Simple & Classic Christmas Fireplaces

Christmas is quickly approaching and I’m gearing up for my holiday decor! I’m trying to figure out what kind of vibe I want this year. Most likely I’ll go for a simple and classic Christmas look, because I’m really loving clean and simple decor these days. That might mean something different to each person, so let me explain it a little more. I want my home to feel like a cabin in the woods in the middle of winter. Ha! There will be lots of natural elements like greenery and wood with some white and gold colors mixed in. See, that’s obviously a classic Christmas vibe.

Besides a Christmas tree, your fireplace mantel, if you have one, is a awesome place to decorate for Christmas. A simple and classic Christmas fireplace mantel can create a major focal point in a room. It also can last longer than a very Christmassy look, and this mama is all about double duty decorating! By all means, do whatever makes you happy, I’m just saying that this is what makes me happy! It also makes me feel less stressed about all of the stuff I need to put back!

Take a look at these Christmas fireplace mantels. They are all considered simple and classic in my opinion. That is because they follow a few simple standards!

I love how the twinkle lights were added to this garland to give it a bit of whimsy!

This garland that Sarah, from Room for Tuesdays hung is AMAZING! It is so plush and makes for quite a dramatic mantel.

Jen, from The Chronicles of Home, added some beautiful wooden elements as well as some pops of gold!

These vintage looking brass candlestick holders paired with the unique garland seen in this image, make for such an elegant mantel. It makes you feel like you are staring at a scene out of a movie!

The garland, candles, and cozy stockings that Kristen, from Ella Claire Inspired combined with the huge speckled mirror creates a classic vintage Christmas vibe.

I am totally digging the asymmetry of this beautiful mantel styled by Shelley, from Crazy Wonderful. The black candles in the brass candlestick holders plays off of the buffalo check stockings so nicely!

Each of these Christmas fireplace mantels have tons of style, all while using minimal pieces. I LOVE that about them. The natural elements, as well as, the use of monochromatic colors just screams classic Christmas to me! I hope you find some inspiration in these images when trying to decide on your Christmas style this year and proves that you do not need a ton of decor to create a simple and classic Christmas fireplace mantel!
