When you are lucky enough to be able to enjoy a beautiful fireplace at home, you owe it to yourself to pamper your decor all year round and especially when the holiday season looms: it then adorns itself in its finest finery.
Symbol of Christmas, the fireplace is one of our top decorations. You have no idea how to decorate it? Take advantage of our inspirations!
1. A luminous decoration
We won’t hide it: with the night falling from 4:30 p.m., Christmas is the perfect excuse to have lights in all forms everywhere at home and thus fill our lack of sunshine. Your fireplace will not be outdone and can be dressed in a pretty LED garland accompanied by emblematic Christmas light characters, such as a reindeer or an angel for example.
2. A vegetal decoration
You have only one obsession when you decorate your interior for the holidays, and it is of an olfactory nature: you want a good smell of fir in the whole house, until the end of the month of December! So do not limit yourself to a single Christmas tree and also hang one or more decorated fir branches on the edge of the fireplace as well as a beautiful natural Christmas wreath that will sit upright as here.
3. A childish decor
We obviously also think of children for the decoration of our fireplace at Christmas because it is often one of their favorite moments of the year. We can thus place a few figurines on the edge like the inevitable Santa Claus or a handsome wooden soldier, and even, why not, a garland of (fake) gingerbread men, mischievous. Your little elf will also appreciate being responsible for the Advent calendar placed on the fireplace, and opening a box each day or moving Santa Claus like here.
4. A traditional decor
To continue in a rather traditional vein for your fireplace at Christmas, bet on the essential decorative elements of this holiday season such as holly and fir branches, pine cones, Christmas balls, red candles, but also the essential Christmas sock hung on the fireplace or on the side for more security.
5. A refined decor
But you also have the right to prefer a Christmas decoration that does not overdo it, by simply placing a few festive objects on your fireplace, such as a ceramic tree , a vegetable Christmas wreath, all highlighted by a delicate light garland and unfussy white candle holders.
6. A refined and simple style
While most of us love the exuberance of Christmas decorations, some prefer a more refined and simple approach. This brings us to this idea of having simple touches suggesting this time of year. The fireplace is perfect for this. Add neutral hues with a hint of red to highlight your fireplace; all in a more relaxed way.
7. Stay natural
As noted above, many appreciate a simpler touch to their Christmas decoration. Therefore, what better way to do this than to keep your decor natural and vibrant. So, to do this, use a green reef or a garland as the main base and add neutral elements that will enhance your decor.
8. A hint of magic
Who doesn’t love a whimsical approach to their Christmas decoration? I recommend adding faux snow and working with shades of white, silver, and blue to get that pop of color that pairs beautifully.
9. Classic decoration
Why run away from classic shades to decorate your fireplace at Christmas if that’s what you like. Mix up your favorite Christmas decorations with rich hues of red, green, and white. Also add tables, photos for a more personal note.
10. Excess decoration
Yes, you read that right! To decorate your fireplace at Christmas you can let go and opt for disproportionate elements. In short, what you will not necessarily be able to do the rest of the year to decorate your home. Be careful, however, to vary the sizes of the different objects you are going to use.
11. Rustic decoration
Almost all of us love the charm of beautiful rustic decor. To create a rustic Christmas decoration on your fireplace, it is essential to have wooden elements that bring dynamism and uniqueness to your decor. Otherwise, you will be left with a multitude of decorative objects without any meaning.
12. Red fireplace decoration
Don’t forget the red! Red is essential to any party decor. In fact, it is one of the most important colors for Christmas. Add bold pops of red as the main theme or to complement another theme.
13. White fireplace decoration
White is a prime candidate for decorating your fireplace at Christmas. Why? Because it is easy to combine this color with its existing decoration. Consider adding elements, metallic silver accents.
14. Sophistication
When in doubt, choose sophistication. It’s a win-win choice. You will have a decoration that catches the eye while remaining simple. Also, don’t overdo it!

To match the Christmas decor with your interior in neutral tones, bet on wood! Pine cones, sculptures, logs: there is a choice.
