The fireplace is the cozy center of the living room — or any room it's in, really. And its mantel is the perfect place to display decor that makes the whole space positively pop. Consider these fireplace mantel ideas for dressing up that special centerpiece in ways ranging from cheery and bright, to modern and stunning. You don't even have to worry if your fireplace goes unused day after day, most of these designs will work better that way.

Layer the Look

Who says art should be laid out side by side? The mantel here has layers of objects and framed art for a dimensional look and a more unexpected visual interest.

Enlarge the Room With a Mirror

Let a beautifully decorated fireplace mantel do double duty by using it to display a mirror that also serves the purpose of bouncing natural light, seeming to enlarge the room.

Arrange Found Items

This fireplace mantel touts the Virginia home's own history by displaying bottles uncovered in a barn on the property. But any carefully curated cluster of found objects adds a dose of personality and unique flair to a mantel.

Mix Foliage and Candles

For the aesthetic value alone, you can't beat a mix of organic materials, such as branches of foliage and dried oranges, and candlesticks. We suggest using battery operated candles so you only have to keep your eye on the main fire.

Display Antiques

Designer Kelley Motschenbacher decked her mantel with collectibles that impart a sense of whimsy and total individuality. "I really like antiques because they're often weird, nontraditional sizes that are ideal for smaller rooms," she told Country Living.

Decorate With Lamps

A pair of metal lamps placed on either side of a television above a fireplace mantel lends both an appealing sense of symmetry, and also a dose of functional lighting, to any room.

Make It Personal

Give the whole room a highly personal look by hanging a monogram above the fireplace mantel — such as this oversized letter from a garden store in a Texas ranch.

Elevate Unexpected Objects

Unexpected objects get a place of pride on this mantel, including figurines, flowers, seashells, and cups. And if you're looking for a place to store all of your books, an unused fireplace is ideal.

Tell a Color Story

Let the mantel command the attention it deserves by setting it with brightly colored objects in various sizes and textures. Here, potted plants, art, and vases pop in coordinating hues of yellows, blues, and greens.

Get Symmetrical

Mosaic sconces and potted greenery flank a wall-mounted antique horse in this example of how symmetry on a fireplace mantel can lend a tidy and soothing aesthetic to a room.

Keep a Sense of Humor

The mantel is an ideal place to inject a little humor into the home decor. For hers, stylist Sibella Court collected portraits of men and boys with mustaches — and for the ones who didn't, she added a 'stache for each, using ruffled paper fringe, a mask, and even a penciled-in version with a clown nose.

Go Green

Potted plants displayed on a fireplace mantel can add a dose of freshness — not to mention a cheerful pop of color — to the room.

Vary the Vases

When it comes to a collection of vases, the more variety, the merrier. Mix shapes and sizes, and vary heights and colors, for an eye-catching result — whether filled with real or faux florals, or with nothing at all.

Display Plates

There's no need at for a matching set here. Display pretty dishes above your mantel for a delightful look — and piling on patterns only adds to the charm.

Art Gallery

A collection of art, of varying shapes and heights, adds dramatic visual interest to the room.
