Ideas for Christmas decor in kitchen window?

December 2, 2019

I’d like to do something “christmassy“ on/around my kitchen sink window but can’t figure out what to do. A regular greenery garland would be too bulky, I think. The sill isn’t deep enough for anything. I thought something like this could be cute but no idea where to find such a narrow “delicate” garland. I like the hearts.

Or something like this on each window? They would be impossible to make exactly the same, though, and the lack of symmetry might drive me crazy.

Maybe just a garland at the top of the windows?

Ideas, inspiration?

PS I like what they did with this garland...it’s attached or just propped on the curtain rod. Not sure if that would work with my windows.

You could hang little 6" wreaths like these with ribbons from your locks on each window.

Congratulations on your new home! Seems like you already have a back splash behind the sink soooo, I'm not sure about adding another stone in the back splash area. How about some copper tin roof panels as aback splash??? then paint the walls a creamy beige...stay away from the pink undertone. Lowes carries a beautiful color by Eddie Bauer called Pecan, EB26-4. Then depending on the style you are going w, I would change the drop down light and I would add a drp down over the island. Some rugs would really help in this large space too. I would love to suggest a window treatment, but it would be for what I'm seeing in that space and since it's your space and not mine, it would help to know what /how you are planning on furnishing these rooms. Good luck and post some pics!:)

First off, beautiful large space, love the moldings and architectural dimension around your tv area. I'm with your husband, I love carpet in tv areas. Why would you have to change what you already have it looks great. For your windows, have you thought about roman shades are plantation shutters? I think heavy curtains would be too much. What is your personal style, currently as is, it looks a little traditionl/eclectic? Please remove the foliage alondside the tv...it really makes the space appear too old. If you choose to keep the foliage, simply change its base, because what you have now blends in with your wall color. Can't wait to see your final results.

If privacy & weather is not an issue, leave them uncovered. Looks like you have some lovely trees out there. Otherwise, you could do a sheer or linen curtain pulled to the side. Typically, the wider & higher the curtain is, the bigger the window will appear. Or you can buy vertical blinds that are adjustable in length at Walmart or Target, etc. You can probably custom order vertical blinds from whoever made your shutters.

See floor plan below for family room. The room walks out to a lake. We have an upright piano that might need to go in the space and would like a bar or mini kitchen in the area on the far right (that's where the plumbing will be located).

What about a simple wreath with some red ribbon? One for each window?

I love the mini wreaths Fun posted-- that's been my plan for the last few years but I've yet to actually make it happen. I am also surprised by how much I like the felt holly garland. They are adorable and just a little quirky!

I love the ribbons with a little bit of greenery and bell. Also love the garland on top of the curtain rod with the hanging snowflakes and balls! I may steal that idea!

Thanks! After much obsessing, I think I’m just going to do something like this.

PS look at that sweet little wreath with the pink ribbon in the second pic. So cute.

@Sueb20, that's the mini boxwood wreath from my post. You can buy them on Amazon with or without the ribbon.

It's a kitchen. How about a herb wreath or garland?

I’m so lazy. Plus DH was getting his knickers in a twist about me “banging nails into brand new woodwork” so...I snuck a push pin into the middle and threw a plain grapevine wreath and a heart ornament on it. Hold your applause, please.

Wish I had bought 3. I put 2 on my tree today. They add the perfect amount of whimsy.

In our previous house, I had 3 windows over my sink. I used Command hooks on the top of the casing to hang wreaths with ribbons.

That looks beautiful!

I agree with Sueb.

And even from here, I can hear the gears in her head turning for next year, or even later this week.
