Christmas is so close now that we can almost taste the cranberry sauce! If you love the festive season as much as we do, you’re probably thinking of all the different ways you can make your home look as Christmassy as possible this year. So if you’re looking for some festive inspiration for your designer kitchens, we’ve got you covered. Here are our five top festive decoration tips for 2021!
Chalk walls are on-trend right now, creating a space in your kitchen that looks beautifully contemporary whilst still being practical. From writing shopping lists to creating dinner plans, you can do it all on a chalk wall. This Christmas, ditch the practical purposes and create a gorgeous festive mural. You may have to rope in the help of your most artistic family member or friend for a perfect finish. (We recommend mulled wine or chocolate coins as a festive bribe!)
Even kitchens where space is more of a premium can enjoy Christmas decorations without the clutter. All you need to do is look for spots that aren’t currently used, like your window. We love the aesthetic of some festive greenery along the top of the window, with some stylish hanging decorations or pinecones and berries as a finishing touch.
Fraser fir is iconically festive. Create a centrepiece on your kitchen island or kitchen table with an arrangement of this frosty greenery. Add white candlesticks for a fresh, wintery look with a more understated and chic Christmas feel.
There’s nothing like the smell of Christmas biscuits baking in the oven. The spicy scents of cinnamon and ginger fill the room with sweet, warm sugar, making for a very inviting space! After yours have baked, rather than putting them all away, arrange a selection on a wooden board for a homely, rustic aesthetic that’s undeniably festive. Biscuits in Christmassy shapes – like stars and trees – will earn you bonus festive points.
Your kitchen is a place for cooking, and this bowl full of festive ingredients (and a few non-edible extras) will fit in seamlessly. Choose a bowl with a neutral design for a contemporary look and fill it with cinnamon sticks, baked orange slices, and roasted chestnuts. Add pinecones for an additional festive touch, and carefully arrange all of the components. Not only will this be a beautiful addition to your counter, but it’ll also fill your space with a beautifully Christmassy scent!
The kitchen is often the heart of a home, and decorating yours is a brilliant way to add some extra Christmas spirit! But, to make your space look truly amazing, you need to have the proper foundation. At Kitchen Design Centre, we can help you plan a beautiful kitchen that you’ll be proud to show off not just at Christmas but all year round. Take a peep at our real customer kitchens to see what we can do, or pop into one of our showrooms in Liverpool, Blackburn, or Manchester to see them for yourself. If you do come by, be sure to say hello to our team and let them know of any questions you have so they can help.

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
