Even the most subtle decorations will give your kitchen that extra warmth this festive period.

Whether you're cooking or enjoying a festive feast, the kitchen is most definitely where all the chaos happens on Christmas Day. As we get our homes set for the season, why not refresh your kitchen with some of the biggest Christmas décor trends for 2021?

'If you are using your kitchen as a hosting space, or just want to raise the cook's spirits, there are many simple tweaks to festively spruce up the hub of your home,' says Lizzie Beesley, Head of Design at Magnet. 'If you're looking for a more subtle nod to Christmas you can utilise popular Scandinavian decor, or, on the other end of the scale, you can choose a more maximalist approach to your décor.'

Take a look at festive Christmas kitchen ideas...

A hearty Christmas wreath can instantly transform any front door, but households are also placing them around the kitchen.

The most popular locations to adorn kitchen wreaths are on cabinet doors, kitchen windows, or on units above the hob or oven. 'However, it's important you make sure wherever you place your wreath, it is safe and not at risk from setting alight,' Magnet warn.

As well as wreaths, more of us are hanging foliage garlands around windows this Christmas. Whether artificial or real, garlands adorned with fairy lights, pine cones, berries and eucalyptus leaves​​ are a wonderful way to bring the outside in.

Magnet explain: 'The simple addition of a window garland can transform your kitchen into a festive haven this Christmas. If you do not have any suitable windows to work with, you can attach garlands to the top of wall cabinets or doorways for a similar effect.'

Get your craft on this Christmas, because decorative jars filled with snowy winter scenes are trending for 2021. Not sure how to make them? Simply add a layer of white sugar to the base of your jar (this will appear as snow on the ground). Then fill with your favourite objects, such as miniature gingerbread men and candy canes. Complete the look by adding a small tree or little house.

For those who have a kitchen island (or a spare corner on their counter top), adding a DIY Christmas centrepiece is a great way to make your kitchen feel festive.

'Last Christmas, our designers noticed a rise in interest for tiered centrepieces in particular — and predict the trend will continue this year,' Magnet explain. 'You can repurpose a tiered tray stand by adding small festive objects such as pine cones, candles and ivy. Pick colours that complement your kitchen's colour scheme or classic Christmas colours such as red and green.'

Give your dining room chairs a glow-up this Christmas by adding simple decorations to the spindle, such as foliage, stylish swags, ribbons and miniature wreaths. Festive chair decorations are great if you're wanting to create a sophisticated and stylish look.

While tasty gingerbread houses might not last very long (who can resist!), Magnet has predicted they will be used as décor in the run-up to Christmas. Whether you choose large or small ones, simply leave them on display for all to enjoy. The only problem is that people might take a nibble every time they walk past...

Give your kitchen cupboards and shelves a seasonal refresh with Christmas mugs, plates and beautiful festive placemats. Have you got yours yet?

Washing up just got a Christmas upgrade. 'As well as replacing your crockery, you can also swap your everyday kitchen textiles, like tea towels and oven mitts, with their seasonal Christmas counterparts,' say Magnet. 'Having these on display is a useful and natural way to celebrate the festive season.'

While candles are one of the best ways to make the home smell like Christmas, making your very own dried potpourri is a brilliant, cheaper alternative.

All you have to do is choose your favourite ingredients to dehydrate, such as cinnamon sticks, essential oils, herbs, vanilla beans and dried orange slices. To dry the oranges, place them on baking paper in the oven for three hours. Start at 120c, turning them up every 30 minutes until they develop a brown shade. To cool, place them on a metal cooling rack and the home will be smelling like Christmas in no time.

'If you have a window ledge in your kitchen, you can create your very own winter village scene this Christmas — an increasingly popular trend,' explain Magnet. 'By assembling model homes in between faux Christmas trees, on a bed of cotton wool, you can build your very own winter wonderland. Not only will it look great from the inside of your home, you can spread the festive cheer as your neighbours will also get to see the scene too!'
