Merry Mantles: Christmas Fireplace Designs That Make a Statement
There’s something magical about gathering around a glowing fireplace during the holiday season—and when it’s beautifully styled, it becomes the heart of the home. At Baker Design Group, we specialize in custom Christmas decorating across Dallas, and that includes mantles of all shapes and styles. Whether you love a lush garland or prefer a more sculptural look, these five mantle designs showcase different ways we bring seasonal charm and designer flair to any space.
1. The Classic Christmas Garland — Full, Festive, and Timeless
There’s a reason the traditional garland never goes out of style. This look features a full evergreen mantle wrap embellished with classic red florals, shimmering ornaments, and playful ribbon, all set against a bold backdrop. Paired with abstract artwork and modern seating, it’s the perfect blend of nostalgic holiday charm and high-end design. This style fits seamlessly into both updated and classic interiors.
2. Minimal & Natural — An Elegant Take on Greener
Sometimes less really is more. This refined Dallas mantle showcases a natural evergreen garland filled with delicate white berries and eucalyptus sprigs. Stockings in warm neutrals hang below while soft golden trees and reindeer add a subtle shimmer. This organic holiday look brings in seasonal beauty without overwhelming the space—ideal for those who lean toward Scandinavian or transitional design aesthetics.
3. No Garland? No Problem — Sculptural Florals Take Center Stage
Not every mantle needs garland to make a statement. In this contemporary Dallas home, dramatic floral arrangements with pine sprigs, icy blue ornaments, and golden accents frame the fireplace. Sculptural golden trees center the mantle, echoing the client’s desire for elegance with a modern twist. This style works beautifully in spaces with clean lines or where garland may feel too heavy.
4. Fully Dressed — Garland, Décor & All the Details
For clients who want a fully immersive look, we go all in. This festive mantle is brimming with a thick, lush garland of greenery, berries, ornaments, and ribbons—paired with an entire ensemble of nutcrackers and a striking coordinating wreath. This design is full of character, color, and whimsy, making it a joyful and dramatic focal point of any Christmas room.
5. Dramatic Draping — Garland that Spills with Style
For our boldest clients, we love going big. This sophisticated setup features a dramatic garland that sweeps across the mantle and drapes elegantly to the floor. With oversized ornaments, velvet ribbon, and built-in lighting, it transforms the fireplace into a luxe holiday focal point. Paired with gold-trimmed chairs and symmetrical mirrors, this look exudes high-end holiday glam—and makes a stunning addition to your list of Christmas mantle decorating ideas.
