Whether you like to go rustic or bohemian, there are many christmas decor mantel ideas that will help you create a warm and festive holiday display. For example, a boho-inspired Christmas mantel could feature a mix of woven textiles like dreamcatchers and macrame as well as rustic ornaments, kitchy tinsel, and colorful stockings. To add a dash of color, try incorporating a few strands of bright poinsettias or holly berries to the mix.
Begin your decorating with a focal point item, such as a large wreath or piece of holiday art, then layer in items with varying heights and depths. If your mantel is long enough, try placing tall candlesticks or lanterns on either end of the display. Or, for a more contemporary vignette, place a grouping of vases filled with tree trimmings or flower arrangements in the center of the display.
Another option for a layered Christmas mantel is to create a greenery garland that can be reused year after year. Whether you choose fresh evergreens or faux, make sure the garlands are evenly distributed and draped over both sides of the mantel for a balanced look.
For a festive display, scout your backyard for branches, tree trims, and bright berries to incorporate into your decor. Alternatively, you can purchase pre-made twig or branch garlands to give your mantel an instant festive look.
If you’re looking for a merry and bright holiday palette, opt for a rosy red display. Blogger Ursula Carmona used a vintage gilt frame as a simple backdrop for an enormous cross-stitched holiday artwork, then hung red and gold stockings from a DIY hangar box adorned with traditional Christmas ornaments. A light dusting of sugar “snow” encapsulates the charming display to complete the look.
