Did you catch my appearance on Fox 4 Good Day where I displayed my sure-fire components for perfect Christmas mantle decor?
If not, don’t worry—you can still catch the segment and pick up all my easy, practical tips for styling your Christmas mantel like a pro. Check it out here!
Now let’s talk about your home. What do you use for your Christmas mantel? Stockings, of course—they’re a must! But what else do you add to make it feel festive and unique to your family? Do you go for greenery, lights, ribbon, or a collection of ornaments? I’d love to see what you’re doing this year.
What do you use for your Christmas mantle? Stockings, sure. But what else? Post your pix on my Facebook page!
And if you need a little inspiration, let me show you a few of my favorite mantels from years past. One year I created a soft and serene look using neutrals paired with natural greenery—so simple, but it instantly gave the room a warm, organic feel.
Another year, I pulled out a vintage Christmas mantel for a throwback vibe.
And here’s a fun twist: even if you don’t have a fireplace, you can still create the effect! In one space without a working fireplace, I used an antique mantel as the backdrop. With garland, lights, and stockings, it looked just as magical and inviting as the real thing.
The truth is, your mantel can set the tone for your whole holiday home. Whether you love rustic farmhouse charm, timeless tradition, or something modern and bold, a well-styled mantel makes the entire room feel cozy and complete. So grab your stockings, greenery, or even a few unexpected treasures, and create your own Christmas mantel magic this year!
And then we go down memory lane with a vintage throwback Christmas Mantle…
No fireplace? No problem! In this room there is no working fireplace, but my antique Christmas mantel decorated for the holidays gives the same effect: warm and cozy!
