Trying to decide on how to dress up your mantel can sometimes be tricky. Do you make it a focal point or keep it simple? Do you use artwork, mirrors, nick-knacks, photos, greenery, etc? Really, the options are endless. My recommendations are to use pieces that have meaning to you, if you are doing a collection use odd amounts (3, 5 or 7), if you are going for a more traditional look use symmetry in your design, for a more modern approach keep it simple and asymmetrical. Also remember that if you use a mirror over your mantel that it is reflecting something that is worth reflecting (really this a just a good rule of thumb anytime you are going to place a mirror. Finally, do not and I repeat DO NOT put your television over your mantel. It is generally not at an appropriate height for watching television and it does not make for a great focal point.
