Mantel decorating help
Comments (0)Can anyone provide me some ideas or inspiration that won’t break the bank on how to style my mantel? What throws me off is that it’s 3 tiers.......See Morehelp with decorating mantel with mounted deer head
Comments (6)Since this is an office, I think that if the deer is staying in the room that the fireplace is the best place to put it as it grounds it. I have some concern if it is on the small wall that it will overwhelm the space and someone is going to walk right into it. You and your husband get it figured out whether it stays or goes to his man cave and then the next step is to address the mantle. I don't know if "dress" is the right word when there is a deer near-by-lol.......See MoreMantel decorating help
Comments (5)Keep it simple for both the mantel and hearth. Don't line items across the mantel. As littlebug posted, "too balanced." Maybe try the two brown vases on the left side of the mirror, and move the urn on the hearth to the right of the mirror. Remove the photos, clock and fake greenery. Mantels and hearths always look better to me when simple....See MoreHelp decorating an open niche/mantel.
Comments (11)Thank you @grapefruit1_ar!! This is precisely the advice I was looking for... I decorate with a variety of Mercury glass Christmas trees, garland, balls, etc for Christmas... so I like decorating this area seasonally... Isn't that the fun of having a fireplace mantel? LOL. I went shopping yesterday and saw some cute wicker vases at Target (too small)... I'm thinking maybe a spring floral arrangement would look good or possibly a birdcage. I've been looking for an antique windowpane or a decorative arched cathedral wood frame that would fit... thinking I could stand it up instead of hanging it ... but it needs to be finished on both sides or I'll have to buy two lol. I have plenty of %&$ to stick up there... but balancing the height in that space seems to be my biggest challenge....See MoreOlychick
