How to Create the Perfect Christmas Mantel Decor

As we enter the holiday season, it's time to start thinking about decorating our homes for Christmas. One of the most important spaces to decorate is the fireplace mantel — it serves as a focal point in any room and adds a warm, festive touch to your home. We've rounded up some tips and ideas to help you create the perfect Christmas mantel decor at Big Lots.

Mix and Match Different Mantel Decorations

To make your Christmas mantel stand out, mix and match different elements such as stockings, wreaths, garlands, and candles. Big Lots offers a wide range of Christmas home decor items that can be easily combined to create a unique holiday display. Don't be afraid to play with different textures and heights — this will add depth and interest to your mantel.

Focus on the Mantel's Centerpiece

The centerpiece is the main attraction of any Christmas mantel decor. Consider using a large Christmas wreath, a festive sign, or even a family of nutcracker figurines. This could also be where you incorporate your chosen theme. For example, a snowman figurine for a winter wonderland theme.

Don't Forget About the Stockings

Christmas stockings are a must-have on any Christmas mantel. Big Lots offers a variety of options, from classic red and green to more modern designs. Hang them with care and add personalized monogrammed stockings with your family's initials on them.

Fill in the Gaps

Once you have your main pieces in place, don't forget to fill in the gaps. Add some smaller items like candles, bells, or snowglobes to balance out the festive display. You can also incorporate Christmas string lights for a cozy and festive glow.
