During the holiday season, one of the most exciting places to decorate is the fire place mantel. When it gets cold and dreary out, like it is known to do in the Washington, DC area, a warm fire really manages to bring a whole lot of festive spirit into a home. With its charm and coziness, beautiful mantels can make all the difference in creating an inviting fireplace, living room, and in turn, a home. Check out our favorite mantels for their architectural style and clean lines. Come back to the blog next week for beautifully decorated seasonal mantels!
Traditionally constructed mantels will always have a place in interior design. The lovely framing, thoughtful molding, and detailed scrollework are design features that never lose value.
Traditional mantels paired with contemporary furnishings help to keep the classic mantel design feeling new and light.
Or pair with traditional furniture and accent pieces for a cohesive look, true to the mantels’ beginnings. Marble and unpainted woodwork really help to maintain the traditional style that mantels are known for. For a contemporary twist on the mantel, a simple piece of wood above the fireplace serves to make a stunning visual impact. A slab of high shine metal also works as a mantel, but with a totally modern feel.
We love this molded mantel piece over the fireplace. It’s the perfect combinatiom of traditional and modern.
Curved scrollwork and whitewash paint give these mantels more of French classical look.
