Have you brought out your dining room decorations for fall? They could be fun Halloween or Thanksgiving items that you’re pulling out for your dining room or even your living room, but what about the kitchen?
While most of the great food this time of year is born in a home kitchen, it seems that many people don’t appreciate their kitchens as much as they should and don’t decorate them for fall festivities. You should at least make an effort to decorate the table.
Perhaps you are not sure what kind of theme to choose in this room? Well here are some ideas.
Hallowe’en
If you really love Halloween, you should also dress up your kitchen for this holiday. Start with the tables. Most people think of cool treats and things to eat on Halloween. That means they will look at the kitchen tables immediately after entering the kitchen. They can expect there to be some treats waiting to be chewed on. Don’t disappoint. From popcorn balls to wrapped candied apples to freshly made Halloween cupcakes, make sure there’s always something pleasing to the eye and the stomach.
Thanksgiving
When you think about your kitchen tables and Thanksgiving, you may be thinking about all the work that’s going to go into this place to make sure your dining room food is perfect on Thanksgiving. Feel free to keep the theme while decorating your tables. A perfect way to do this is to place a cornucopia on the table and have all kinds of fall-colored foods come out of the opening. Each grocery store is stocked with beautiful ears of corn and colorful pumpkins and gourds that will complete the look.
Apple or pumpkin pie
Nothing says vacation in the kitchen like the aroma of cake. It can be apple pie or pumpkin pie, but either lets everyone in the house know that someone is in that kitchen creating a holiday favorite. If you want to make this theme your kitchen decor, there are a few things you can do:
The aroma: You need the aroma of a cake in the kitchen. You could cook cakes regularly. But if you’d rather not, consider placing scented candles on kitchen tables, or try any of the other fragrances you can buy at the store.
The Appearance: Fortunately, cake is a very popular item in kitchens. You’ll have no trouble finding all kinds of cake-themed placemats, centerpieces, and accents to deck out your kitchen tables with country warmth.
festive autumn
One last issue to consider is simply appreciating the season. Autumn itself is a beautiful time of the year with all the colors changing in the trees. You can bring this to your fall-themed kitchen tables that include leaf-decorated china, leaf-shaped placemats, and a foliage centerpiece that shows off the best of fall colors.
