When it comes to holiday kitchen countertops decorating projects, there is a lot to know. Colors and materials factor strongly into holiday decorations — especially with stones like quartz becoming ever more popular. Even though quartz costs a little bit more than other types of stones, it comes with advantages that homeowners will love during the holidays.
Colors and types of stones aren’t the only factors to look at when planning your holiday decorations. There are ideas that revolve around things like waterfall islands and custom mitered built-up edges. What this means is that your holiday decoration outcome will be determined by your countertops material, and the design of the surface too. Let’s look at some holiday kitchen countertops decorating ideas, so that you can make an informed decision as you plan your decoration project.

Why decorating Quartz Countertops for the holidays is easy
Without the sealing and scrubbing, you will find putting Christmas decoration on quartz countertops quite easy. Quartz countertops require less upkeep than their granite counterparts and offer timeless appeal. Plus, the shimmering surface will be less dominant than other decorations in your kitchen, so you’re unlikely to grow tired of your holiday lightings. Quartz countertops pair well with both light and dark colored decorations, making them easy to integrate into any holiday kitchen countertops decorating scheme.
Neutral toned countertops are easier to decorate
While you will be able to find countertops in a vast array of colors, flashy colors are losing popularity, because they don’t pair well with holiday decorations. Many homeowners today are choosing to install neutral-toned countertops, opting for colors such as grey or beige. Neutral colored countertops are an excellent choice considering that they will be a good fit for any holiday kitchen countertops decorating project. Choosing a neutral color for your countertop will also make your kitchen or other space feel larger, even with the other decorations present.
Flush countertops with no overhang
Yet another holiday kitchen countertops decorating idea is the overhang. Traditionally, countertops were designed according to their purpose which is to provide a hard, durable surface for food preparation and to protect the face of the cabinetry from spills. Typically, a countertop protrudes past the face of the doors and drawers so that any spills from the counter drop directly to the floor where they can be easily wiped clean (instead of dribbling down the face of the cabinets and hardware).
With Transitional design being such a popular look, some Fabricators and homeowners are opting for countertops with little or no overhangs, to emphasize the flush, sleek designs, and to allow for other ornamental designs. This can be a stunning look as long as the homeowner is aware of the disadvantage of not having an overhang and is willing to sacrifice function for more decorations allowance.
Moody Hues blend beautifully with holiday decorations
All the experts agree on this one: Dark colors are making a big comeback in California Kitchen Countertops. Countertop customers are starting to lean away from the trending gray of the past years and into the navy palette, which look amazing when paired with gold decorations. In addition to navy, black and forest green would also look great with Christmas lights.
Classic Marble looks great with flashing Christmas lights
Marble is a great option if you’re looking for a beautiful surface, so long as you’re committed to caring for it. While marble can be cheaper than granite, its super high-maintenance, so bear that in mind when you’re shopping around.
Basically, marble is the ideal option for someone with great taste and an aversion to cooking. All you need for your holiday kitchen countertops decorating project is some twinkle lights on your marble countertops, to impact the whole kitchen. Keep in mind that marble surfaces will stain and scratch if you’re not careful.
