# 23 Decorate Your Hearth

 There is no right way to decorate your hearth. Pictures and mirrors paired with your favorite thing are a good way to start. Hearths can be decorated simply with a beautiful mirror or a series of pictures or you can layer items. If you use a grouping, remember the rule of three. Group three or more items together for a pleasing look. The hearth is a good place to display your collections. Do not over do it. Put a few out and pack away the rest. Rotate the items instead of displaying them all at once. Think about using short and tall items for balance.


Change your hearth decorations with the seasons if you are really energetic. Remember the hearth is the focal point of the room.
Your furniture can face the hearth or put a chair near the hearth for a cozy retreat.
