What Christmas decoration for the fireplace this year?
To successfully decorate your fireplace, let yourself be inspired by the major decorating trends for Christmas 2023!
This year again, the traditional decoration in red and green is on the rise. On the fireplace, we therefore opt for plant decoration by combining fir branches and red berries. To enhance the ensemble, we rely on the classics: golden candlesticks and pretty bows. To add an ultra-trendy touch, consider a tartan print ribbon.
Among the big color trends for Christmas 2023, it’s impossible to miss white. The other essential is ice blue, which creates a fantastic “frosty” feel. The decoration of the fireplace then falls into line, for example with a luminous wall decoration – equipped with bulbs preferably producing white light.
As for accessories, we favor transparent glass and silver candlesticks with blue. In a decor dominated by white, a graphic note of black is also sublime.
Fan of minimalism, even for the holidays? Fall for an everlasting Christmas wreath by choosing a gold metal model. Add a few decorations made of folded paper or cardboard, placed on the mantle or in the fireplace hearth.
This year, DIY Christmas decorations are in the spotlight. And they also adorn the fireplace. Aluminum or wooden star, dried fruit garlands, framed collages… Give free rein to your imagination – and add a light garland to enhance the whole thing!
The mirror remains the most common choice for decorating the fireplace. And for the holidays, it proves very valuable for boosting a bright decor and creating a dreamlike atmosphere in the living room. The simple and effective choice is the glass bell, one of the essential decorative accessories for this Christmas 2023. Simply place a light garland on it and that’s it.
Candles are a perfect alternative to fairy lights on the fireplace. The little extra thing? Faceted balls, which give a decidedly festive character to the decor. Here is a fireplace decoration as suitable for Christmas Eve as it is for New Year’s Eve!
Soft lighting is essential to enjoy an intimate and warm New Year’s Eve. In a large living room, candles and light garlands are not always sufficient to ensure a pleasant lighting atmosphere. A pretty table lamp in golden brass fits perfectly with the decoration of the fireplace. In a decoration dominated by blue and white, opt instead for a chrome piece.
Plant decoration is top trend this year. If the tree is a great option in a traditional Christmas decoration, we can prefer alternatives such as eucalyptus or olive tree for a more contemporary look. Which doesn’t stop you from adding one or two miniature trees to the fireplace!
If you have a large enough fireplace, consider installing the Christmas village or the nativity scene there. To dress up the fireplace without overwhelming it, add a simple wreath or bright decoration.
SOS: I don’t have a fireplace!
Decorating the fireplace is great… provided you have one, of course! If this is not the case, don’t hesitate to cheat a little by buying a purely decorative model. Minimalist contemporary model, rustic inspiration or stylish fireplace: you can find a wide variety of designs and formats that easily adapt to a small living room.
To decorate your fake fireplace, and to enjoy the relaxing glow of the flames, opt for a collection of XXL candles that you will place in the hearth. Choose LED models, which allow you to add Christmas decorations: more economical, they avoid any risk of domestic accidents!
