The fireplace has always been the heart of the holiday home, and the mantle is where the magic really happens. Whether you prefer layers of fresh greenery with berries and blooms, or a moodier mix of florals and metallics, a styled mantle instantly makes the whole room feel festive. These two holiday looks show just how versatile the mantle can be: elegant, inviting, and full of Christmas cheer.
