The Christmas holidays often involve cozy evenings with your loved ones spent by the fireplace. While your tree is usually the focus of your room, your fireplace and mantel are the perfect place to show off eye-catching decor and those beautiful DIY projects you've been working on. Here are a couple of holiday mantel ideas I love when decorating at Christmas. I've included some fabulous examples below!
Greenery
Draping your mantel in beautiful greens like eucalyptus, pine and a variety of evergreens is a beautiful way to add color and warmth.
Candles
Short, tall, thin, thick - mix them up! By adding white or cream-colored candles to your mantel, you are illuminating your space and making it even cozier.
Stockings
Classic stockings are eye-catching and a great way to add visual interest! Mix up colors, patterns and textures for fun.
Mirrors
Having a mirror is a classic on the mantel. It adds depth and reflects back all of the light from the candles to add to the cosiness.
Bottlebrush Trees
Ranging in color and sizes, these modern trees add visual interest and are great for layering!
