Fireplace Mantle Decorating Ideas - Jennifer Decorates

Hello I'm Jennifer from Jennifer Decorates and today I'm going to show you four ways to decorate a fireplace mantle. For this design I chose a minimalistic look. I found a beautiful landscape picture that I hung in the middle and beside it I'm going to place two tall wood candlesticks on each side of the picture. And if you'll notice the candles are a green that really pulls out the green that's in the landscape picture. For this next fireplace decorating idea I'm going to create an eclectic look. I've got a beautiful wreath I'm placing in the middle with a bow. Next I'm going to place two candlesticks with varying heights keeping the larger taller candlestick towards the outside. Next I'm going to add some beautiful ivory candles. Now I'm ready to add something to the right side of the fireplace and I'm gonna add books. They need to be built up so I found an old wood box. I'm going to place my old books in the middle and I found some adorable bunny book ends that are going to flank each side of the books. I love this look the softness of the green wreath with the wood tones looks beautiful. For this rustic farmhouse look I found an old architectural piece that I placed on the fireplace mantle. Next I'm going to add greenery and I'm placing it in clear glass bottles just a little bit you don't need a lot and I'm going to do it on both sides of this piece. What I love about this look is that piece is so big that you don't need a lot more on the mantle but the greenery softens the entire look. Next for this traditional look I chose a clock with a dark frame because it just pops off of that shiplap. Next instead of greenery I'm going to change things up by adding a pop of color with these beautiful yellow for Cynthia branches. I also placed them in clear glass bottles on each side of the clock but we still have a little thing missing it looks a little empty so we're going to fix that with a long wood votive tray. Make sure to center it exactly under the clock and you have made a beautiful look. I love candlelight whether it's in the daytime or the evening. I just think it makes a room very romantic and calming. Thank you for watching my video. This was actually one of the most requested videos in the comments.
