How to Create a Cozy Kitchen This Holiday Season
The fire’s burning, the treats are baking, and families are gathering.
If you host family or friends around the holidays, you’ll want your home to feel as festive as possible! With Thanksgiving right around the corner, your current focus should be your kitchen.
After all, that is where everyone will be mingling and snacking as you prepare the meal!
So, how can you create a cozy kitchen for Thanksgiving Day? Keep reading to learn more!
Use What You Have
While it’s fun to shop for fall decor for the kitchen, that’s not always necessary.
You can easily decorate for November without breaking your bank since the theme for fall is nature. For example, if your family loves to eat apples at this time of year, use them as a decoration!
Grab an inexpensive wicker basket and place your apples in it on display. When someone wants to eat them, they can simply grab one out of the basket, wash it, and enjoy it!
Not only do apples look adorable as a decoration, but leaving them on the counter will remind the members of your household to eat them. It’s a win-win!
DIY Your Way to a Cozy Kitchen
Another option for making your cozy kitchen is to make your own decor.
Some simple things to make are wreaths, centerpieces, pictures, or faux plants. If you have children, you could even get them involved as a way to bond! There are plenty of simple DIY projects for the fall that would make a great addition to your kitchen.
Dress Up Your Linens
Pretty much all of us keep some type of towel in the kitchen.
So, make yours festive! There are tons of options for inexpensive festive linens at any department store. If you add festive linen, make sure you have a second one hung up next to it for drying hands and cleaning messes.
Don’t Forget the Dining Area
While guests may gather in the kitchen for appetizers, everyone’s going to want to sit down for the big meal.
Once the kitchen is decorated to your heart’s content, don’t skimp on creating a cozy dining room for guests to enjoy the meal in!
To make the dining room ready for guests, make sure you add a centerpiece to the table. This can be a bouquet of flowers, decorative candles, or even a pumpkin!
Anything that fits your style and the rest of the design theme in your home would be perfect as a centerpiece. In addition to a centerpiece, consider setting the table with a festive table cloth, placemats, and fall or Thanksgiving-themed napkins.
To step it up a notch, add some seat cushions that complement the other decor.
