With the right amount of touches this minimalist Christmas fireplace is simple, neutral and works for Christmas and winter decorating. If you’re on a budget, in a rush or just love the minimalist look check out these decor ideas.
We finally painted out brick fireplace, check out the before and after here. Since we finished painting close to November I couldn’t wait to decorate it for Christmas. I wanted to keep it simple, minimalist and able to easily transform from Christmas to winter decor. It turned out beautiful!
Minimalist Christmas and Winter Fireplace
To start I got a large evergreen garland and laid it on the mantel. The garland felt a bit lonely so I made my own pearl garland. I also added single pearls onto ornament hooks and attached them to the garland.
Next I wanted a mirror that matched the fireplace insert and could be used year round. I made sure to secure it and used the garland to hide any spots showing.
I found these clear acrylic reindeer at the dollar tree! They cost about a dollar each and I painted them white and put them throughout the mantel. They each needed 3 coats of paint but I think spray painting may have been a bit easier. I feel like these would look amazing with silver or gold paint too.
A good friend suggested that I add a red nose to one of the reindeer and turn him into Rudolph. Of course that turned out amazing and gives just a tiny bit of color to my minimalist Christmas fireplace. To all the people that love cheerful and bright Christmas colors rest assured that I did include that in other parts of the house! The tree is colorful and so is a lot of the other decor.
I found this wire basket at the dollar store and added birch wood pieces that I cut to fit. Since the fireplace is actually a working wood burning one I think the touch of wood was just right.
Of course nothing is more cozy than a blanket (you can never have enough blankets) so that was added into a neutral basket.
This minimalist Christmas fireplace really came together with each piece. Everything cost less than $100 and there’s still enough space to add personal touches. Stockings, a Christmas village or even lights would look great added in.
Pin for Later!
