With the winter chill in full-effect, there’s nothing more cozy than a warm fire. Decorating the mantle can be a great way to elevate the fireplace as a focal element in a space. The holiday decorations have been put away and now is a great time to spruce up decor. If you have a modern decorating style in your home, you’ll want the decor to reflect the clean, bold aesthetic. Read on to see our round-up of fresh and inspiring ideas for the 3 most beautiful ways to decorate a modern fireplace mantel.
1. Add an Oversized Mirror To Your Mantel Decor
It doesn’t get much bolder than an oversized, statement piece. Mirrors not only add brightness and light to a space, but they can also fit in with modern decor with bold style. The minimal, high-contrast rooms above embrace modern design well. The large mirrors above their fireplace add drama and depth. We love the brass details on the left, and the character and distressing of the mirror on the right.
2. Create a Layered Vignette For Modern Fireplace Mantel Decor
For those truly into more layered and decorated looks, creating a vignette on the mantel is definitely doable in a modern space. Start with abstract art, and add in pieces of varying heights and materials to create a beautiful, stylish look. The effortlessly chic looks above add in greenery, mixed metals, and modern sculpture.
This bright space created by Decorilla designer Eleni P. is chock full of drama. It’s a great example of using a fireplace as the focal point in a room. Her mantle decor vignette is balanced, interesting, and sleek. Check out these unique mantels for a range of design aesthetics.
