Winter Mantel Decor: Neutral, Clean & Calm
Isn't it always kind of a let down after you take your Christmas decorations down? Everything looks bare for the moment and sad after the cheery Christmas colors and scheme. Then I settle into the calm and I enjoy the clean look for the winter months. I decided to go with what I was feeling and that was a more neutral look which includes winter whites, burlap, rustic wood and mercury glass.
Today I am going to show you my winter mantel. I decided to once again keep the white mismatched mirrors. I love using them as a backdrop. The wall the fireplace is on is a two-story room, so the mirrors help to add height to the room. Layering them also adds texture to the displays. I did, however, remove the black lanterns and added instead a vintage birdcage. I'm sure the lanterns will be back, but for now, I swapped out the candlesticks on my dining room table with the lanterns for a different look for both rooms.

Tobacco baskets (set of 2): Decor Steals
I added a vintage tobacco basket, silver candlesticks, pinecones and a vintage birdcage. A white wreath with a burlap ribbon adds lots of texture which warms up the very neutral winter decor.
I love how it turned out.
I'm still smitten with the little set of skis I got from the Target Dollar Spot before Christmas. They easily made the transition from my Christmas decor to winter. Did you happen to snap up a pair? I wish I would have gone back for more. Still kicking myself about that one. ?
What are your tricks and tips for a winter mantel decor? I'd love to hear!
LOVE IT? PIN IT!
To life feeling like home!

The Sunday Letter
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.
If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
The double mirrors are a great idea – it never would’ve occurred to me to layer mirrors. Looks fantastic and I love the white wreath.
Thank you Jenn! 🙂
This is so pretty! I love how it is simple, yet it makes a big statement with the 2 mirrors. I could easily replicate a similar look on my mantle.
Thank you Mary! 🙂
Your mantel looks wonderful, Amy! Love those skis!
Thanks Emily 🙂
