With Christmas closer than you think, it’s time you gave some thought to your Christmas decor in Dallas, TX. The lights on the outside of your home and your tree inside are two of the things that probably stay the same year after year; but there’s one focal point of your home that you can have fun decorating differently for every season every year – your mantel. Whether you have one fireplace or more scattered throughout your home, a mantel gives you the opportunity to make a big decorating splash without a lot of fuss. When you get ready to head out to do your shopping for Christmas decor in Dallas, TX, keep these mantel decorating ideas in mind:✦ Simple But Refined
If you’d like to keep your mantel decorating simple but you want it to look tasteful, start by draping your favorite strand of garland down the center. Nestle two hurricane lamps, one on each end, into the garland and hang your stockings above the hearth with hooks that are concealed under the garland. For an elegant touch, add hanging, metal initials to each stocking’s hook.
✦ Sophisticated And Natural
A sophisticated mantel is one that doesn’t look like a typical Christmas mantel. Try using a garland of feathery cedar, which has a softer look than traditional garland, and a variety of sizes of pinecones nestled into the garland along with lemons and oranges for a splash of color and scent. Finally, add white and green fresh flowers, like paperwhites and amaryllis, in terracotta containers.
✦ Vintage And Whimsical
Think 1950s for your vintage mantel and sprinkle artificial snow instead of heavy garland on your mantel. Add some tinted mason jars filled with sparkling ornaments and retro or antique Christmas figurines like reindeers, snowmen and bottlebrush trees. The final touch can be a vintage ‘Merry Christmas’ garland hung above the mantel.
✦ Personal And Colorful
Drape your favorite evergreen garland over the mantel and anchor it at each end with red carnations in silver cups. For the rest of the decor, use family holiday photos in silver frames and Christmas cards you’ve received from friends and family. If your children have favorite holiday toys, they can add them to the mantel decor to get the whole family involved.
