How To Decorate A Fireplace Mantel In 4 Easy Steps
Decorate your fireplace mantel to your holiday fancy with these four easy steps:
1. Choose a Centerpiece
The holidays are the perfect time to change out your decorations that have been there for the past 11 months. Try decorating with a big wreath, sign of the season, or a shiny mirror.

*Bonus tip: You can also jazz up items you already have with holiday colors and sparkly garland!
2. Add Some Trim To Decorate Your Fireplace Mantel
Add fresh evergreen garland to drape or bough your mantel. If garland isn’t your speed, you can add branches, berry strings, or ribbon and bows.

As always, make sure that these decorations are a safe distance away from your firebox.
3. Embellish, Embellish, Embellish
Once you established your centerpiece and trim, now it’s the time to fill out your mantel with your small figurines.

4. Light It Up!
As God said, “let there be light.” Your mantel is no exception! Add a touch of sophistication to your hearth with some lights.

Add a variety of tall and short candles to frame your centerpiece, or fairy lights throughout the garland to add a soft glow.
