New Ideas for Old Hearths

Your fireplace deserves to be surrounded with style. Here are some beautiful ideas to choose from.

Asymmetrical Mantel
 

Go Asymmetrical

Top off your fireplace with an arrangement that covers both the mantel and the wall above it. The key to asymmetry is maintaining balance without placing everything in a straight line. So vertical elements are balanced with horizontal, and large prints are paired with small. Take time to experiment with different arrangements on the floor, or tape up paper cutouts in the shapes of the objects you plan to hang.
