.

Love the kitchen and pantry decor. It has inspired me to start early on my Christmas decorating! I was wondering how you attached the wreathes hanging from the top of the windows of your kitchen? I want to try something like that in my dining area.
Everything looks so beautiful in your kitchen. Love the colors and all the Christmas decor!! I live all the recipes you share, thank you 😊 ❤️🎄💚❤️🎄💚❤️🎄💚❤️🎄💚
Where to start?! You know how IN LOVE I am with your whole kitchen and now with Christmas decor?! Well, it couldn’t get any better!! I love the wreath on your hood, and all your sweet touches of red and green are so perfect! You do an amazing job of adding charm and yet never going too over the top. Beautiful!! (and you’re making me want to use red next year!)
So nice “hopping” with you, as always Michael!
