There are few things as wonderful as snuggling up near a warm and crackling fire in winter. Fireplaces bring warmth and comfort to your lounge room and deserve to be decorated. Mantelpieces are a great space to display some decor or add interest to the room. Here are five marvellous mantelpiece decorations we love. Which is your favourite? Let us know in the comments below.
Mirror Mirror on the Wall
A simple mirror above your mantelpiece can make the room look bigger and decorate the space. There are no rules when it comes to picking out a mirror for your mantelpiece, although we will say that it probably deserved something a bit unique or grand (as opposed to a standard square frame.) Like this branch/antler inspired circular mirror.
Naked with Nature
A simple but effective way to decorate your mantelpiece is to add some flowers. It's up to you whether you'd like fresh flowers or synthetic flowers that will last forever. Choose a vintage vase and some artificial flowers for the minimalist look or choose your favourite pot plants to decorate the space.
Mantelpiece Memories
You can't go wrong with framed photos on your mantelpiece. As a main focal point in the room, your favourite Kodak moments will be clearly visible to warm your heart and home.
Time for a Fire
Decorate your mantelpiece with a clock. Make sure the clock takes up a decent amount of space making it a real statement in the room. Select a clock that suits the style of the rest of the room. We love the vintage look!
Book Warm
Perfect for book worms. Books are useful and decorative. Stack up your books side by side or on top of each other to decorate your mantelpiece.
