Making The Most Of Your Mantel

A mantel is a central focal point of a room. Mantels should be seen as a piece of furniture, similar to a console, Once you stop thinking of it as a part of the architecture, you can think of it as a focal point, A well decorated mantel can change your entire room. Use flowers, fill your vases. Use all the things you love. A pair of candlesticks, a clock, and decorative boxes if you like. Dress and redress to fit the season.

If you have a rustic mantel this doesn’t mean you have to mirror that in the artwork below. This wooden mantel combined with the almost pop art illustration looks great. 

Show off a collection on your mantel, or buy similar vases for a broken up bunch of flowers. This creates a calming effect.
