Joanna Gaines’ Best Tips for Decorating Your Mantel
- Add an anchor. We’re not talking nautical flourishes, rather, include an anchoring piece like a mirror, sculpture, piece of art, or wreath or floral arrangement to be the focal point of the space.
- Display some greenery.
- Include some sentimental pieces.
How big should a picture be over a mantle?
Above a mantel or console: Hang four to 12 inches above, depending on the height of the mantel or console. If the mantel is four feet or taller, then hang four to six inches above. If the artwork (or mirror) is taller than three feet, lean it on the mantel or console for a casual effect.
How do you decorate a TV over a mantle?
- You can really make a mantel look great by adding low decor under the TV and anchoring the sides with larger, taller decor.
- I love the idea of adding sconces to the side of the TV.
- Hide It completely.
- And you can always get a TV that looks like framed art when you’re not watching it (in the last photo).
Should I put the TV above the fireplace?
It’s not advisable to mount a TV above a fireplace because excess heat and electronics don’t mix. The area above the fireplace is often warmer than other wall surfaces in your home. The farther the fireplace mantle extends into the room, the more it will deflect heat from the above wall (and TV mounted there).
How do you hang Christmas garland on the mantle?
Here’s how:
- Attach several clear or white removable hooks evenly spaced on top of the mantel.
- Securely tie fishing wire around the garland to align with the hooks.
- Tie the other end of the fishing wire around the hooks tightly, so the garland is hanging in front of the mantel in a draping effect.
Is it safe to put TV on mantle?
The short answer is – yes. However, to ensure your television isn’t damaged from the heat, care must be taken to ensure heat generated by the fireplace is redirected away from television. There are several ways to do this, such as installing a proper mantel and building an alcove for the television.
