Is there anything more festive than sitting in front of a blazing WillowWarm fire decorated head to toe with festive decor?
If you happen to have a mantelpiece that is looking a bit bare, why not make the most of it with our top tips for styling your mantelpiece? From garlands and fairy lights to stockings and ornaments, here are five different decor ideas to style your fireplace for Christmas.
1. Cosy Village Scene
Bring the charm of a festive town square into your living room. Decorate your mantel with miniature Christmas village houses, tiny lampposts, and snow-dusted figurines. Add a sprinkle of faux snow along the base and weave warm white fairy lights through the scene to mimic glowing streetlights. For extra magic, include a small train set or a skating rink figurine, perfect for creating that nostalgic, storybook feel.

2. Classic Colours
It’s hard for traditional to ever go out of style. Drape a garland with baubles across your mantel and pair it with a matching wreath. Hang red stockings and add brass candlesticks for a warm, festive glow.
3. Festive Foliage
Appealing to more than just your eyes; incorporate real pine branches, acorns and holly into your Christmas display to create a beautiful festive scent and an eye-catching centrepiece.
4. Cosy Christmas Lights
If the fire’s glow isn’t enough, add extra sparkle! Choose fairy lights in warm white or multicoloured and drape them across the mantel, around the base, and even inside a decorative fireplace. If you are seeking an extra sparkle, why not try using “Cluster LED” styled Christmas lights that have a unique twinkle?
5. Festive Florals
A popular trend for 2025, have you seen people adding baby’s breath flowers inside their Christmas trees? Inspired by this Christmas tree trend, why not incorporate elegant white pops to your mantel piece using fresh or dried baby’s breath flowers for even more frosty elegance?
Your fireplace is often the most eye-catching part of your home during the winter season, setting the tone for the rest of the house. Choose a theme that speaks to you, and don’t forget to stock up on WillowWarm carbon-neutral briquettes to make your festive fireplace even cosier.
