Fireplace Mantel Ideas – The Advice
According to Decoist, you want to strive for items that compliment each other, such as vases, mirrors and autumn leaves. They suggest you group an uneven number of items together (3 or 5) on one end of the mantel and another group of items on the opposite end. By adding real vegetables and flowers to the mantel you create an environment of organic and inorganic items.
The Decorist also suggests you connect the mantel with complementary colors and height so items on both ends of the mantel are symmetrical.
And don’t forget about outdoor mantel ideas – a wreath or autumn leaves can be just what your mantel needs to transition it to fall. Remember, everyone loves the warmth and glow that an outdoor fireplace gives. Use it often before the snow flies!
