A fireplace may not be the warmest place in a house, but in some way, it is the focus of the room. This may be the reason why lately, a strong accent is put on decorating the area above the fireplace. Do not turn your mantel into a storage shelf, but adorn it instead with seasonal flowers, a beautiful clock, elegant candles, antique mirror or ceramic souvenirs. Regardless of the design, a fireplace is always a perfect place for seasonal home decoration. Here are few creative ways you can dress up your mantel depending on the season.

Welcome spring by decorating your fireplace with lots of different colors. For example, place asymmetrical vase with fresh spring flowers, scented candles or antique mirrors that will add a special touch to the room and make it look royal and gorgeous at the same time. Spring means Easter time also, so decorate your mantel with Easter motives like gleeful eggs, rabbit figurines and artificial grass.

Summer is an ideal season for beach-inspired decorations. Dress up your mantel with sea shells, beach sand, pearls, white stones, pictures of your summer vacation etc. If you want to add a more glamorous look, buy few antique mirrors Melbourne with silver or gold frames and place them in different locations – above the fireplace, bedroom and in the dining room. Use the same antique mirrors to decorate fireplace area in the rainy autumn days. Add orange leaves, painted branches and the usual inevitable pumpkins.

In cold winter, focus on Christmas decorations. Christmas makes winter even more romantic and beautiful, and fireplace decoration can change the entire look of your home. The most important element would have to be Christmas socks. Make sure Santa Claus has where to put Christmas presents. So, find, make or buy Christmas red colorful socks and hang them on the fireplace. In the middle of the mantel place the Christmas wreath and next to it place a big Christmas tree decorated with various ornaments and present.

If you do not have different decorations for each season, a beautiful antique mirror with a royal-like frame design is always a good solution. Vases, candles, flowers, ceramic figurines, handmade souvenirs, etc. can also be used as a perfect mantel decoration. All these things arranged beautifully will give your home a whole new look. So, go ahead and be creative!
