An inviting, family-friendly kitchen like this becomes even more welcoming with the display of holiday decor. The white cabinets and dark countertops are a perfect backdrop for the patterns that present themselves in the form of plaid Christmas plates and black and white checkered decorations found throughout the space. Mismatched patterns can coincide in the same area by selecting a pattern made of neutrals to complement a pattern made of colors, creating a look that is very interesting and chic.
