Mantel Decorating Ideas We're Copying For Christmas
We love any opportunity to decorate our homes for the holidays!
When we think of the holidays, we picture ourselves curled up around the fire—which means we need to decorate the mantel! Get inspired with these fun and festive decor ideas that will make your living room that much more cozy.
Bring the drama
Bows are a favourite come Christmastime. Add a little drama to yours by leaving the lengths hanging down your fireplace.
Uneven layers
Branches, berries, ornaments, bows, and bells make for a fun fireplace. Leaving your garland draping off just one side adds asymmetrical interest.
Simple and rustic
No need to go over the top (unless you want to!) with your decorations. Some simple candles, pine branches, and rustic accessories will bring a touch of the festive season indoors.
Magical wonderland
Create a magical corner that looks like it's straight out of a Christmas wonderland with vintage mirrors and gilded decorations.
Colourful bouquets
If you fancy a more unique approach to holiday decor then head over to your local florist and pick out some flowers. You can set them up in colourful and eclectic vases.
Stocking stuffers
The mantel is the perfect place to hang your stockings! Get your favourite ones and decorate with some greenery. Placing them all to one side before Santa comes and fills them up adds an extra flair.
Miniature town
We love the idea of setting up tiny houses to create a Christmas town on your mantel!
Colour coordination
Colour coordinating candles and ornaments is an an easy way to add some height and playfulness to your mantel.
Fruitful arrangements
Dry some orange wedges or flowers and hang them with pine cones and greenery.
Lights everywhere
Light up your home without the use of a fire by installing lamps and fairy lights on your mantel.
Cozy dreams
Don't stop the decorating at your mantel! Add a Christmas village to an usable fireplace hearth. The more, the merrier!
