Is the room you have a fireplace more formal or more casual? After the answer, we will mimic the look and feel when decorating the fireplace mantel.
Don’t forget that the fireplace often the focal point of any room. The decor needs to represent the overall style in that room as soon as you walk in.
Casual Decor for Fireplace Mantel
The key to creating a casual look is to use informal symmetry when decorating a fireplace mantel.
Try to match different decorative items in groups. If you want to use the same items in individual groups, such as candle holders, it would be best to choose different heights.
Avoid using identical items. You can easily match your decorative items using the same color palette or objects that share the same purpose.
Using wall art on the fireplace is always a great decor idea.
However, leaning the wall art or a mirror up against the wall rather than hanging is a better way to strengthen the casual vibe you wanted to create.
You can even create a little gallery wall by overlapping three or two pictures with each other.
