If you are a happy owner of a fireplace, you may enjoy the warmth, beautiful look and sometimes even sound it makes, a perfect focal point for any cold season! To make it even more eye-catching, you can decorate the mantel or the wall over the fireplace, and they will produce a wow effect. How to? Here are some examples.
TV Over The Fireplace
A TV is the most popular piece to style a wall over the fireplace, and in case of having one there, there are two main ways to go: make it part of a gallery wall or just add some decor that isn’t too much in your face. The first approach is especially good when your TV can show paintings and even if not, that’s ok. The second solution is easier: just don’t use too bright or too large decor around and that’s it.
Dried blooms, candles and figurines plus a TV over the mantel make the space over the fireplace cooler and catchier.
