Six Ways Your Fireplace Mantel Can Make Your House Feel Like Home

Add Tech             

Flat-screen TVs have been inching their way up mantels for awhile now, and for good reasoning. The TV-hearth partnership is ideal for small spaces and allows you to focus on furniture arrangement. Depending on how your mantel is designed, there are many ways to mount a television here. Mounting the TV aesthetically gives a clean look, while mounting it flush with the wall looks less bulky. There are also full-range motion mounts that will generate a pleasing view from anywhere in the room. For a more decorative option, try framing your TV. Concealing it behind cabinet doors is an option, but you will still want to add items to the mantel itself. Adding small items such as single flowers or figurines to match the décor or the room will not clutter the space or block the screen.
