1. Set the Mood With Warm Ambient Color Combos
Whether you realize it or not, your surroundings have a lot to do with how you feel. It can be hard for your guests to relax and get into the spirit when the walls are plain white everywhere they look. No amount of decorations can hide such an ordinary paint job, so the color of your kitchen should be the first thing that you focus on in your kitchen remodel. For the holidays, we highly suggest warm colors to keep everyone feeling nice and cozy as they sip on their hot cider!
Consider these warm color options for your kitchen to ring in the holiday season:
- Earthy tones including greens and browns
- Dark burnt orange tones
- A soft copper theme
- Natural colors like wood and stone palettes
Just like how the right lighting can set the mood, so can your choice of paint! Your decision should be completely deliberate for the best effect, but you can receive help from one of our design consultants.
2. Extend the Invite Log With a Spacious Open-Concept Kitchen
The more guests you invite over, the more space you need for everyone to feel at home. You might not be able to stretch out your house, but opting for an open-concept kitchen is the next best thing. Imagine a kitchen/dining room combo without any obstructions. That’s the beauty of an open-concept kitchen. It can get pretty busy during the holidays as people are preparing dishes and filling plates, and being able to get a message across without having to peek around the corner and yell over the fuss can help limit the chaos. Imagine everyone being able to convene with ease for a peaceful gathering. Now that’s priceless!
3. Cater to All Seating Preferences For Comfortable Guests
Do you have a favorite chair? So do your guests. Some like them plush, some like them high, and some like them with plenty of room for their thighs. Your new kitchen can hold a plethora of seating options from barstools to benches so everyone’s bum has a designated spot.
Here are some seating choices that you can offer your guests for cozy holiday gatherings:
- Booth or bench seating along the wall
- Bar stools by the kitchen island
- Banquet seating combining chairs and booths
- And of course, classic dining chairs
4. Make Room For Everything You Need With Ample Storage
Festive feasts are no small task. Your kitchen should be equipped to handle it all from organizational cabinet features for ceramic pots and holiday dish sets to pull-outs designed for spices, utensils, and more. Even having a sizable fridge can come in handy for keeping all sorts of cold dishes and desserts nice and fresh until it’s time to dig in. You’ll also need a lot of fridge space to hold all those leftovers!
