The mantelpiece or fireplace surround really comes into its own over the holiday season. It is the perfect surface to add a decorative festive flourish – and can become the star of the show in an instant. We'd go as far as to say that a beautifully decorated Christmas mantel can even rival the Christmas tree.
The mantle is also a nice place to start with your Christmas decor ideas. You can start giving it a festive feel as soon as Thanksgiving is over bringing in touches of seasonal foliage, velvet ribbons, and oversized stockings just to nod to the upcoming holidays.
