Decorate your Stone Fireplace Mantel

The holidays are right around the corner, and decorations are already popping up.  If you are looking for a new idea of how to decorate your stone fireplace mantel, here are some ideas for you.

Fresh pomegranates pop against a fragrant evergreen garland and a row of mini conifers. Sprigs of red crystals tucked into the evergreens repeat the color of the pomegranates on a smaller scale and add some sparkle.

Look to your furnishings to determine the color of your decorations.  You always need that little shine, but you should take hues from the main colors in the room.  Red and coral-tone furnishings can provide the foundation for your color scheme. On your stone fireplace mantel, the red and coral tones of rug and upholstery translate into fresh pomegranates that stand out against a fresh evergreen garland and a row of mini conifers.

Bring the colors and materials of Christmas decorations from your stone fireplace mantel into the room with accents and arrangements on tables and other surfaces. On an ottoman, lay a sleek, square, gold-tone tray with a simple arrangement of juniper sprigs, gold mercury glass ornaments, and a coral bow.

Your stone fireplace mantel is the room’s natural focal point, so it's the best place to bring together the key elements of the Christmas decorating scheme. Use silver ornaments and antiqued gold glass pots to set the metallic theme. Poinsettias and fresh greenery underscore the natural, theme in this room.

Mercury glass ornaments of different shapes and sizes mix with simple shiny balls. Their aged effect ties the ornaments into a formal look.  Play opposites against one another and textures against one another so you have a lot of matte and shimmer.

By purchasing a stone fireplace mantel from Design the Space, you ensure that you have a beautiful starting point for your Christmas decorating.
