I cleaned out all the previous debris and painted the smoke-stained, broken bricks 🤍white🤍 to modernize the whole thing. I also brought the white paint up to the ceiling above the mantle to give it more depth. To decorate for the holidays, I picked out cute little houses in both white ceramic and black metal. I added different trees as well as little lights to make it look like a tiny little cozy, glowing town 😌 Inside of the fireplace I realllly love the black metal candle holders with the white tapered pilar candles because they are so classic. They are thin and tall which allows me to utilize the height of the fireplace opening well. With those, I placed these cute Christmas tree tea-light candle holders that are also black metal. Decorating Tips: - carry through color schemes and finishes (metals, acrylic, ceramic) around your full design, not just concentrated in one area or one piece of decor. - SYMMETRY! Scatter taller and shorter decor pieces strategically to make your design more balanced. I find it helpful to step back and analyze colors and textures periodically making minor adjustments throughout the process My favorite thing about my mantle decor this year is how clean and simple it looks during the day when drenched in natural light, and how warm and cozy it is in the evening. The candles and lights give off a warm glow like that of a gorgeous fire. I love how the light reflects so nicely off the black tile on the floor 🥰 Christmas decor this year in my house is about to go craaazyyy. I’m talking white, black, and silver winter wonderland 🌬❄️☃️🤍 I can’t wait to show you guys my insane tree 🤩
