The great thing about mantlepiece decor is that you can easily change it! This small area can pack a big design punch without breaking the bank. Here are some tips to utilize this prime real estate. First, I recommend that you follow the rule of three. Don’t over crowd with too many things. Use groups of threes – three candlesticks, three vases, etc. A large mirror or piece of art can enhance the design aesthetic of the entire room. Just make sure that large scale pieces are not wider than the mantle. To make your mantle décor blend with your room’s décor, add pops of color from your color scheme such as colorful candles or fresh flowers. Change up the mantelpiece decor according to the seasons or holidays. For example, incorporate seasonal elements like pumpkins and autumn leaves for fall, or garlands and ornaments for the holiday season.
Remember, there are no strict rules for styling a mantelpiece. Experiment with different arrangements and have fun creating a display that reflects your personal style and complements the room’s decor. Feel free to adjust and rearrange items until you achieve a look that you love.
