Whether you already have a built-in fireplace or you are thinking of installing one, we are here to help you decide how you may want to decorate your fireplace mantel.
In regards to home décor and fireplace mantel ideas, should a fireplace focal point be a wood, gas, or electric fireplace?
Unfortunately, there is a long list of issues that wood and gas fireplaces come with. This ranges from safety concerns, being a hassle to use or being a big expensive project to install. Luckily, electric fireplaces have none of the disadvantages and downsides that wood and gas fireplaces have, and they have a lot of benefits and advantages in their favor. Here is why you should get an electric fireplace for your home:
- No Added Fire Risk – Electric fireplaces aren’t a fire hazard because there is no real flame.
- No Harmful Emissions – No carbon monoxide or smoke. No smoke also means no smoky smell or stains.
- Using it is Easy – Electric fireplaces are effortless to use.
- Easy Installing – They are easy to install. You can put them in any room like the dining room, family room, and more. You can use them in apartments and condos.
- TV Safe – It is safe if you want your TV mounted above.
- Flame Effect Ambiance – The flame effects can be incredibly realistic with a quality electric fireplace.
If a homeowner already has an existing wood or gas fireplace, is there a DIY fireplace conversion so that it is electric?
If your architect and home builder have already built you a wood or gas fireplace, or you simply want to convert it into an electric fireplace during your remodel, you’re in luck. With an electric fireplace insert, you can place it into your existing fireplace’s firebox. Now you have a completely electric fireplace at home without wasting your old fireplace. It’s a straightforward DIY project. Just make sure the insert you buy fits the fireplace you already have. Even after doing the conversion, you can still do a makeover of the mantel or other home improvement.
What are the common electric fireplace types, and which of them should be used for a fireplace makeover?
Many different types of fireplaces will work well for this project; however, not all electric fireplaces are created equal. Here are the different types and which ones you should lean towards:
- Flat Wall Mantel Package – These are the most like traditional ones and are perfect for decorating.
- Corner Fireplace – A corner fireplace is another great fireplace for decorating.
- TV Stand Fireplace – Issues with fireplace quality. Some mild decorating you can do with their shelves.
- Corner TV Stand Fireplace – These are just a corner version of the above fireplace.
- Wall Mount Fireplace – Can be an interesting modern take with a more modern floating mantel.
- Electric Insert – Can be used to build your own mantel as well as convert your existing fireplace.
- Freestanding Fireplace Heater – Portable devices work poorly and don’t have mantels.
- Electric Stove – These look like wood-burning stoves, they aren’t really set up for a mantel.
Where online can you find a tutorial or example of good fireplace mantel ideas and fireplace surround styling tips?
With an easy Google search, you can find a blogger that might specialize in your particular style of decoration. However, an even better place to look might be Pinterest or Instagram due to the many amazing inspirational pictures available. For step-by-step guides, you can try to look up video tutorials on YouTube. This is especially helpful if you are trying to build a custom mantel or want to craft specific items for your mantel.
What are the different fireplace mantle styles and fireplace mantel décor styles?
There are several styles of fireplaces, including the fireplace mantel and fireplace mantel decorating. There is a brick fireplace for a classic and traditional look. You can get a fireplace that is white with clean lines and shapes for a more modern look. You can install a modern farmhouse-style fireplace with a natural wood mantel that has a rich grain. With a stone fireplace, you can take it in several different directions depending on the mantel décor ideas you use. A stone fireplace can be more minimal, or you can add a lot to it for more of a glam, look depending on the mantel decorating ideas you apply. Keep in mind that an important aspect of these design ideas is the color palette that you choose. You want to make sure that your design styles match the colors of your other furnishings. Another thing to consider is seasonal and holiday decorating. You can change the décor for each season or add special decorations to celebrate specific holidays like Christmas.
Here are 23 DIY fireplace mantel ideas:
For this list there is a basic definition of different design elements when it comes to decorating your mantel. Under each design element, we will also share some specific examples. Keep in mind that certain elements will work better with others. So it is important to keep the entire mantel in mind and how it will all work together. Here are the 23 ideas for the mantel area of your fireplace:
- Anchor – An anchor is the main piece of your mantel. While there are exceptions, an anchor is almost always in the center of the mantel. And it will almost always be the largest piece. Some people only have an anchor piece if they want to keep things more minimal. Others fill the mantel with more items. If you choose additional objects, the anchor should still be the main focus..
- Wall Art – One anchor piece can be a piece of art that hangs on the mantel. This can be a replica of a famous painting, a painting you bought at a gallery, or even a piece of art you or a family member has done. If your home has a mostly minimal design with many white surfaces and walls, this can be a great excuse to add a splash of color to your home.
- Large Piece of Sculpture Art – Another great piece of art can be a large sculpture in the center of your mantel. A sculpture can be representative of something, or it can be completely abstract. Try to pick a piece that speaks to you and matches the room’s style. This is a great opportunity to go antique shopping and hunt for that perfect piece for your mantel.
- Family Portrait – One piece that many people with families might like is a big family portrait. For best results, hire a professional photographer to take a portrait of your family outdoors. Wear some matching colors. If you have pets, you can consider having them in the photo too. While a classic smile staring at the camera is endearing, you can also try some sillier photos. You might find something memorable to put on your wall.
- Clock – If you don’t already have a clock in the main room of your house, consider making a clock your focal point. Just like the sculpture, you can go antique hunting for this piece and look for something special and unique. For a more authentic and traditional look, choose something with an older-style clock face. You can choose one that sits on the mantel or a large one hung on the wall above.
- Balance – Objects that help balance out the larger focal anchor piece. While an anchor piece will be one item, and, in the center, pieces that add weight to your composition will often be separate pieces on the ends. They will usually be identical or somewhat matching. Either way, it’s a good idea if they’re the same size and no more than half the size of the anchor piece.
- Candlesticks – One great thing to add on either side of your mantel is candlesticks. You can get some beautiful candlestick holders that perfectly match other items in the room. For the candles, choose a color that stands out from the wall and matches the colors of your décor. For a little added bonus, if you plan on using your candles instead of just having them on display, purchase scented ones.
- Family Photos in Picture Frames – Whether your anchor is a family portrait or not, you can easily add some photos of your family on either side of your anchor piece in some smaller frames. While you want to use two different photos here, you will want them to be the same or similar size with similar frames on either side. Choose frames that fit the décor style of your home. Just like some of the other items, you can look for some interesting frames in antique stores instead of whatever your local big-box retailer has.
- Sconces – Similar to the candles, you can add a sconce on either side of the wall above the mantel. Not only do these add an extra layer of depth and sophistication to your fireplace area, but they also are two extra sources of light. With the wall sconces on and the fireplace on simultaneously, you get an interesting triangular composition with the light. The glow of the fireplace is the star, but each sconce acts as a guide pointing to the fireplace.
- Matching Statues – You can get a pair of statues on either side of the mantel that also adds balance. It is best if you do this if your main anchor isn’t a statue. While the statues don’t need to be identical, they should be of similar size and color to properly balance the composition.
- Filler – Filler items are any other little extras you add to the mantel space or around it. These should be smaller or more subtle items and elements that don’t overpower the anchor. For filler, less is more. If you have a lot of filler, you may want to consider scaling back or removing the weight items. Try it both ways and see how it looks.
- Greenery – Adding plants is a great way to add some filler to your home. This can be live plants, but it is usually better for the long term if you go with very realistic fake plants. This can be vines along the mantel and more.
- Shelving or Shiplap Wall – Your filler doesn’t have to be on the mantel. It can be the walls above or around the fireplace. Consider building some shelves that surround the fireplace and are embedded in the wall at the same depth to show off your book collection. You can also just do a simple shiplap wall or combine the two, depending on your layout.
- Figurines – This is a good opportunity if you have some small figurines that mean a lot to you. Again, keep in mind that less is more.
- Other Collectibles – If there are any other types of collectibles, consider displaying them on your mantel.
Contemporary Fireplace – Before furnishing or adding decorative details, determine a color scheme. It should reflect your home decor style as well as your personal aesthetic. For example, a room with a contemporary style is more interesting by virtue of variety and contrast. To achieve that effect, select a paint color that contrasts with your bright white or warm wood mantel.
In the above photo, the choice of interior designs features a dark blue paint for the walls of the room. The contrast brings out the bold lines of the fireplace and provides a crisp backdrop for the mantel display.
White Fireplace – Another approach to home decor is more of a monochrome background with colorful accents. This often has a sleek, modern fireplace style that is understated, elegant and chic:
Take the monochrome theme a bit further by dedicating the entire wall to it. Built-in white shelving on either side of the fireplace provides a luxury craftsman appearance with early 20th-century charm.
You can infuse your white fireplace wall with some splashes of color that create a contemporary effect. For example, display a vignette of colorful collectibles on shelves of different heights. Be sure to intersperse them with white and off-white accents.
Wow with Wainscotting – If you want to skip the monochrome look for something a bit more eye-catching, consider adding wainscotting. Achieve a modern effect with a wainscoting design that echoes the look of the fireplace surround.
Traditional half-wall wainscotting with a chair rail compliments the classic lines of the MagikFlame Morpheus model. When finished with white paint, the wainscotting ties the fireplace into the room, making it look like a built-in.
On the walls above, use a neutral tone of paint. It should not match the white but should not be a stark contrast. A smoother transition between design elements has a relaxing, calming effect that makes people comfortable.
Understated Elegance – Every MagikFlame furniture-quality fireplace surround features classic design elements. You can amplify the elegance of your living room styling by letting the surround speak for itself.
A round mirror above the mantel should reflect well on your decorating scheme. The shape, size, and frame of the mirror can make a variety of style statements.
Whether you want to establish a vintage, minimalist, or art-deco mantel decor theme, the right mirror speaks volumes. A few well-placed objets d’art on the mantelpiece further reinforce your desired effect.
If you like, add a coordinating fireplace screen. It will tie into your fireplace during the rare times you aren’t using it.
Christmas Trimmings Fireplace – The white, glossy finish of the surround and fireplace mantle coordinate with the carpet and wall color. When you add colorful accents, you can create a lovely DIY seasonal mantel decor display.
One great feature of a MagikFlame electric fireplace is that you can arrange decorations right on top and to the sides without any fire risk. The radiant infrared heating element inside the firebox does not raise the outer temperature into the danger zone.
Therefore, you can place your television right on the fireplace mantel without fear of heat damage. Since everyone will be turned toward the cozy fireplace anyway, it’s quite convenient to have your TV up above.
For the same reason, your seasonal display will garner plenty of attention on and around the fireplace. Make the most of the warmth and crackling sounds of your MagikFlame with a cozy, traditional Christmas display. Here are some seasonal fireplace decor ideas to try.
It’s always smart to start your mantel decor by covering the surface with a protective layer that also keys into your decor ideas. For this one, a deep red or forest green runner will work great.
First, place your centerpiece in the middle of the mantel, slightly toward the back. The centerpiece should be taller than your other elements and make a statement that speaks to the theme of your display.
Since it’s the holidays, an appropriate centerpiece could be:
- A large poinsettia plant (real or faux)
- A grouping of pillar candles in metallic holders of different heights
- A vase with branches that you’ve sprayed with metallic paint (similar to the photo)
- A small, decorated tree
If you want to replicate the lovely backlit glow you see in the photo above, conceal an LED shelf light behind the centerpiece.
To each side of the centerpiece, extend a holiday garland of evergreens to the ends of the mantel. Add some candles and holiday accents, beginning with two taller items on either side of the centerpiece.
Add pairs of similar-sized objects on each side as you move toward the ends. These could be candles, snow-related items, or other mantel decorating ideas. Finally, in front of the centerpiece, place a few colorful ball ornaments, a miniature nativity scene, or some other small grouping.
You can also add floor decorations near the fireplace, such as the trees in the photo. Other fun accents, like a sign with an arrow to the North Pole or a medium-to-large Santa figure, would also bring holiday cheer. As you decorate, more fireplace decor ideas will spring to mind as well.
Victorian Romance Fireplace – Create a romantic Victorian-style display for your anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or just because you love the vintage vibe. The Morpheus MagikFlame model has the strong, classic lines that contrast beautifully with the soft curves of your romantic design.
Protect the mantel with a length of vintage lace or linen. Hang a gilt-framed mirror on the wall above.
Position a centerpiece, such as a vase of dried flowers like the roses pictured above, slightly to the side of the centerline. Then move outward from the vessel toward each side of the mantel, placing items such as:
- White or blush candlesticks in crystal candle holders
- Victorian-era photos in small ornate frames
- A pair of antique dolls in vintage clothing
- Stacks of two or three small books with gold embossed covers
- Wire-rimmed eyeglasses
- Floral teacups and saucers
- Dried floral nosegays
- Satin ribbons
Fill in any empty areas with strands of pearls, baby’s breath, and silk stems of greenery. If the décor is in honor of your anniversary, use pictures of yourselves rather than Victorian ladies.
Rustic Farmhouse Fireplace Décor – A couple of other great fireplace decor ideas are to place your MagikFlame against a red brick wall or a natural stone wall. Both white and cherry wood surrounds would look fabulous.
A MagikFlame insert in a stone fireplace or brick fireplace has an appealing rustic quality. It’s a good platform for a farmhouse fireplace look that coordinates well with rustic farmhouse furnishings and paint colors.
Adopt the charm and character of the farmhouse style by taking a cue from the photo. Distressed wood collectibles, shabby chic accents, and used brick red and earthy tones are a few of your style-defining features.
On the wall above the mantel, try a distressed wood four-pane window frame. A vintage crock, a milk can, or a cream pitcher would each make an interesting centerpiece. Fill it with dried sunflowers, stalks of wheat, lavender stems, or all three.
If you want to use candles, place them in hurricane lamps, glass milk bottles, or vintage mason jars. Other fireplace decor ideas include:
- Wood or ceramic rooster
- Various-sized wicker baskets
- Wire egg basket
- Wooden apples, pumpkins, eggs
- Gingham mantel runner
- An old-fashioned scale
- Old farm or seed ads mounted on wood boards
- Kitchen implements like a whisk, a rotary eggbeater, a flour sifter
Fill the mantel, keeping a good balance of larger to smaller-sized items.
Rustic Wood Mantel – Electric fireplaces stand out for their realistic flames and the different features they include to make them easy to use when you’re working with an architect or home builder to remodel your house or build a new home. Many of the fireplaces come with mantels to create a built-in look that is decorative and eye-catching. If you want to create a contemporary look, it’s important to know which modern electric fireplaces match rustic fireplace mantels.
Which Electric Fireplaces Match Rustic Fireplace Mantels?
28″ Insert: Most versatile fireplace. Surround and mantel can be custom-designed.
The MagikFlame 28 Inch Fireplace Insert is one of the most popular fireplace inserts available in the industry and pairs well with different fireplace mantels, including a rustic floating shelf or a matte wood fireplace mantle. The 30 realistic flames can trick the eye into thinking there’s a real wood burning in the fireplace, contributing to the overall look of the rustic mantel.
The Masterflame 36” Fireplace Insert is another option that has faux wood logs with brick details, pairing beautifully with rustic mantels and a farmhouse floating shelf to ensure they become the focal point in the room. The insert comes with three flame colors and five levels of flame intensity. Two energy-saving heating options are also available to reduce the cost to operate the feature.
The insert has a rustic design with realistic wood logs in the firebox, as well as a brick design on each side of the firebox. The flames look like they’re present in the front of the logs, as well as behind them, to create the look of a real wood-burning fireplace that looks gorgeous with a live edge mantel.How to Avoid Safety Issues with Your Fireplace ?
MagikFlame is safe for children.
Electric inserts are designed to be safe to operate because they have a lot of safety features and don’t use real fire, which prevents them from heating a fireplace mantel overhead. It’s still important to practice a few safety tips to ensure the product doesn’t encounter any issues as it’s in use.
Never plug electric inserts into an extension cord when you place it at a distance from an electrical outlet. Always place it within reach of an outlet to avoid fires that can occur. It’s also important to keep all cords and wires hidden behind the fireplace to prevent animals or kids from tampering with the electrical components. Carefully inspect the parts when you remove them from the packaging to ensure everything is in good shape. Contact the manufacturer or retailer if you notice frayed or punctured wires.How to Install Your New Fireplace Insert ?
Once your new fireplace arrives at your home, you can enjoy having a smooth and simple installation process. The installation process requires a lot fewer steps compared to installing a gas or wood fireplace. You don’t need to install any vents, which means you can place it almost anywhere in the home. They should be in proximity to electrical outlets and not too close to other furniture items to ensure they stand out and don’t make the space look too crowded.
If you don’t have a lot of space available, you can opt for a corner fireplace, which is easy to tuck away into one of the corners of the room. You can still install a mantel shelf with two pieces placed together.
You don’t have to make any alterations to the building to install your new fireplace and can have it ready to use on the same day that it arrives on your porch. The plug-in design also makes it easy to hook up in seconds rather than hardwiring any of the components and hiring a professional electrician. Some fireplace inserts require a small amount of hardwiring, but this doesn’t take long and can increase your home’s value once it’s in place. They also pair well with a fireplace mantel overhead, whether you prefer a wood beam or a Shenandoah or Alder fireplace mantel on a brick fireplace for a one-of-a-kind look.
Learning about each mantel shelf available can allow you to make the fireplace the centerpiece of the room and allow the fireplace mantel shelf to complement your home decor. A faux wood floating shelf or solid wood barn beam mantel will work well with different materials and can complement the interior design of the setting.Why Electric Inserts are Safer to Operate ?
MagikFlame is not only the most beautiful choice, it is also the safest.
Electric fireplace inserts are known to be safe and easy to operate compared to gas or wood fireplaces with real flames. They’re less likely to cause a fire in the house and don’t have any ebers that can land on your floating mantel or fireplace surround. This means you don’t need to purchase a fireplace screen to protect the surrounding materials.
You have the freedom to display decor items or furniture pieces a few feet from the fireplace without the risk of your belongings catching on fire. The panel and glass doors also stay cool to the touch on the fireplace to ensure no one burns themselves, especially kids and pets in the home. You don’t have to worry about anyone getting too close to the feature as it’s operating.
There also aren’t any harmful chemicals, contaminants, or byproducts that are produced because wood and gas aren’t used as the fuel source. You can prevent your family from being exposed to carbon monoxide. You also won’t increase your risk of developing cancer in the future because of the byproducts you’re exposed to with a wood fireplace. When the fireplace is installed, you don’t need to spend money installing carbon monoxide detectors in different rooms of the house for added savings and convenience.
This type of fireplace allows you to have peace of mind and confidence in protecting your family’s health. The fireplace won’t trigger asthma, respiratory issues, and sinus problems, or allergies when you spend time enjoying the heat. You also don’t need to remember to open the flue or vent on the chimney to allow any smoke to be released outside. Many homeowners fail to open the flue at times, which can cause the smoke to infiltrate the indoor air in the building, which contaminates the air quality and can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. This is never a risk because smoke isn’t produced with electric inserts.
Electric inserts also don’t generate a lot of noise when their internal components are in use. You can place it in your living room without turning the volume on the TV up or place an electric fireplace in a dining room and still enjoy making conversation with your family members or guests. Electric inserts are virtually silent when you turn them on each time and won’t require trying to heater over the blower or motor each time you enjoy having a fire.
By knowing which inserts pair well with a wood fireplace mantel or a DIY rough-sawn floating shelf, it can create a beautiful design. You can display your favorite items on the shelving to ensure the fireplace mantel shelf stands out and draws more attention to the feature.Other Ways to Style Your Electric Fireplace
MagikFlame is the best choice for gorgeous and seasonal interior design Not only can you make your fireplace inserts stand out when you pair them with rustic fireplace mantels, but there are additional ways to style the feature to make it stand out. Start by decorating the base of the fireplace to ensure it looks decorative from top to bottom. Add a woven basket, which works with different styles of homes and can be filled with throw pillows, blankets, or even a plant. Wood logs can also be added to make the fireplace look real. You can also place a small wood stool or pouf at the base of the fireplace to make it look like a cozy part of the living room.
Building a new surround for the electric insert is also an option to add a bit of drama and make it look like it’s a wood-burning fireplace. Fortunately, this project is simple and easy to complete without needing any carpentry skills. The one-piece frame will sit on the wall and will block any of the heat from the fireplace from having contact with nearby materials or objects on display. The different materials to use on your surround include wood, concrete, and even brick.
Most people create a wood surround to create a traditional, classy style in the home. This requires using wood screws, pocket screws, and woodgrain trim. Start by building the frame with the use of plywood boards. Cover the base to enhance its stability and support provided. Any spots where there’s excess trim should be trimmed to make the design look seamless and professional. The wood filler should also be used on any nailhead holes. It’s also necessary to sand down all spots where the joints meet. Use a vacuum cleaner or broom to clean up any sawdust messes.
You can now add a coat of primer to the materials before applying paint. Allow each coat to dry for a few hours before applying the next coat. The finish now needs to be applied to ensure the paint is protected and doesn’t get scuffed up in the coming years as you have contact with the fireplace.
Many people also want to create a rustic, farmhouse looks on their surround, which pairs well with rustic fireplace mantels. Laminate floorboards can be used on the outside of the surround to make it look like a real shiplap. You can achieve a farmhouse style that makes it look like real reclaimed wood is used on your new fireplace. This will look beautiful with a rustic wood mantel or a rustic floating fireplace mantel.
There are also a variety of rustic mantels to select from, whether you want a hand-hewn wood mantel with corbels, a driftwood wooden mantel, or a barn wood floating shelf. Pine wood is another popular material to select for your wood shelf and can have a chunky design with beautiful craftsmanship with hand-hewn corbels underneath. The wood grain will have imperfections for added character and will pair beautifully with a stone fireplace for your living space.
Best Ways to Care for Your Fireplace
Fortunately, the low-maintenance design of electric inserts makes them a lot easier to use and operate over time compared to a wood fireplace with a fireplace mantel. The lack of wood burned in the fireplace prevents any ashes from forming, which means you don’t have to clean anything up every time you enjoy a fire. Annual chimney sweeps also aren’t required.
Routine cleanings are only necessary once or twice a year, depending on how much dust forms on the faux wood logs in the fireplace. Use a clean cloth to wipe everything down and make it look new again. Stick to using a small amount of water to make the cloth damp instead of using harsh cleaners, which are known to take the finish off the materials.
You can also expect the light bulbs to burn out at times, requiring replacing them, which is a simple and easy task to perform. If the fireplace insert has halogen bulbs, the lights will last about two years before they start to burn out, depending on how often you use the feature. Fireplaces with LED lights can last up to 11 years before they need to be replaced. Put gloves on before you replace the bulbs to avoid contact with the glass parts, which can affect the bulbs’ lifespan and cause them to become dimmer from the oil on your hands.
You may also want to hire a professional to inspect all the parts once each year to ensure everything is in good working order. An electrician will be capable of checking the mechanisms of the parts and can spot areas where some of the parts are worn or damaged. They’ll even apply a small amount of lubricant to make everything operate smoother without grinding.
Tips to Find the Best Fireplace for Your Needs
MagikFlame’s 28″ Insert is ideal for a rustic interior design style because you can customize the surround. As a consumer, you likely want to purchase the best fireplace in the industry to ensure it meets your needs and lasts long-term. Conducting thorough research is necessary to ensure you discover all the models available from different manufacturers.
You also want to think about how much space you have in your home or office to ensure the fireplace fits. Each model has different dimensions and doesn’t always fit in smaller settings. A wall-recessed electric fireplace insert can work well in an entryway or dining room where there are fewer square feet available. A freestanding fireplace with a mantel shelf will work better in a living room or bedroom.
Reading online reviews will also make your shopping experience easier if you’re overwhelmed by the different options available. This will allow you to hear from customers and get their honest insight about what they like or dislike about specific fireplace models. They may include video clips or pictures with their review. You can find MagikFlame reviews directly on their website or on Amazon where the inserts are sold.
Browsing through the MagikFlame electric fireplace buying guide is also helpful when you want to read more about each option. Every fireplace includes a 5,200 BTU heater, allowing it to heat larger rooms and floors. The 30 flames on the screen also create the most realistic look. Many consumers also enjoy the crackling log sounds you can hear as the flames dance on the screen to ensure it creates the ultimate experience of sitting by the fire.
Mantel Styling When You’re Selling Your Home
A fireplace mantle is the perfect focal point for people to see when they walk into your home. Fireplace mantels instantly add an interesting residential architecture element to the room. It can set the perfect welcoming mood for the entire tour that potential buyers will be taking around your home. To get the most out of the experience, you’ll want the fire to be on when people come to see your house. The sight of a roaring fire will instantly make people feel comfortable and cozy.
