Frequently asked questions

How do I decorate a kitchen for Christmas without losing counter space?

Stick to vertical and overhead decor: a garland above the cabinets, mini wreaths on cabinet fronts, and a slim centerpiece down the middle of the island only.

What goes above kitchen cabinets at Christmas?

A loose garland with battery lights, a row of bottle brush trees in graduated heights, and one or two oversized ornaments balance the negative space well.

Is greenery safe near the stove?

Keep all greenery, real or faux, at least 18 inches from any open flame or heating element. Battery-operated lights are safer than plug-in strings near cooking zones.
