Here are a few tips for
creating a fabulous focal point for your holiday décor!
A fireplace mantel is the
perfect way to display your favorite pieces of art, a decorative mirror, or an
assemblage of seasonal objects that you love. You want to highlight your
interests through your décor and work within a common theme.
To
create a dramatic impact, use the simple “triangle method”! Start with a large
central object over the mantel. This could be a large framed painting or
photograph, a wreath, or a mirror; work with simple pieces that can stand
alone.
Next, choose one to three complimentary colors
you want to use to show off your home. A few examples of complimentary colors
are gold and silver, silver and blue, red and white, tan, gold, and yellow.
Finally, incorporate
objects of varying heights to add contrast and dimension. Make sure not to
over-accessorize. If you have a lot of objects, find creative ways to layer
them within the space.
