Designer Tip: How to Decorate Your Mantel for Christmas
So how do you decorate a mantel for christmas? Start by choosing items that reflect your personal style and your home. Look around your space. What do you see? Do you love color, or texture, or maybe you have a theme that you love? Find inspiration in what you notice already exists in your home. This helps to unify the space and make the holiday decor seem like it could stay there all year round!

When choosing decor for my own home, I opt for pieces that I can use year after year and sometime even year round! I like to curate a home that is beautiful to me and sparks joy when I enter it!
I absolutely despise clutter! Don’t believe me…ask my family! They will tell you if they sit something on the kitchen counter, it disappears before they even have a chance to move it 😂!
It’s one of those things, that I don’t even realize I am doing! I just see it and my brain instantly is like “get rid of it”!
For me, clutter evokes stress and anxiety. My mind doesn’t have room to relax and think freely when it is bogged down by endless piles of stuff! So, when it comes to holiday decor…less is more!
Choose items that work with what you already have in your home and keep it simple! When guest come over, they want to be able move in your space and not be bumping into endless amounts of holiday decorations! After all, holidays are about spending time with the people we love!
Our fireplace got a facelift when we moved in! We painted the existing wood mantel black and wrapped the brick with a porcelain slab material to fit our own unique style! Before photo below…
