The holiday season is now in full swing, and it is time to begin decorating. Your countertop space is an open canvas that can be transformed into a charming holiday display that family, guests, or customers will adore. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Flowers
Bringing a bit of nature inside as holiday décor is an excellent way to add color to the room. Bright red poinsettias or a multi-colored flower arrangement makes the perfect center point for a display. Add in some glittery pinecones, deep green holly, or silver painted leaves around the base for an extra special touch.
Wreaths
While many people hang their wreaths, they can also be placed flat on your countertop surface as the trimming around a display. All you need is a small wreath and something to put in the center. We recommend a trio of candles with varying heights featuring holiday colors that complement the wreath.
Candles
Speaking of candles, they are an excellent choice for a holiday display of any kind. You can do everything from floating tea lights to pillar candles to a hurricane candle. Candles come in all sizes, shapes, and colors for you to create a fabulous holiday display perfect for your countertop. Add in twinkling lights, greenery, or holiday baubles for some extra cheer. Just be careful that the candles don’t become a fire hazard.
Lights
Twinkling lights are simple and stylish no matter what the occasion. Whether you want to get ones that feature traditional holiday colors or plain white, they add a bit of extra fun to the experience. You can wrap the lights around other holiday displays, candy jars, holiday plates, or wine bottles. Just make sure that the lights don’t get too hot and keep the cords away from children.
Ornaments
You can even use Christmas ornaments on your countertop for display. All it takes is two or three brightly colored balls to add a little flair to the kitchen. We suggest putting all three balls together and wrapping tinsel or garland around the base so that they can’t get away. In addition, we recommend not using delicate ornaments that you don’t mind getting broken. Countertops are a busy space, and you never know what will happen.
Paper Crafts
Do you have kids in the house? Put them on a snowflake mission. Have them cut out a variety of snowflakes in different sizes. Place them on the countertops or hang them from the ceiling with a bit of twine and tape. The kids will love getting to put their artistic talents to use and help you decorate. Plus, they will love the attention garnered from their little masterpieces.
