C H E C K O U T R E V E A L M AG The Scott brothers’ latest issue is full of holiday inspiration. On sale now at newsstands and Magazine.Store/Reveal.

1STA RT W I T H A RT To establish a mood and color palette, play around with art. A large piece draws eyes and provides a style starting point. Lean frames against the wall for a less formal look (they’re easy to swap) or hang them for a more finished feel.

2G O G R E E N Plants in pretty pots are winners year-round, and seasonal fresh flowers or branches bring in color and drama. For the holidays, call on fragrant greenery like eucalyptus or juniper. Simply lay branches on the mantel in strategic spots.

3L I G H T I T U P Candlelight brings coziness to any scene. A grouping of three or more candles in varying heights and holders will make the mantel extra festive. If you’re nestling candles among greenery, use the flameless variety for safety.

4A D D M E A N I N G Displaying the brass owl that belonged to your grandmother or the ceramic bowl you got in Mexico adds personality and will make you happy every time you see it.

5M I X & M AT C H Accessories, vessels, and art should be a mix of old and new, treasured splurges and budget scores, materials, and finishes. The result will be a mantel that looks layered and all your own. n
