Before: simple accessories may work for this mantel in spring and summer, but for the winter and holiday season you will want to amp up your design and add warmth to every nook and cranny of your space.
The 8-inch deep thick mantel above the direct vent gas fireplace has a stain that resembles the dark and rich color of the living room's hickory floor.
Sconces can free up important real estate in small spaces. By taking lamps off the tables and the floor and attaching them to the wall, you’re making these areas way more functional and a lot free-er.
Chalkboards can hang over the mantel or, in this case, stand in for it entirely! This clever faux mantel wall hanging from designer Brian Patrick Flynn is a smart solution for apartment dwellers or renters.
