Fireplace Mantel Designs

Decorating a fireplace mantel can set the tone of a room. Whether you decorate a mantel with artwork or a personal collection, you can add a unique touch to any fireplace.

<strong>A Natural Inclination</strong>

With the help of magazine photos and inspiration from TV design shows, Buffy Hamilton visualized the look she wanted and personalized it. "I wanted to create a soothing oasis in my 1950s living room". The mantel reflects the primary tones of the room with "soothing cocoa/khaki, soft white and hints of silver." The textures reflect natural, organic elements that are evident in the accessories.
