Christmas Decorating For Fireplace Mantels
Burcu Avsar
The Christmas season also means cozy nights spent by the fire—which means your fireplace and mantel need to be decked out in the holiday spirit, too. You already know that your tree will fit the part, but your Christmas mantel shouldn't be overlooked! No, we aren't just talking about eye-catching Christmas stocking holders or a single DIY wreath. In fact, we think you should decorate everything from floor to ceiling with a collection of garlands, bottle brush trees, and even tiny villages.
While this may feel like a daunting task, the following Christmas mantel decorations will show you that you don't have to be an interior designer to pull off something beautiful. To inspire your Christmas mantel decorating, we've included options that will suit every style and aesthetic. From farmhouse style, like repurposed crates and windows, to modern black-and-white color palettes, we've made choosing your Christmas decorations much easier. To make it even better, all of these ideas include DIY Christmas touches, meaning you can achieve your dream aesthetic without breaking the bank. Although you may want to put off decorating until the last minute, we think these best Christmas mantel decorations will convince you to start right now.
