Christmas Mantel Inspiration
Every single year, I try and decorate my Christmas mantel a little different than the year before... not because I didn't like it, but because I love CHANGE.
I love to change up areas in my home to look different year after year... I love playing with new ideas, new techniques, and just seeing what I can come up with to help inspire y'all!
One way that I figure out what I'm going to do, is by looking at inspiration pictures from other people's homes... and I figured most of you were like this, too! So... today, I'm combining a list of my FAVORITE mantels that are inspiring me to decorate for this Christmas!
This might not be everyone's cup of. tea, but I LOVE it. I love that she gave it a theme- and went full force with it!
I also love that she used 3 large pictures on top, and layered them... as well as the candles inside the fireplace!
Green, red, and black... what sounds more Christmas than that?!?! The symmetry on the mantel is really speaking to me!
If all these pops of color don't scream Brooke... then IDK what does!!!
I am OBSESSED with this non-traditional mantel. It just makes me.so happy to look at!
Well well well.... of course I had to add in my own mantel! As you can see, I'm pretty traditional when it comes to Christmas... but I love being "over the top" and not very minimal!
For those of you who have a TV over your mantel... this is for you! There's just enough balance, and still looks SUPER festive!
I know I have some buffalo check lovers here! This is a great way to incorporate this print into your mantel, without going overboard!
You want to know the first thing that comes to my mind when I see this mantel? COZY!
The drooping greenery, the mix-matched candles, the glow of the lights... puts me in the Christmas spirit!
What I love about this mantel, is the emphasis on the garland. My eye goes straight to it- and I LOVE how it has a beaded garland mixed in with it.
I'm a sucker for black and white... so this mantel is right up my alley! I thought it was so fun that she added the garland to only half of the mantel, and the stockings on the other half... very unique and cute!
Last but not least... one more of my own! LOL.
I loved this mantel from 2019. It was the first time decorating it since we moved in!!! I kept it pretty simple!
There is no way you can leave this post without being inspired!!! It’s only July…. but looking through all these photos makes me want to decorate RIGHT NOW! 😂
BE SURE TO PIN!
