Christmas Mantel Decor
How do we decorate a Christmas mantel? Go for lush evergreen garlands that may include lights, pinecones, real greenery, antlers, ribbons and other stuff depending on the style. Think of cloches and jars with ornaments, pinecones, berries and acorns or some othe winter-inspired decor. Hang some stockings, oversized bells and ribbon bows to add a glam feel to the mantel. Put some signs and artworks inspired by the holidays to create a backdrop. Add touches of the style you’ve chosen, for example, wooden beads, burlap stockings and ribbons, wooden Christmas trees for a rustic mantel, elegant black and white ornaments and a greenery garland with no lights for a modern look, vintage signs and mirrors plus bells in jars for a vintage feel. I’d recommend to style the fireplace and the space around it, too , to achieve a stronger impression. Extend the mantel decor around using lights or oversized ornaments inside the fireplace, use mini trees with matching decor, put firewood, evergreens, antlers and bells or candle lanterns. If you place a Christmas tree with matching decor next to the fireplace, the look will be fantastic.
