Get traditional, modern and country decorating tips for filling your fireplace mantel.
Fresh Cut Flowers + A Fancy Mirror
Perk up your mantel with a gilded mirror and a few fresh floral arrangements from your garden (or grocery store). Use the posies to play with different colors in your space – or stick with white blooms and greenery for a foolproof, classic look.
Play Up Rustic Details
Pull out your writing utensils and start taking notes from this texture-rich stone fireplace. Lean into a refined, rustic aesthetic by adding a floating unfinished wood mantel and accessorize with weathered wood and a small woven mirror.
Keep Things Bright + Airy
Excuse us as we lust over these wide built-in shelves that line both sides of this living room fireplace. Skip the scattered, cluttered look and maintain a bright and airy design by limiting the number of accessories you display on each shelf.
Wow With Floor-to-Ceiling Wood
This handsome living room inspires us to put down our pails of paint and embrace wood in all its glory. Bring a timeless quality to your built-ins by using a rich, deep brown wood stain and high-shine finish.
Rainbow Reads
Use your treasured book collection to add a burst of color to your fireplace and shelves. Arrange the book spines by color to create a rainbow effect that is not only adorable, but also cuts down on visual clutter in the space. (Also, real talk: Arranging your reads by color is much easier than arranging alphabetically.)
