“And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care…” There is nothing quite like a decorated mantel at Christmastime! The mantel is one of my favorite things in my home to style and decorate each season, and it brings ALL the cozy vibes at Christmas. So grab some hot cocoa and nestle in a blanket while I show you my Christmas mantel!
Front and center this year is a fabulous red berry wreath! Red berry wreaths are classic and will never go out of style! I love how the bold red really packs a punch on the neutral wood and brick background.
The gold mirror with intricate details was a score from Decor Steals. It’s the perfect size for layering, and this distressed Santa picture looks fabulous with it! The Santa picture was purchased from Decor Steals as well, but unfortunately, he is sold out! Boo!
What mantel is complete without personalized stockings? These beautiful red and ivory stockings complement each other so well without matching too much.
The stocking name tags were a DIY, and you can find my tutorial HERE!
How amazing are these oversized wooden finial ornaments? I am obsessed with them! They provide a perfect balance of symmetry on the mantel, and the gold brushed accents really tie in well with everything! I found the ornaments at Beall’s Outlet!
Y’all know I love to decorate with cute nutcrackers, and this one from Cracker Barrel is precious!!!
The large nutcracker was another amazing find from Beall’s Outlet. Let me tell you, Beall’s has some of the BEST Christmas decorations at incredible prices! This nutcracker is the perfect height to stand beside the fireplace.
I am so excited to celebrate Christmas this year and fill my home with family and friends! I hope you have enjoyed this peek at my Christmas mantel! For more mantel decorating inspiration, click HERE!
Be sure to pin my mantel on Pinterest and SHARE WITH A FRIEND!
