Christmas Mantle Decked in Ornaments

If you're looking to add a pop of color to your mantle this Christmas season, you'll love how A Pretty Life in the Suburbs decorated her Christmas mantle. We're big fans of DIY Christmas ornament wreaths, but Jo-Anna took it once step further and incorporate a Christmas garland to match.

While working with so many colors could cause decorating chaos, Jo-Anna's choice to stick with basic white twinkle lights, to anchor the entire look with a thick green garland and to keep additional embellishments to a minimum, brought the whole Christmas look together perfectly.

Instead of taking traditional route this Christmas season and decorating with the usual gold, red and green tones, switch it up and give this colorful ornament design a try!

And what about those mason jars!

Rounding out the look with rustic white tree branches and other silver, blue and white décor items, this mantle captures the whimsy white Christmas feel perfectly - all while keeping our top repurposing tips in mind!

Go Coastal for Christmas

On the opposite end of the spectrum from a white Christmas is a coastal one. If you live near the beach, or long for those beach days, capture it in your Christmas mantle with this beachy Christmas décor idea we discovered over at Beach Comber 26.

The clever mix of hydrangeas, shells, white candles and a DIY banner capture the peace and joy of the holiday season perfectly.

A More Modern Christmas Mantle Idea

Sometimes keeping it simple really is the better idea. Rather than rid the mantle of it's evergreen piece of art, this last Christmas mantle idea we found over at Apartment Therapy keeps it front and center.

While on its own the artwork doesn't shout "Merry Christmas," once the inexpensive, yet totally festive Christmas trees and NOEL sign are staged beneath it, it becomes the perfect entry for Santa.
