5 Holiday Mantel Decor Ideas

Tis’ the season for holiday decor, hot cocoa, and Christmas movies! As some say, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! We love decorating for the holidays, it brings everyone together and makes a space feel so much more cheerful and bright. As most of you know, we sell a variety of mantels in various styles and finishes, so today we are going to spotlight 5 of our favorite ways to style a fireplace mantel for the holidays!

1. Garlands

Garlands are a traditional holiday decoration made of pine or other greenery that can be placed on top of a mantel or shelf! Nowadays you can find garlands in many different colors, materials, and sizes to master the holiday look and style you are going for. We love garlands because they bring a little piece of the outdoors inside for a stunning holiday design.

2. Stockings

Stockings are the most common holiday mantel decoration because they effortlessly bring the holiday spirit into a home! We love stockings because they are traditional, but you can also find so many different styles and designs of stockings that can match your home decor and modernize the tradition!

3. Candles 

Candles are a comforting and homey addition to any fireplace mantel. Placing a few candles on each side of the mantel on a candle stand will definitely up your home decor game. Christmas scents also smell amazing and the smell of your home is really important when it comes to hosting and throwing holiday gatherings.

4. Banners

Banners are a super fun way to express holiday words or figures on your fireplace mantel. There are so many adorable holiday banners you can buy or even turn into mini DIY projects! Banners not only make great mantel decor but also great gifts, especially if they are handmade!

5. Lanterns

Lanterns look stunning paired with a garland and a few candles! Using a lantern as decor piece will bring a cozy and warm feeling to your home which is essential during the holiday season. Especially if you live near us where there’s snow on the ground and the temperatures don’t rise above 45 degrees!
