Are you looking for an idea to keep the winter holidays going throughout the cold months without being Christmas themed? How about re-decorating your stone mantel from MantelCraft to celebrate winter? Here are some great ideas that will keep your stone mantel the focal point of your room.

An elegant winter mantel display doesn't have to cost a lot. Make cozy vase covers from thrifted sweaters and fill them with soft brown grass and twigs from your backyard. Use an old windowpane to tie the arrangement together.

Snowflake candleholders, decorations and scrapbook-paper snowflakes make your stone mantel a charming display. Let your self be inspired by the cold, snowy weather. Keep your arrangement simple with two hurricane vases filled with silver berry garlands and a white metal container filled with pinecones. An empty wooden frame creates the perfect backdrop for the arrangement's centerpiece — a large shimmering star.

Create a playful winter stone mantel display to make every day feel like a snow day. Draw a colorful scene on a chalkboard or a very old piece of slate. Pair it with antique skates, snowmen and a long piece of wool fabric bunched up to look like a blanket. Add aqua mason jars to your arrangement, filling two with Epsom salt and a battery-operated tea-light candle and one with plenty of marshmallows.

Orange is typically thought of as a fall hue, but when used carefully and creatively, it's a lively accent color perfect for winter, too. Create a warm and inviting atmosphere by blending orange with brown and cream colors. Add a lantern and vintage cheese box to give the display a rustic feel, while bright, fresh flowers create an energetic vibe without being too overpowering.

Your stone mantel from MantelCraft will shine when you transform it for the cold, dreary, winter months.  If you are in need of a new mantel, contact us and we will help you decide which one is the perfect fit in your home.
