Whilst you may be completely focused on decorating your entrance hall, living room, and even your dining space for your big celebration, there’s one area you might overlook: the kitchen. This year, reconsider by giving the heart of the home the attention it deserves for the holiday season. From preparing dinner with your family to chatting over mince pies and a cup of tea, there is no denying that the kitchen is a high-traffic space during the season.

4. Candles
Deck out your kitchen island with a pretty combination of white candlesticks and winter foliage. It’s sure to make preparing and serving your holiday food more enjoyable.

10. No fuss Tree
For most, the Christmas tree sits in the living room. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have one in the kitchen as well! Opt for a faux tree for easier assembly and clean up.
