Do you have a mantel to decorate this holiday season? How and where would you focus your holiday decorating if you did not have a mantel? It is more common than not to find a home, condo or apartment without a mantel or fireplace in many cities. However; Holiday Ads or catalogs tend to picture beautiful mantels with garland draped across, leaving those without yearning for other decorating ideas.
Here are a few suggestions to add holiday decor without having a mantel to display things on.
– Start from the outside in by decorate the front door and steps with a holiday wreath, lighted topiaries or add garland to the porch railing and post.
– Decorate your dining room table with a holiday center piece, new holiday table runner or table cloth in rich holiday tones of red, green, gold or even silver and turquoise is popular this season.
– Change out your kitchen hand towels to reds and greens, add garland and holiday decor to the top of cabinets or media centers if possible.
– Add holiday towels to the powder room or bathroom, if you don’t want to purchase special towels take any color that you have, white, chocolate brown, red towels and holiday ribbon add a flat holiday ornament for garnish and instant holiday charm.
