Hang A Wreath And A Garland
A garland is the most popular mantel decoration: it’s affordable, DIYable and sets up a mood. It can be an evergreen or a faux evergreen garland with lights and pinecones or with elegant bows. If you can’t find a proper garland at the stores, make some yourself and add a proper wreath in the same style to hang over the fireplace. You can also make a pinecone or ornament garland and wreath if you like them.

Add Stockings
Stockings are traditional for fireplaces, they have been hung there for centuries, and now it’s time to have the tradition back! After placing signs, attaching wreaths and garlands you can hang stockings right on the fireplace. Play with textures and colors of the stockings: they may be burlap, knit, crochet, red, plaid, neutral or any other. The stockings can be the same or mismatching, and you can also fill them with gifts or nuts.
