Easy Christmas Decorating Tips for Your Mantel

Decorating your mantel for Christmas is great way to add more warmth and happiness of the holiday to your home. The best place to start is by picking a style of Christmas mantel decorations you’d like to use and then incorporating aspects of it into your mantel. Some of the most common Christmas decorating styles include:

Classic

Classic: To bring a classic touch to your mantel, hang a simple wreath with ribbons and pinecones, place pillar or taper candles in festive reds and greens on either end of your mantel, hang a garland from the front of the mantel, and place a small tree in the center and decorate it with simple Christmas bulbs, ribbons, and lights.

 

Modern

Modern: A more modern look can be achieved by focusing on silvers and whites with splashes of red here and there. Place white pillar candles, silver bulbs, and white and silver stars along the mantel, and a simple white or silver tree in the center. Top the look off with a rich velvet red ribbon hung along the front of the mantel.

 

Whimsical

Whimsical: For a festive whimsical look, bring some whimsy into your mantel decorating with Santa figures, nutcrackers, miniature presents, fun holiday prints, and candle holders featuring snowmen, reindeer, angels, and other cheery holiday favorites.

A Note About Safety

When incorporating Christmas mantel decorations into your home, remember to always put safety first. Avoid hanging anything too close to the fireplace itself, use flame resistant decorations, and never leave any lights on or candles burning when you are not home.
