One of the things I had in mind when decorating the kitchen for the holidays was the fun I was going to have! Decorating for different seasons and the holidays is quite fun for me.
I wanted a white neutral kitchen with plain white subway tile so I could add various decor for the holidays.
The tile backsplash is the perfect backdrop for changing out various artwork and goodies.
Decorating The Kitchen For The Holidays
As you can see, I need a way to hang holiday decorations without causing damage to walls, tile etc. For many years I have been using Command Products to hang decor on wall tiles.
For this project, I used Command Adjustables repositionable 1 lb Hooks and repositionable 1 lb Clips. The fact they are repositionable is amazing! I loved using them!
So, how do you hang decor on TILE? Tile is not anything you want to place a permanent screw in.
My decor is all different sizes so I would have to change out the hooks.
But what I’ve found over the years, hanging decor on tile is so easy! It goes up easy and comes down easy with Command™ Products.
In the image above, I’ve shown the hook that sticks to the tile and secures my wood “North Pole Welcome” sign.
Wowza, I love the repositionable hooks and clips! They can be repositioned up to 3x in the first 20 minutes so you can get it just right.
No tools are required and it holds strong! I had to reposition the hook a couple of times when hanging the wood sign on the backsplash tile – just to get it in the correct position.
DECORATING THE KITCHEN TIPS:
I found the Command products at Walmart.
Walmart also has a great selection of Holiday decor! Wow, I found some really cute decorations. I purchased the following items at Walmart:
- “Santa is Coming to Town” sign
- Black and White check bow
- greenery
- Merry Christmas rug
- Milk for Santa (purchased last year)
I was also excited to learn that there are so many various Command™ products.
The item I found on Amazon for my shower was a Command Bath Squeegee with Water-Resistant Strips.
Walmart (located near the hardware and paint section) carries many of the Command products or you can purchase here.
Above is a clear picture of how I attach bulky items to Command products. I use a pipe cleaner to help attach items such as greenery, etc.
The image below shows the clip attached to the top of the kitchen mantle.
A green pipe cleaner is used to “tie” the greenery onto the clip.
Did you know that Command Products stick to painted, stained, or varnished wood, glass, tile, painted cinder block, plaster, metal, and painted wallboard?
You can also use their products outside on smooth, sealed and finished surfaces including vinyl siding and fences, doors, windows, decks, gutters, and trim.
Every season I change out my signs on the tile backsplash. It is so easy. These hooks are a lifesaver for my decorating!
Check out the above image to see how I attached the plate hanger to the back of the black and white plate.
Attaching the plate hanger onto the clip was so quick and easy!
That is how to hang decorations onto a hard surface like tile!
I love decorating the kitchen with holiday decor damage-free so you don’t have to see holes or nails for the rest of the year.
The kitchen is the heart of every home, I enjoy making the kitchen welcoming and festive for the holidays.
I’ve come up with some ideas that are easy, and I hope it gives you some ideas, too! You can check out to see how I decorate for Spring and last Christmas.
Notice how I hang unique decor on my backsplash?
How do I do it? Of course, I use hanging strips.
I enjoy decorating for the holidays and I know my walls and tiles will be damage free.

The pine garland you have above your stove, would you share where you found it? I have been wanting a long needle pine garland with no luck finding one. Love your decor! Thanks for the ideas.

Hi Alice!
I had leftover garland from years before. I also purchased another garland from Walmart and put the TWO together. You can find garland at any craft store and Walmart.
Thank you for your kind words!
