Fireplace Mantle Height
Comments (0)Hello - How tall should a fireplace mantle be for a 8 ft high ceiling? Width of wall is about 13 feet. I know height can vary, but on average what would you recommend for mantle height? Thank you!...See MoreMantle or no mantle over fireplace??
Comments (21)@ Mike Lipsky- sorry im just seeing your question. we love our fireplace in master bedroom. sorry im out of town on business so dont know height of oir fireplace but i do know we’re very happy with height we selected. i do know when we were considering what height for fireplace, we took into consideration view of fireplace when seated in bedroom chairs as well as when in bed so we could see lovely gas fire flames. would love to see a picture of your installed fireplace...See MoreHow do I accessorize a floor-height fireplace mantle?
Comments (3)A tv and speakers are not "decoration"...get that tv on a stand and the speakers somewhere else. then find a large piece of art and hang it over the fire box. A tall plant to the right and a small round pot and 2 or 3 candlesticks on the left....See MoreHow should I decorate my fireplace mantle?
Comments (6)Remove the mirro it reflects nothing worth seeing twice . I do not like all the stuff on shelves in kitchens but if this is the look you love then get piece of art thay would look great in the kitchendecor and put it on the mantel to beging with then candles more like the ones in the kitchen only a bit taller and bigger around . IMO the Edison bulbs in all the fitures are casting a yellow glow on everything IMO not falttering but you need to decide if that yellow glow is what is making your kitchen feel warm along with the kitchen wall color, which I bet if you changed all your bulbs to LED 4000K ,would look very different too....See MoreUser
