Kevin J. Miyazaki
When it comes to putting up Christmas decorations, you should never overlook the focal point of your living room. This holiday season, give your fireplace the attention it deserves with stunning Christmas mantel décor options that include garlands, candles, and of course, stockings hung with care.
Ree Drummond puts up beautiful holiday decorations in the Lodge every year, paying special attention to the gorgeous fireplace in the center. Made of locally sourced stone, the fireplace looks its finest when the mantel is decked out with candles, garland, Christmas stockings, and last but not least, a pair of red cowboy boots. Ahead, you'll find similar ideas for Christmas fireplace decorations that range from rustic holiday décor to modern updated displays. Once you've put up your favorite Christmas tree decorations, it's time to turn your attention to your mantel. Whether you want to go for a classic look using bottle brush trees, vintage signs, holiday wreaths, and knitted stockings, or try a more minimalistic style using modern wooden trees and an understated garland, you'll find so much inspiration here. All you need is a little DIY magic to make these gorgeous designs a reality. Before you know it, you'll have beautiful Christmas mantel decorations that are worthy of being showcased in the Lodge.
