Finally ... someone figured out that at least some of a household's Christmas decor should come into the kitchen during the holiday season. All the seasonal cooking, baking, and socializing starts in that room, after all. As such, it makes perfect sense that Christmas cabinet wreaths would become a thing. Having those items hanging on nearby cabinet doors gets you in the mood for all that cookie decorating you've got ahead of you. But for the quirkiest among us, there's a more fun Christmastime augmentation for this space: holiday-themed cabinet and drawer pulls!
You can find Christmas-themed drawer and cabinet pulls with a fun candy cane pattern to fit over your existing knobs and handles in your kitchen. No tools will be required when you decide it's time to put up your Christmas decor, and the covers come in different styles to work with different pulls. If your kitchen boasts the long bar pulls, Knobēz Handlez Covers are the decorative accompaniment you'll want to try. The decor pieces are hollow; all you need to do is snap them on top of the handles, kinda like the cabinet-pull equivalent of mittens. Meanwhile, if you have round knobs on your cabinet doors and drawers, try the round PIEZAPRINT Christmas Knob Covers for Cabinets that look like the round, red-striped hard mints that wind up in your doctor's office candy dish each year.
Imagine kitchen drawer pulls that look like round peppermint candies and cabinet pulls that resemble candy canes — they'll make your kitchen look like you've taken a page straight from Santa's decorating book! This DIY temporary decor is renter-friendly, so anyone can use it to complete their festive cabinets. Aside from being cute, they don't require you to replace the pulls, putting them in the "easy" decorating category.
Decorating with these Christmas cabinet decor pieces
Your decorative holiday door and drawer pulls can be dressed up or dressed down, depending on your decorating style. It's also worth mentioning that they'd work in any place in your home that has cabinets and drawers, not just the kitchen. If your bathroom drawers or the cupboard doors on the linen closet are looking a little bit Grinch-y, these will come to the rescue there as well. For those among us who embrace more minimalist decor styles, slipping some candy-cane-striped covers over the kitchen cabinet pulls may be all that's required to give the space a Christmas pick-me-up. They're simple and elegant on their own. With the exception of possibly some red hand towels that you hang on the oven door, you won't need any other holiday decor items to hint at the season.
However, if your decor style leans toward Whoville-level Christmas decor, the holiday-themed pulls could inspire the rest of the ornaments that you bring into the space. Even though these pulls can take the place of the classic wreath on the door, you may still want to introduce some cabinet wreaths to the cupboards, this time with a fun touch that's in keeping with the candy-striped door pulls. One way to do this would be to add a candy-cane-ish element to the decor, like the Suncalla Christmas Mini Wreaths for Cabinets that have red striped ribbons on them. Or, extend the candy-cane-pull motif to your fridge, oven, and other appliance by making wraps for the handles. The repeated striped patterns on the door pulls and the wreath bows encourage the eye to move its jolly way all around your holiday-themed kitchen and back again.
