How to Style an Elegant Mantel
A fireplace, more than any other architectural element, adds a sense of class and luxury to a space. It adds warmth and refinement to your home while also providing numerous opportunities to improve your interior design.
In order to make the most of this stunning feature, try incorporating some of these design trends and strategies as you style the mantel above your fireplace!
Set up a focal point. With one bold, sophisticated centrepiece to give your mantel definition, you can keep it looking polished and uncluttered. A large piece of art is an excellent way to add height and culture to a room. Alternatively, a large mirror will help to open up the rest of your space!
Use colour to your advantage. Elegance does not have to be dull. With fun, interesting colours atop your mantel, you can make your fireplace stand out and liven up your space!
Use décor in colours that contrast with your fireplace, the mantel, or the overall colour scheme of the room. You could also add metallic gold or silver accessories to your mantel, such as vases, candlesticks, and picture frames, to make it feel more modern. Alternatively, a classic black and white palette can be used to complement any existing interior palette.
Be a minimalist. When it comes to a fireplace, sometimes the best way to show it off is to let it speak for itself. Leave the mantel over the fireplace bare and place objects to the left and right (or install a few wall shelves if your mantel isn't that long). Simple and limited mantel décor can be very effective in emphasising the magnificence of the fireplace itself.
