What’s nicer than spending cozy winter nights by the fire? Spending nights by the fire with a stunning holiday mantle! Fortunately, you don’t have to be an interior designer to pull off an inspired holiday look. Here are five tips for decorating your mantel to suit every style and aesthetic. 

Stick With Tradition

For a stunning holiday mantel, you can never go wrong with a traditional aesthetic. Festive stockings, a pre-lit wreath, some garlands, and little Christmas trees will give you a classic look that’s sure to feel festive. 

Make it Nostalgic and Cozy

Spruce up your mantle this holiday season by layering vintage photos in antique frames. This look will automatically bring on warm, nostalgic feelings to get you in the holiday spirit! Don’t forget to add a wreath and plenty of greenery to complete this perfect holiday look.

Get Crafty

No garland? No problem! You can spruce up your mantle with things you already have. Collect all of your holiday trinkets and a few tree ornaments and put them on the mantel for an easy, DIY way to decorate. Complete the look with an embroidered picture hanging above. Voila! An inexpensive and crafty way to get into the holidays. 

Bring the Outdoors In

Instead of hanging stockings from your mantle this year, try a mix of beautiful greenery. Draping princess pine, eucalyptus, a variety of evergreens, and vines with a few lotus pods gives you a clean and simple holiday look that also has the benefit of purifying the air and helping you relax! 

Light it Up

No matter which holiday you celebrate, covering your mantle with strings of light is a stunning style. You can even fill clear jars and vases with your lights to add extra pizazz. Mix your lights in with some branches and pine cones for one bright and beautiful holiday mantle!

With these five tips, you can achieve your dream aesthetic and get into the holiday spirit without breaking the bank. For more incredible interior design ideas, don’t forget to read the Falconcrest Homes’ blog.
