Fresh Christmas Mantel Decorating Ideas
Make Your Fireplace Pop This Holiday Season

I’ve always believed that fireplaces are the main focal point of the home when it comes to the holidays — I mean that’s where Santa arrives with his sack full of presents, right?! This year, I wanted to create a unique setting around the fireplace, so I opted to save the traditional red stockings for next year. If you follow along on my Instagram, you know that I love simplicity, which carried over to my holiday decor. Our new home has a variety of citrus trees in the backyard (kumquat, grapefruit and lemon trees) so I wanted to incorporate these elements into my design.
I love all of the fresh wreaths and garland that World Market has to offer. I used their Magnolia wreath and garlands on our Thanksgiving Front Door — so I went back to World Market to find a wreath that ties in to this look. I fell in love with the simplicity + fullness of their live olive and eucalyptus garland. I prefer live garlands for the holidays because they’re so versatile. You can put in on your fireplace mantel, use it to create a wreath, or place it on your table as the runner! I also pick some of the greenery off the garland to garnish the Turkey, or even to add some holiday cheer to my gift wrapping! In addition, citrus elements are a wonderful way to add a pop of color and bring your decorations to life when you’re hosting a party.
I’m so glad that I invested in several of their glass lanterns, because I use them for almost every season (including filling them with pumpkins for Halloween). For Thanksgiving, I filled them with a mix of the kumquats, lemons and snippets of eucalyptus leaves. It’s always wise to invest in essentials that you can use every season!
Lastly, I wrote ‘Let it Snow’ on a fun chalkboard that’s framed in a gray stain wood. It added just the right touch of winter to this look. If you want to add more texture — try planting some greenery in copper accents, such as this copper bucket!
I’d love to see how you style your fireplace mantel with your World Market goodies! Take a picture and tag @LavinLabel, and make sure to use the hashtag #WorldMarket.
