Festive fireplace mantel decorating ideas

  • Housetrends
Lodge-inspired decor
Create a theme to tie a room together. This holiday fireplace décor carries on the rustic Tahoe theme seen in the family room.

The fireplace is often considered the focal point in most living rooms. But if you’re like most of us, the mementos and accessories sitting on your mantel don’t change much—until just after Thanksgiving, when you start decorating for the holidays. Here are a few fireplace mantel decorating ideas to get you in the holiday spirit.

Red, white and blue holiday decor

Coordinate accessories in a room to create a polished look. The fireplace mantel and table in this formal dining room feature the same floral accessories and china.

Complement interior design

Draw inspiration from the interior design of a room. The fireplace decorations in this living room include a burgundy bow that complements the colors and furnishings seen in this space.

Add whimsy with ornaments

Add some whimsical character during the holidays. This fireplace mantel is overflowing with greenery, polka dot ornaments, and Santa figurines.

Natural holiday decor

The fireplace mantel decorations in this home include natural ingredients, such as fresh greenery and pinecones to create an old-fashioned holiday atmosphere.

Christmas village scene

Utilize the fireplace mantel to show off your favorite collection of holiday decorations, such as a Christmas village scene. Rather than a mirror or favorite piece of artwork, hang a decorative wreath over the fireplace for the season.

Stockings add character

Represent every member of the family. Hang embroidered stockings with the names of each family member from the mantel for a touch of personal character.

Let woodwork shine

Let your fireplace speak for itself. Complement the unique carving and woodwork with a simple grouping of vases and family photos.

Decorate with birds

Add whimsical character by thinking outside of the box with fireplace decorations. This mantel incorporates feathered friends such as penguins, owls and birds into the floral arrangement.
