Easy Christmas Fireplace Decor Ideas
Recycled Sweaters
This is a great way to repurpose old sweaters, especially old, ugly Christmas sweaters. A budget-friendly, eco-friendly idea!
Traditional Colours
Traditional red and green never go out of style. Just add some ornaments, ribbon and pine garland and trees.
All White Elegance
An antique-style fireplace painted white looks elegant, dressed in soft whites in different textures and tones. Start with a flocked pine garland and build up layers of white ornaments. Don’t forget the stockings.
A Forest of Trees
Fill the mantle with ornaments, trees or different colours and sizes. Add coordinating coloured stockings and finish the look off with a pine garland with lights.
A Meadow of Snowmen
Jolly Snowmen sitting on a bed of snow will always bring a smile to your face. They are loved by both young and old.
Gingerbread Display
Gather some talented friends or family for a gingerbread bakeoff and then display these lovely-smelling houses on your mantle. The gingerbread house can be as simple or detailed as you want. Don’t forget the gingerbread stockings or add a simple gingerbread garland.
Elves Behaving Badly!
Get the elf off the shelf and onto your mantle or use any bendable legged elf. These cute little fellas are a fantastic Christmas tradition. For fun, after a party, let each child take one home. That will be a party they will never forget! Finish the look with a chalkboard and matching stocklings.
Cool Blue and Silver Accents
Nothing says winter more than the cool hues of blue and silver. Add silver glitter reindeer, loads of ornaments on a garland and finish it off with a matching wreath and stockings.
Light it up with Candles
Fill the mantle with candles of varying sizes and some glitter reindeer. Add a pine garland with twinkle lights and finish it off with some white stockings.
Nativity Scene Focal Point
Highlight the true meaning of Christmas with this Christ-centred Nativity Scene. Add some garland as a backdrop and you have a scene to behold. Want to get creative? Make your own recycled wood block Nativity Set!
Just a little Santa
Add a picture of a Jolly Santa above the mantle for a simple Christmas look. A simple garland with fairy lights and a few candles completes the look.
Pretty in Pink
Make a monochromatic look with your favourite colour. This pretty in pink fireplace uses all pink in layers and stockings. Don’t forget the coordinating wrapping paper.

Sometimes a corner fireplace can make decorating difficult, but this corner fireplace is ready for winter. Doesn’t it look inviting?

This offset modern fireplace looks elegant with a simple string of wired fairy lights, some ornaments and a couple of rattan trees. This is a great solution when you dont have a lot of storage space.
All Natural Look
Some simple dried oranges and gingerbread sticks not only add aroma but give you a great, all-natural look. Use slweater socks in place of stockings and wrap gifts in craft paper to complete the look.
Go Retro
Hit the thrift shops or buy your favourite retro-themed decor pieces. What a great way to show off family heirloom ornaments.
A Baroque Beauty
If you are lucky enough to have a Victorian-style fireplace, add some Baroque-style decorations to show it off. Include beads, candles and stockings in rich reds and greens.

Brush trees in pastel colours standing next to glitter reindeer and surrounded by a flocked garland, give this mantle a relaxing stress stress-free feel. Finish it off with soft pastel stockings.
Buffalo Plaid Christmas
Add accents in buffalo plaid for a farmhouse look and feel. Cover a recycled frame in plaid fabric and add a reindeer picture, and then coordinate with wrapping paper, ribbons and stockings to finish off the look.
Gnome for the Holidays
Line up a family of gnomes on your mantle surrounded by flocked Garland. This is simple and whimsical. Better yet, make your own Gnomes and show them off above the fireplace.
A Wonderful Woodstove
Just because you have a woodstove soent mean you can show it off. Add a garland to an overhead shelf and a tress skirt around the base. Make sure garland or decor is not placed where it would be a fire hazard.
