START WITH A GARLAND.

A garland is the perfect base for your mantle! Again, West Elm has some GREAT options here, a few of which are on sale as a pre-black friday promotion. From faux Cedar to Eucalyptus and Berries, they have some superrrrr cute choices.

STOCKINGS & STOCKING HOLDERS

If you’re like me, you have old family stockings that were knitted by grandmothers or great grandmothers or passed down between generations. BUT, they might not exactly *vibe* with your decor! Plus, you want to be sure they last for a lifetime and don’t get too messed up from year to year. SO, my solution was to buy some pretty white stockings with fun stocking holders, to go with my holiday decor style that were affordable and chic. And no need to worry about hooks on your fireplace, stocking holders are an adorable addition to your Christmas mantle.

ACCENT PIECES

Think mini Christmas trees, silver deer, and holiday houses. To make things easy, you can shop Crate & Barrel’s carefully curated mantles seen above directly here. Choosing your accessories can help to show your home-style vibe and whether you are going for minimal or traditional, there are all kinds of great options to mix and match if you want to create your own custom Christmas mantle.

CANDLES

Yep, candles again! Candles for everything! The finishing touch to put on your mantle comes in the form of candles of all shapes and sizes. Create dimension with tall candles, different textures and scents. Different colors, mercury glass and more.
