A fireplace is naturally the focal point of any room. By adding a few unique touches you will make it pop even more. Our fireplace mantel experts have provided a few tips for creating a warm, inviting space to enjoy!

Start with color: Use your fireplace mantel as a place to showcase your favorite color. A collection of candles or decorative vases will pop against a neutral background. Be bold with layering and position a small piece of art over a large piece.

Use the Seasons as inspiration: Add a few mini pumpkins, pinecones, and faux to give your home an autumn touch. Adding items that are meaningful to you only adds to your room’s ambiance.

Simplicity is key: Mantels Direct offers a variety of elegant and beautifully designed fireplace mantels. If you have a bold mantel we recommend decorating with simple touches. A framed mirror is a quick and easy way to add to your room’s ambiance without looking cluttered.

Add a custom flare: A granite or marble surround can complete your fireplace; choose from a variety of colors and designs.
