As you arrange your mantel, place taller objects in the back. Vary the heights of objects by using stands or holders; the highs and lows give visual energy. Leave some gaps for breathing room between displays. Think of the objects in small groupings that relate to one another as a large grouping. Touches from nature, such as driftwood and branches, bring a well-composed grouping to life. Consider seasonal changes, such as spring flowers or fall gourds.
In a room filled with contrasting colors and supple textures, this crisp white fireplace earns the designation of focal point, thanks to its handsome details and beautiful styling. A neutral fireplace contributes balance to a room filled with sculptural furniture and detailed accessories. Decorate the mantel according to the fireplace's style for additional eye appeal. Here, black-and-white artwork in white frames works beautifully with the carved white mantel and gray-veined marble surround.
A grouping of the family's monogram works as the foundation element. The variety of shapes and sizes in the rest of the objects allows for an interesting pattern within a consistent overall look. Incorporate other striking objects that add height and contrast to your core collection.
