Make Your Mantel Shine this Holiday
Most mantelpieces get little attention throughout the year. We craft a thoughtful vignette of pictures and decorative objects, then leave it be for months at a time. But the holidays are the perfect time to give that forgotten mantel a new look. Here, a few options for sprucing up ol' Saint Nick's entry point with ease.
For a contemporary look, channel the colors of winter frost with white, silver, and light blue.
Red berries instantly add a dose of Christmas cheer.
Not in the mood for boughs of holly? Keep your mantle simple with a grouping of white, flickering candles. Their warm glow will be appreciated all through the holidays–and throughout the rest of the year as well.
Keep it simple with little more than a swath of garland.
... Or dress your garland up with lots of lights, berries, and, of course, a stocking hung by the chimney with care.
Forage your backyard for boughs, then add a few decorative elements from around your house – instant mantelpiece!
Similarly, a few pine cones found outdoors work wonders in your holiday decorations.
