The fireplace mantel or mantelpiece is often an overlooked piece of decorative framework. Because it blends in with the wall, chances are your guests won’t be able to appreciate it. Change that with strategically placed trinkets and creative designs you can easily do on your own.

If you want your mantel to stand out, you can choose to paint it with a bold color that will make it pop against your wall. If you’re going for a more subtle approach, you should paint it over with a hue that matches the accent in your room.
