I’ve Never Seen a Garland as Stunning as John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s – It’s So Modern, Elevated, and Yet Easy to Replicate
John and Chrissy accented their mantel with a lush, red garland, which complements the marble base beautifully while adding volume
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are not ones to hold back with holiday decor, so it's no surprise that their Christmas mantel is just as stunning and elevated as their tree or home exterior.
Designed by Marketing Studio LA a few years ago, we are revisiting the spectacular design as we plan our 2025 holiday decor. Their modern, marble fireplace is accented by a lush, red garland, which drapes beautifully around the flames. A few stacked red and silver gifts sit nearby, providing balance and volume to the area.
To get the look, start with a statement-making garland, like this one from Amazon, and then build around it – you can't go wrong with these ruffled, red velvet stockings (available at Target) for some added texture. I confess, it's the most visually stunning mantel arrangement I've seen to date.
