The festive season is upon us, and it’s time to infuse every corner of your home with Christmas cheer - including spaces often overlooked, like your bathroom and kitchen. With a touch of creativity, you can transform these essential rooms into warm, inviting areas that reflect the magic of the season.
At Cook & Bathe, we believe holiday décor can complement your existing interiors, including the finishes of your tapware, for a cohesive and stylish look.
The Bathroom: A Festive Sanctuary
Bathrooms may not be the first space you think of when decorating for Christmas, but with the right accents, they can become a delightful retreat for you and your holiday guests.
Festive Hand Towels for a Splash of Cheer
Start simple by swapping out everyday towels for those with festive patterns or colours. Choose hues that complement your existing tapware - such as Matte Black, Brushed Gold, or Chrome - to maintain a cohesive aesthetic. For example, pair Phoenix Tapware’s Matte Black fixtures with deep red or forest green towels for a bold, festive vibe.
Seasonal Scents for a Cozy Ambiance
Scented candles or diffusers with holiday-inspired fragrances like cinnamon, pine, or vanilla can instantly elevate the mood. Place them on your bathroom counter or near your bath to create a cozy, spa-like atmosphere. Look for decorative jars or holders that coordinate with your bathroom’s finishes for an extra touch of sophistication.
Greenery for a Natural Touch
Add small touches of seasonal greenery, like eucalyptus or holly, to bring the outdoors in. Use mini wreaths or garlands to frame mirrors, towel racks, or shelves. If your bathroom features Brushed Gold fixtures, opt for gold-accented greenery to tie the look together.
The Kitchen: Where Function Meets Festivity
Your kitchen is the heart of holiday gatherings, and adding festive décor can make it an even more inviting space.
Christmas Tea Towels and Accessories
Like in the bathroom, tea towels are an easy and functional way to bring Christmas spirit into the kitchen. Choose towels in festive shades that complement your sink mixer or tapware. For kitchens featuring the Franke Eos Neo Gold Pull-Out Tap, opt for soft gold accents or warm neutrals in your decorations.
Holiday Centrepieces for the Countertop
Create a holiday-themed centrepiece for your kitchen island or countertop. A bowl of ornaments in metallic finishes, a small Christmas tree, or a tray of candles surrounded by greenery can add festive flair without cluttering your workspace. If your kitchen tapware is Chrome, incorporate silver and white accents for a sleek, polished look.
Functional Décor: Festive Storage Jars
Swap out regular containers for festive storage jars. Fill them with seasonal treats like cookies, candy canes, or spices and display them on open shelving or countertops. Match the jar finishes with your tapware for a cohesive aesthetic - gold jars for a kitchen featuring Brushed Gold, or matte jars for a contemporary, minimalist vibe.
Matching Décor with Your Tapware: A Designer’s Tip
The finishes on your kitchen and bathroom tapware set the tone for these spaces, and your holiday décor should work in harmony with them.
Chrome Tapware: Opt for silver, white, and cool-toned decorations for a modern and sophisticated feel.
Brushed Gold Tapware: Choose warm tones like gold, burgundy, and ivory to enhance the luxurious feel of your fixtures.
Matte Black Tapware: Bold colours like red, green, or metallics like silver create a striking contrast.
By aligning your holiday décor with your tapware, you’ll create a polished, cohesive look that’s sure to impress your guests.
