For a playful twist, 'Gone Skiing' and 'Mischief Way' add fun and whimsy, or choose 'Simple Elegance' and 'Tranquility' for a more understated, sophisticated look. 'Eclipse Valley' brings a sense of mystery, and 'It's a Wrap' offers a nostalgic feel. 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' and 'Sweet Magnolia' themes add bursts of colour and soft pastels for a unique festive touch.
Each theme can be beautifully complemented with matching accessories, from garlands and stockings to fairy lights and candles, all available in Bents Garden and Home’s Christmas Decorations collection. These themes will help you create a stunning and cohesive fireplace display that captures the spirit of the season.
Christmas garlands for fireplace
Transform your fireplace into a festive delight with Christmas garlands. Classic evergreen garlands are perfect for a traditional feel. Add baubles, beads, and decorations to match your colour scheme for that extra sparkle. For more glamour, choose a pre-lit mantlepiece garland or add your own lights for a stunning effect.
You can also coordinate your fireplace garland with your Christmas tree’s theme. One of our top picks this year is 'Mischief Way', featuring playful squirrels and cheeky hedgehogs, bringing a fun and whimsical feel. Imagine a flurry of friendly animals hidden in the lush branches of your fireplace garland, creating a charming Christmas scene.
Traditional stockings
Decorating your fireplace with Christmas stockings is a wonderful way to add a traditional touch to your festive decorations. Here are some creative ideas to enhance your fireplace with stockings, drawing inspiration from various sources:
- Choose stockings that match your overall colour scheme. This creates a harmonious and visually appealing display
- Personalise your stockings by embroidering names or creating handmade stockings if you're crafty. This adds a unique and personal touch to your decor.
- Don’t hesitate to experiment with non-traditional Christmas colours for a unique look. For example, a soft sparkle theme with blush pink and white can still evoke Christmas cheer without the traditional red and green
- If you're into DIY, creating your own stockings with paper crafts or other materials can be a fun family activity and give a unique charm to your fireplace
For a wide selection of Christmas stockings to match these ideas, you can explore the Bents Garden and Home Christmas ornaments category. Here, you'll find a variety of options to suit any theme or colour scheme you choose for your festive fireplace decor.

And it’s not all about the mantlepiece…the hearth is the perfect place for fireplace ornaments. Choose items that are a little bit larger for maximum impact from traditional lanterns and pre-lit Christmas characters to a classic poinsettia or festive floral arrangement, the choice is endless.
Festive Wreaths

They offer the same festive touch and can be reused every year. For an extra sparkle, consider adding fairy lights to the mantelpiece, giving your fireplace a simple yet elegant look.
