If you are lucky enough to have a beautiful feature like a fireplace in your home, you probably put a lot of thought into decorations and have created some lovely displays. However, if you've been using the same decor for a few years, why not shake things up a bit this year with some new and exciting Christmas decorating ideas?
A charming miniature village scene is one way to dress up a mantel. To make the scene really stand out, try placing a big mirror or a grouping of smaller mirrors across the mantel and then position the little houses, figurines and accessories in front of the reflective surface. The village will look much larger and more impressive, since it will be echoed in the reflection.
Holiday collectibles are also a great way to add some excitement and interest to your mantel. While one miniature tree is easy to overlook, a group of 10 to 20 little trees in different shapes, sizes and colors make a big statement. Christmas bears, Santa figurines, angel tree toppers, or candles all are good choices for a collectible themed mantel display. |
