If you have a fireplace in your house, then you’re in luck – because the mantelpiece of a fireplace is a festive favourite amongst many. This is because Santa Claus is supposed to be coming down a chimney – so once your Christmas tree is fully sparkling, a well decorated mantel can perfectly set off your existing Christmas efforts. Fireplace garlands and a mixture of natural greenery and glittering metallic ornaments really sets the tone for Christmas. You can also hang some stockings and Christmas cards along the top.
Get creative and craft rag garlands and card strings to decorate the perfect fireplace.
The festival of Christmas is not just about getting and giving presents and dressing up. Decorating your home is also fun and gets everyone in the mood for Christmas. You don’t need to repaint your house and start buying tons of furniture for Christmas, but you can upgrade an item or two to bring the whole living room or dining room together. If you don’t want to spend too much money on decorating, then buy some fairy lights. Use warm honey toned fairy lights, or bauble lights to give your room a sophisticated feel. The illuminations, be it, candles, fairy lights, lanterns or lamps, will bring your home a festive ambience. Your furniture will look instantly festive with a bit of fairy lighting. Put fairy lights up around your bookshelves, door arches, bannisters and window frames.

Go for evergreen foliage, including ivy, holly, and myrtle, combined with artificial berried sprays, pussy willow and hellebores. Using a combination like this means it becomes very hard to spot the artificial foundations.
