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

Reflect with Mirrors

Mirrors have a variety of uses in the home, such as checking your reflection, opening a room and enhancing décor. Large mirrors of different sizes and shapes are great decorative pieces for mantels, but they are not designed for looking at yourself.

Large mirrors with interesting frames attract the most attention and can be hung over the mantel or rested on top of the mantel shelf. If the surrounding area is spacious, you can use small items to decorate with. A tall vase or tall candlesticks on both sides of the mirror will help create a balanced effect.
