CHRISTMAS MANTEL DECORATING IDEAS FOR A BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY DISPLAY
There's no better feeling than cozying up to a warm winter fireplace, especially one with a festive mantel display! The Christmas tree doesn’t have to be the only focal point of your home, and we're firm believers in the power of a well-decorated holiday mantel. From twinkling lights and bottle brush trees, to a Christmas village or even a lush garland, we're breaking down some of our favorite Christmas mantel decorations to add to your home this holiday season!
Festive candlesticks and candle holders are easy Christmas decorations that work in every area of the home. We suggest displaying a few bold holders at varying heights across your mantel, adorning them with coordinating taper candles.
These cast iron bow candleholders are perfect for a red and pink Christmas setting. Pair them with some bow candlesticks, and you'll have a display you can keep up well into Valentine's Day!
Both festive and nostalgic, glass trees are wonderful Christmas decorations for the mantel. Not only are they cute and classic, they look extra eye-catching atop a fireplace, roaring fire or not. Pick up a few in any color scheme you desire, add a few other festive accents, and you've got yourself a top-tier mantel display!
If traditional trees aren't sparking your Christmas light, then go for something plaid or checkered! Bold glass trees make such a stunning statement in your living room, set alone or with a coordinating garland.
Let's talk about garlands! It's a no-brainer that your Christmas mantel would not be complete without one or two... or three! Layering a few sparkly garlands adds so much dimension and character to any mantel. It's also a whimsical way to add pops of color to your traditional Christmas decorations!
Don't forget to hang our stockings by the chimney with care! This Christmas mantel gives us all the warm holiday feels, and is super simple to recreate for a classic holiday tableau. Simply coordinate some Santa figurines with matching velvet stockings and drape a simple evergreen garland over top. Pair with knit stockings for a more rustic farmhouse feel.
Craving even more Christmas magic? Find it with a mantel adorned with a mini holiday village! These glistening snow-covered houses bring the most inviting and awe-inspiring atmosphere. They also make fun collectables to expand upon year after year!
If you want to add a little more elegance to a small display, simply incorporate some fresh winter bouquets! Paired with peppermint striped candles, this mantel decor is sure to leave a fa-la-la-la-lasting impression on all your holiday guests!
Oh deer, this mantel has us stopped in our tracks! We can’t help but add some balloons to the holiday decor scene, and we love how adorable these letters are! A red balloon mosaic like this is perfect for a Christmas party, or as a playful holiday decoration to leave up all season long! How’s that for a Christmas mantel idea?
Christmas mantels are a holiday staple for us, so we hope we've inspired you to bring some of these festive elements into your home. We can't wait to see the cozy Christmas creations you come up with!
From our fête to yours, Happy Holidays!
