Styling a Holiday Mantel
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – and nowhere is that more apparent than in your home’s impressive display of holiday décor. From the beautifully trimmed trees to the carefully placed Christmas villages, the holidays are a time to really show out!
We’d like to give you some design tips for decorating for the holidays this year with one spot in particular - your fireplace mantel!
Symmetry is key! Try mirroring or balancing the weight of décor on either side of the fireplace and mantel.
2. Overlap artwork and pieces. The key here is layering pieces of varying size. This adds depth to the space.
3. Mix in non-holiday pieces. Add items that you already have such as lanterns and candles. These help keep the space looking effortless and ties the décor into the rest of your home’s more permanent décor.
4. Fill your fireplace with more than just logs. If you are like most southern families who don’t always use your fireplace in this warm climate, you can add a lovely stack of candles or some other touch of décor for a nice feature!
