Ideas to decorate your mantel

 

One of the most popular items to hang above the mantel are mirrors. But today I won’t show you mantels with mirrors, I wanted to show you some other great ideas to fix up your mantel.

A fireplace creates an instant focal point in a room and that is why it is important to choose the right decorative items.

Notice the colours of the painting that match the stained wooden cabinets, the leather chairs and coffee table. I love the look of this living room!

Add personality and style by adding a few more pieces as Michael S Smith has done here. And instead of hanging a mirror above the mantel, he places the mirror next to the chimney.
