The fireplace is an important focal point when decorating for the Christmas season. A grand piece of real estate that you should not ignore. It might be a little challenging but worth the time and effort.
If you are lucky enough to have a fireplace mantel in your home it would be worth your while to utilize it and show it off. Below are a few steps you can use to successfully decorate your mantel for Christmas.
Steps To Decorate Your Fireplace Mantel:
- Place an anchor piece above the mantel to ground the whole look. (e.g a large mirror or painting).
- Use large decorative pieces as small objects will make the mantel seem cluttered. Usually around 3-5 objects.
- Apply symmetry - whatever object you place on the left will be placed on the right.
- Decorate with garland or stockings in the same color scheme as your Christmas tree.
- Add lights to your finished project if desired.
