Autumn is here! Fireplace decorating ideas

Fall is officially here. Though I would pick warm weather over cold weather any day, I still think fall is my favorite season. I love a fireplace, a chunky knit throw, and just the general "coziness" of the season. So I thought it'd be a good time to bring on the fall decorating inspiration!

Try holding on to a little bit of nature even when it's receding outside, by decorating the mantel with display boxes of interesting branches, pods, and other natural objects.

I really like the dramatic look of branches in a vase.

We have a wood burning insert, a pellet stove, and an electric fireplace in our house. Between the three of them they really keep the place cozy. I have to say the electric fireplace is the easiest to keep clean - no ashes!

I like the look of bookshelves framing a fireplace. Just add a chaise and or a comfy chair and you have a reading nook.

Bright Ideas: Fireplace Mantels

Your mantel and fireplace are usually the key focal points in your living room and you want them to make a statement. These fireplace mantels add character to your wall and raise your eye level up. Place a large mirror on the mantel to create even more depth to your room. Voila!

Either a fireplace surround or shelf will make a dramatic change to the look of your room. The warm tones in the wood also give an inviting and comfortable feel.

Do you need a large piece of art to display over your mantel?
