How to Decorate a Half Wall for Christmas
Jean Allsopp
With the holidays upon us, it's officially time to pull down those boxes of holiday decorations from the attic, roll up your flannel sleeves, and get to work decking the halls. (That is, if you haven't already!) For many of us, this means adding festive details to every single inch of your house, inside and out. First things first: trim the Christmas tree and get those outdoor Christmas decorations up stat!
But there is still work to be done. When it comes time to layer in Christmas decor throughout the rest of your house, make sure to add an extra dash of holiday cheer to the kitchen. Even though the kitchen is the most utilitarian room in your house, it's also the heart of your home, where you'll be spending tons of time this season, from baking Christmas cookie recipes to catching up with loved ones around the island. So make it merry!
The breakfast table or island is a great place to incorporate creative Christmas kitchen table decor—think Christmas centerpiece ideas, a sweet spot to display your best gingerbread houses, or even a kitchen themed Christmas tree. For pretty kitchen cabinet Christmas decorating ideas, drape fresh Christmas garlands above and hang wreaths atop cabinet doors or in windows. Smaller Christmas kitchen accessories can happily tuck into open shelves.
After you've tried all the best country kitchen Christmas decorating ideas, we bet you'll be ready to relax with a mug of hot chocolate and, might we suggest, a plate of those fresh-baked cookies!

Lovely and Layered Christmas Kitchen
This mostly white kitchen is anything but blah, especially at Christmastime, when the homeowners pile on the pretty with garland, wreaths, and other natural touches. Greenery tucked into brass urns and pottery is placed throughout—from the countertops to the breakfast table. Red bows, linens, and other kitchen accessories make a simple holiday statement.

Woodsy Christmas Kitchen
Wispy wreaths made by bending faux berry branches into a ring shape and securing with garden wire hang from oak cabinets. Open cabinet tops offer just enough space to tuck in fresh greenery. The butcher block-like island offers the ideal spot to decorate cookies in the shapes of forest woodland creatures like deer, foxes, and squirrels.

Understated Christmas Kitchen
With not a red bow in sight, there's no doubt it's the holidays when you enter this kitchen—especially in the days leading up the Christmas, when the nine-foot-long farm table is piled with the makings of gingerbread houses and other Christmas crafts. Simple swaths of garland accent the giant windows that flank the black steel-framed range hood.

Calm and Bright Christmas Kitchen
With a soaring 22-foot ceiling and warm antique touches, it's no surprise this Nashville kitchen is where everyone congregates, especially during the holidays.

Vintage Collectibles Christmas Kitchen
Pull out all the vintage collectibles to cheer up an otherwise neutral kitchen space. From red and white tins holding tree clippings to a group of Santa mugs with bottle brush trees, these happy accessories are sure to brighten any room. Open shelving is another clever spot to tuck in seasonal collectibles (spy the festive plaid Thermoses here!).

Festive Wreaths Christmas Kitchen
You hang wreaths on your exterior windows, so copy that same look inside. Here, the symmetry of the hood range zone is emphasized with windows on each side and wreaths strung up on the sconces above. A single ornament is tied on to the iron pot rack.
