Stunning Christmas Mantel Styling Ideas for a Magical Living Room

A magical mantel is usually a quiet one. Greenery does the work. Everything else is a repeat of the same two colours.

Greenery first

One garland, real or felt. Let it droop slightly. A ruler-straight line looks pinned.

Candles

Three heights, unlit when you are not in the room.

Stockings

Hang them at the same height. Mix sizes only if the hooks are already uneven.

Leave a gap

An empty stretch of mantel is what makes the rest look chosen.
