So whether you plan to host a grand holiday party or spend the season cozying up next to your fireplaces with loved ones, there’s a Christmas mantle decor idea below that’s perfect for you!

porcelain village

What could be better than a porcelain village set for that classic holiday cheer? Pair these traditional pieces with vintage books, candlesticks, and pine garland for a simple yet stunning aesthetic.

classy christmas decor

Fir garland, tall candlesticks, golden reindeer, and knit stockings are all perfect for timeless, elegant Christmas mantle decor.

We also love the ballet painting for a subtle Nutcracker vibe, and you can even create a backdrop like this with TV using the trendy art cover hack.

white doves & silver accents

White doves and silver ornaments pop so well against a lush green garland. This is ideal for an effortless, neutral setup that still stands out.

Simple sophistication

A snowy landscape painting is a stunning backdrop behind this mantle; it easily lends a seasonal vibe to the space. And the rich greenery, velvet ribbons, and elegant candlesticks are small details that elevate the decor and make it Christmas-ready!

classic & cozy

Dried oranges with pinecones, fir, and golden bells have a classic, cozy, and rustic aesthetic that we adore! Plus, this Christmas mantle decor is easy to DIY if you prefer a more hands-on approach to your festive furnishings.

vintage charm

We love the unique beauty of vintage decor! To create a similar look to the mantle above, combine lavish gold mirrors, an antique horse accent, plaid details, and timeless red and green decor.

rustic accents

Pinecones, cozy brown knit stockings, and earthy plaid bows come together for a homemade and rustic vibe we’re obsessed with! Pair these elements with snowy pine accents for a pop of brightness that fits into the holiday aesthetic perfectly.

metallics & stripes

For a chic and elevated appeal, we recommend pairing classy striped accents with metallic winter decor. Golden ornaments and silver leaves create a striking aesthetic, while the neutral stripes and furnishings add balance to the space.

natural beauty

Embrace the beauty of natural decor and elements through miniature wooden trees, rugged stone vases, bare branches, and pine with berries. We love the contrast between the decor and this home’s sleek, modern aesthetic, creating an elevated yet alluring look.

silver baubles & golden lanterns

Rich green garlands and velvet stockings create a moody holiday look that we love. And these dark hues look stunning when paired with sparkling silver ornaments and warm golden lanterns. These additions add a unique touch to traditional Christmas fireplace decor.

snow & pops of navy

We adore blue tones in Christmas decorations – they’re elegant and a nice change from the classic greens and reds.

These navy accents look so gorgeous against a snowy landscape and creamy boucle stockings, though you can opt for navy ornaments for a similar aesthetic.

farmhouse decor

Rustic trees, garland, and other decor are perfect for a country-inspired home. Opt for pieces and furnishings made from natural materials and in natural tones to achieve this aesthetic.

ivory glow

You can easily put together a bright, crisp look with all ivory pieces like in the photo above. Add pine accents for a touch of Christmas color and allow the glow of the ivory candles to create a warmth that’s perfect for winter.

eucalyptus & twinkling lights

While we love the classic look of fir and pine, eucalyptus is just as stunning and creates a unique touch in this Christmas mantle decor. Coupled with twinkling lights, these elements are ideal for a modern, whimsical holiday vibe.

vintage bells & red ribbons

We think vintage bells are a stunning addition to Christmas decorations, and the velvety red ribbons are so bright and beautiful. These old-fashioned details easily elevate the aesthetic, creating an effortless charm.

bohemian flair

Brown and beige tones, paired with wooden bead garland, minimalist modern art, and wicker basket accents, are a must for adding a subtle bohemian flair to your Christmas fireplace decor.

berries & pine

Berries, bell-shaped florals, and dusty pink ribbons are gorgeous together. We adore the simple, whimsical aesthetic and recommend this decor idea for someone who prefers a colorful Christmas look that’s still sophisticated.

a traditional touch

Classic Christmas decor, like the red plaid bows, golden lights, and pine accents, is perfect for those who want a minimal, timeless aesthetic that adds a simple beauty and warmth to the space.

warm brass tones

Brass tones are a beautiful alternative to the standard gold and silver accents – they’re warm and inviting and add a layer of luxury to this Christmas decor. It’s also an excellent way to add metallic tones while working with an earthy palette.

evergreen elegance

A small, vibrant green tree, soft green stockings, and a sophisticated green painting create a cohesive look while adding a holiday appeal to this bright mantle and hearth.

We love this aesthetic and suggest choosing various shades of one color for a refined, monochromatic look like this. The green is stunning here, though red or blue would also work.
