Isn’t this such a good time to start using the fireplace? The mornings are chilly and on some days, it’s damp and gray. Even better! Imagine lounging in a robe, flipping through magazines, listening to French jazz and sipping lattes while enjoying the warmth of a crackling fireplace. Ah- heaven!

Unfortunately, most of our fireplaces are pure decorative which means they don’t have any functionality besides bestowing our home with character and charm. Below are some decor inspirations on how to make your fireplace mantel a focal point in your home.

The common theme? Keep it light and simple with white mantels…

 

 

I hope you loved all of these mantels. Another common denominator is having a mirror on top of the fireplace. Also- I think less is more! Don’t get too caught up with all the little decorative ‘junk’.
