DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS || STYLING NEW HOLIDAY DECOR || CHRISTMAS DECORATING IDEAS 2025

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my channel, my name is Karoliza and in today's video I'm going to be continuing decorating for Christmas and if you have been following along with my Christmas decorating series or if you are new in this channel, I already did my entryway Christmas decorating, my entire living room and Christmas tree and now it's time to decorate our kitchen. So, I will be doing a very festive Christmas decorating, adding a lot of deep reds, berries, greeneries, twinkling fairy lights and of course my favorite browns and earthy colors to still keep a very organic Christmas decor. So, I hope that you enjoy this video, thank you so much for watching and let's get into this Christmas decorating. Right now the kitchen is clean and simple, almost like a blank slate to start with. I've cleared all the countertops and made sure everything feels bright and ready to start decorating. Today, we are starting by decorating the kitchen window nook and this year I decided to go with something lighter and simpler than last year. So for this window decor, I chose these cedar garlands I got from Lowe's and these are perfect for this area since they are very lightweight. To add just a subtle touch of color, I'm stacking a few red berry branches along the garland, nothing too busy, just a delicate pop of red to bring in that classic Christmas feel. I've already attached the command hooks I needed to hang each garland and I used two of these cedar garlands on this window and then I also added the red berry stems to the second garland. I ended up using two of these red berry bundles that I got from Target and I actually used them last year too for my Christmas kitchen decor and I loved them so much that I decided to use them again this year. And next, I added these furry twinkling lights I found them in Amazon and I love this comb with a green wire which helps to make them blend in seamlessly with the greenery and they have 7 light effects and I've set the number 2. I've received so many questions about these furry lights and of course they will be linked in my description box. To finish it off, I'm bringing back one of my favorite rattan woven bells and I'll be topping with this beautiful and festive red velvet bow and I got it from Target. To hang the bell, I'm just using the ring that comes with and just hanging onto the command hook I've attached in the middle. To attach the bow, I just used the clip on the back of the bow and clipped it right onto the command hook that's holding the bell. And both add that perfect organic texture and pop of Christmas red to complete this window nook. And that's it for this window nook and now we can turn the lights on and automatically it feels more festive and Christmassy. I love how this window turned out, simple, delicate and festive. And now let's move on to the stop sights and I started by the right side. I'm bringing back my vintage breadboards and I'm just layering two of them. I did this simple bells decor adding a cedar napkin ring and a bow to hang on the dark wood breadboard. I'm also bringing back this marble and wood pine tree figure chess board that I got a long time ago in G.A. Maxx. I usually keep this stone mortar here to keep my garlic but this time I wanted to fill it with these snowy pine cones that I got from Hobby Lobby and just sparkling all over a few dried cloves. Next to the breadboards, I'm placing my favorite small rattan vase that I got from Walmart In order to help adding some artificial height, I'm filling with some recycled plastic bags and I wanted to fill it with these beautiful burgundy floral stems I ordered from Etsy to add a delicate touch other than berries. To complete this corner, I wanted to add this beautiful antique wood cookbook stand with a beautiful scalloped edge design I got from Magnolia and I placed that cookbook The Bread of Life and I chose the chocolate croissant perfect with a coffee cup for a cozy Christmas breakfast or dessert. I'm attaching the cedar napkin ring to add a subtle touch of greenery and using it as a festive book separator. I found this red jar candle at Hobby Lobby last year and it's still one of my favorites, I'm lighting it now to start adding that warm, cozy Christmas fragrance and feeling to this space. Now for the left side, I added a little bow to this napkin ring to add a subtle festive touch onto this wall art that I wanted to bring back to this area. I swapped out the crock pot I was using as a utensil holder for this beautiful vase from New Studio Maggie I got last year at Target, I made a little swag greenery accent using a cedar pick from Walmart and two little cow bells and I'm just using the ribbon from the bow to tie it to the vase. And I also wanted to make a bow using this velvet ribbon that I ordered from Amazon and I consider a velvet bow or ribbons add so much Christmas vibes and I also consider that you will never have enough bows to decorate for Christmas. And next, I brought this little terracotta pot I got from Zara Home and I wanted to fill it with this frosted red berries to add a touch of holiday berries to this side. And next, I'm bringing this cedar wreath I also got from Lowe's and it is the same cedar leaves of the garlands I used in the kitchen window and I wanted to keep it very simple so I'm bringing this wooden bells I got from Hobby Lobby this year and I'm tying to the wreath to add that rustic and traditional Christmas accent. For my peninsula, I'm bringing this breadboard I got from Maggi & Co and I'm layering with this dark wood breadboard I'm also adding a charming festive detail too, using two cow bells and just attaching them with a simple jute rope and I wanted to make a bow with a beautiful deep burgundy satin ribbon that I love to make it more elegant and whimsical. And I'm bringing this stone mortar I filled with snowy pine cones and gloves and I consider this goes better here than where I placed it at the beginning. I also wanted to add a berry and greenery arrangement here so I'm bringing my favorite berry stems in this beautiful brown color to add just a subtle red accent I'm using this hanging berry stems I got from Magnolia and I just removed a few of the branches and mixed them in with the brown berries I wanted the brown berry stems to be the main accent of this peninsula. For this remaining spot I just added this framed wall art I found at Marshalls a few days ago and then just bringing this mini lamp I like to use it in this corner to bring a cozy holiday touch to this counter I'm adding a few baked cookies on this cake stand I love styling little moments like this in this kitchen it feels so inviting and adds that warm lived-in Christmas charm like you are always ready to share a sweet treat with a family or guests I also tied a little red bow onto the glass dome cap just a small detail but it adds that charming festive accent next it's time to decorate our island so I'm bringing this new handcraft terracotta vase I ordered from wafer it has an elegant silhouette and I appreciate the handle detail since this is very tall I wanted to add a hanging berry accent with this stunning long berry stem from Magnolia and I'm just letting them drape naturally over the sides to bring in a soft delicate and organic feel I love how they cascade over the edge to add a greenery accent to the center of this kitchen I'm bringing in my favorite cedar stems I found this on Etsy last year and I love them so much that I ordered more this year to use it again in my Christmas decor I'm carefully adding them into the vase within the berry branches to create a natural look and just arranging a little bit as if the berries are just starting to climb over the cedar branches next to the vase I'm placing my antique para tray that I got from Etsy to create a very festive centerpiece and I'm placing this oversized red jar candle from Michaels and to add that natural woodsy touch I'm using my snowy pine cones and arranging them around the candle to fill in that remaining space right in the middle of the centerpiece I'm adding this little cinnamon decor I made last year by tying together a few cinnamon sticks with a dried orange slice it's such a simple touch but it adds that cozy rustic Christmas feel and even brings a hint of seasonal fragrance to the space and this is how this beautiful arrangement and centerpiece combo turned out now let's move on to our coffee bar area and here's where I wanted to add the new cypress accent little tree I got from Walmart but first I wanted to rearrange this coffee bar area because I can make the space I need to add this little cypress accent tree I just needed to have an outlet very close to the tree and I love how the twinkling lights add that magical and festive moment to this area next to cover the outlet I needed something taller to place my syrup bottles and I brought this tall antique wooden riser and this will help to match the height to cover the outlet and next I'm bringing back my favorite rope woven tray to ground this area and place my canisters but before adding them I'm using a couple of coffee books here to separate the space from the coffee machines and make them more seamless and next I'm bringing back these mugs with engraved Christmas trees that I got from Target last year and I also added again these gorgeous deep brown appetizer plates and I'm topping with this pretty mug with a pine tree icon I got from Target this year just adding these practical golden spoons in this mug and next I wanted to place here a bottle of cocoa powder little marshmallows and I also found this bottle of crushed peppermint perfect to sprinkle over a dessert when enjoying a cup of coffee or hot cocoa and next I'm bringing in this vintage wooden dough bowl and I'm laying a flower kitchen towel inside to soften the look and make this little moment feel more delicate I'm placing this primitive gingerbread cookies that I got from Antique Farmhouse and then I'm topping everything with a few orange slices for that rustic old fashioned Christmas moment as if I just took the cookies from the oven fresh and ready to eat and I found this adorable gingerbread jar candle at EMAX and I knew right away I wanted it for my coffee bar cozy moment the last area to decorate are these small shelves and here I'm bringing this Christmas tree framed wall art that I got from Target last year next I'm placing this driftwood pine trees I found at Marshall's and then this beautiful burgundy flocked reindeer below I'm placing this round breadboard I wanted to add the adorable red bow icon bubble glasses here and next I'm bringing back these little ceramic houses I got from Target a long time ago and I still love them and that's it and the very last Christmas touch is adding this beautiful poinsettia my husband brought for me and I'm bringing the woven basket of the large cypress accent tree to place these flowers in and add that organic and textural touch and I love adding my natural plants here to receive the sunlight every morning and I'm so happy with how it all came together this year the space feels festive yet calm filled with those subtle touches of greenery pops of red and so many beautiful textures the soft cedar garlands along the window the warm glow of the candles and the twinkling lights and that natural mix of berries and fresh looking greens make the whole kitchen feel so welcoming I love how the woven rattan details and vintage wood accents bring that rustic charm while the even the smallest touches like the cookie moment the cinnamon and dried orange accents and the little swags on the vase and the cluster of bells help make the kitchen feel alive and ready for the season and the holidays between the greenery the seasonal fragrance of the candles and the natural elements and soft neutral textiles it truly feels like a kitchen ready to enjoy the holidays gather with family bake cookies and make beautiful moments thank you so much for your company and decorating along with me I hope you got so many ideas and so much inspiration
