Elegant Christmas Fireplace

[ Edited ]

I really like the way this fireplace & mantel are decorated, but I don’t like the style of the lamps. I would replace them with something else. I love to decorate with red, green & gold for the holidays so I like the the wreath, garland, and trees. I also like the reindeer. We don’t have a fireplace, but if we did, I would love these colors and items in my home.

The lamps are out of proportion, too tall.  I like the rest of the decor.  Very lush and full.

I too would replace or remove the lamps. Maybe it's the angle of the photo..they look way too tall and take away from the other decor.

Lovely! But I agree with you, the lamps would have to go.

REally pretty.

 

The room looks a little distorted by the camera, so perhaps the lamps are distorted too.  They lool a bit "off."

Those lamps are out of place there. They are too tall, and just don't fit in.....Otherwise the fireplace is beautifully decorated.....

Yes, no lamps.  I appreciate this style in someone else's home but personally I tend to be a bit more rustic.

I love it. Don't think I would change anything at all.

Re: Elegant Christmas Fireplace

I would also remove the lamps (they look out of place) and the deer.  I would also have red bows and ornaments.
