Fireplace Mantel Decorating Ideas

For Your Home, Porch and Three Season Rooms

We hope these fireplace mantel decorating ideas will inspire you to create a most charming focal point in your home, screened porch, three season porch, or even you front porch.

Fireplace mantel shelves can and often should be the focus of custom interior design. Traditionally, mantels provide an opportunity for you to create a personal design that is unique to a specific room.

Usually, the fireplace mantel and shelf define the specific style of your interior, no matter whether it is Classic, Victorian, Gothic, Renaissance, Italian, French or even country.

As fireplaces are the focal point of room, adding the right decor can add immense aesthetic pleasure to the room. And it is easy to do, too. Here are some great ideas you can use that won't break the budget either.

Try something like this for spring! At 72 inches it will fit almost any mantel and looks fantastic indoors or out.
