The fireplace mantel offers one of the most popular Christmas décor canvases in the home. There is nothing quite like a beautifully decorated mantel set above a crackling fire to add a festive warmth to a room. Popular decorative elements include garlands, ribbons, candles and stockings. We're in love with the mantels shared below, we hope they inspire a few Christmas mantel décor ideas of your own.

Sometimes simplicity makes the biggest impact. This Christmas mantel is dressed with common martini glasses with an inset of ornament and rose surrounded by petite votives and draped with a garland of traditional mistletoe.

This gorgeously stunning mantel décor pulls colors from the room into the heavily laden garland full of pine cones, ribbons, mirrored balls, trailing vines and golden leaves.

A contemporary mantel gets dressed with a simple silver wreath flanked by two stark Christmas trees.

From the red stockings to the pine garland to the classic scrollwork fireplace screen, everything about this lovely scene captures the magic of Christmas tradition.
