Christmas bells are a staple in this popular neutral Christmas decor trend, but they can be used with almost any theme.
I am obsessed with them! And I am on a mission to find some antique brass bells to add to our decor for years to come.
Here are a few of the ways that I could use them…when I eventually find them!
Hanging from the Mantel
These gold bells look stunning hanging on the end of the mantel.
In a Swag
If you have a swag anywhere in your Christmas decor, put some bells on it. Just do it!!

In the Center of a Wreath
These gold bells in the center of a green wreath on the front door are gorgeous!
Hanging with Ice Skates
I grew up in Florida, so I’ve never owned a pair of ice skates, but this picture makes me want to get some! Hang your antique bells with your ice skates on your hall tree or coat rack. It’s so pretty!

With the Stockings
If you don’t have large bells to hang on the end of the mantel, try hanging smaller ones with the stockings. I think it’s beautiful!
On a Garland
How cute are these bells on this fireplace garland? I love the minimalistic look.

In a Wreath
You can also incorporate them into a wreath! Instead of hanging big bells in the middle of the wreath, I worked them into the greenery.
On the Mantel
I know I already listed a minimal mantel garland with bells, but this one was too pretty to ignore. So, if you want more on your mantel and still want to use bells, do it like this!

Around Sconce Lighting
Adding some greenery and big bells around your sconce lighting is a great way to have Christmas decor in every part of your house. It would work great on a porch!
Across the Windows
These dainty bells hung across the windows are understated, but so pretty!

From the Banister
If I had stairs with a normal banister, I would definitely have bells hanging from them!

You can use bells in your holiday decor in so many ways. I am so excited to find some of my own and put them out!
