Decorating the Mantel
Decorating a mantel is not about a specific formula as much as it is about proportion, scale, and balance. Don't be afraid to play around. Add a few things, take a few away. Layer. Step back and assess your work, and keep adjusting until the arrangement feels right. There are endless ways to decorate this natural focal point of a room.
Here are a few beautiful ideas you can use for creating inspired designs all your own.

Sophisticated Mantel
Sometimes one powerful piece of artwork is all the decoration required above a mantel.
