Decorating corner mantle

10 years ago

Suggestions for this type of mantle?? The ceiling is 9'..do I need something with a lot of height? If I use art or a mirror, will it look ok to simply lean it against the corner? Thank you...

If you lean a mirror it will reflect the ceiling - not something you want to double. Search the box above under Photos for corner fireplace. Maybe you'll find some inspiration.

Hi, Could you add a pic of the lounge area outside bedrooms? There seem to be too many palettes of colours within furniture from white tv cabinet to dark brown book shelf to light brown dining to black/blue/beige sitting pieces. Tie up sitting by adding few cushions in possibly black/white/blue combo. Extend sitting area of living through the entire span of AC wall. You need a larger rug for this space. Angle dining table between 30 to 45 degrees with long length between detached counter corner to bookshelf end towards lounge. This will add the flow to lounge. Add a table runner along the centre of the long length. You need larger artwork pics or a collection of art pieces on living room wall behind beige sofa. Lounge can have a console and wall with a composition of family picture frames to personalise space. Remove blue artwork in the last pic. Instead, you can add a composition of wall shelves with artefacts on them or wall hooks with hanging artefacts. Rugs, table lamps, floor lamps and few bold decorative pieces will add the required warmth. A round centre table in the living room can be good.

What do you think of a mirror for the backsplash on the kitchen? You cant see the pic here, but it faces a huge window on the other side of the room. I love the idea of grey/ dark cabinets, (with a wood coloured surface worktop) but might cost a small fortune to rework it. Will check on prices. The wallpaper idea is also really nice - much to mull through. so hard to decide! I'm thinking of replacing the dining table set with a booth + round table seating and maybe add a mirror behind it space. Not sure if i can fit a whole L booth into the dining space and still fit in a table, so might just settle for a booth on one side.

Hi. It's looking really good and you've done well with the bookshelves! ! I love the new sofa! I would say just a tad more yellow if your husband can bear it, doesn't have to be solid yellow. I'd add something else on the left shelves (I'd move one shelf of photos to the right hand shelving and swap for some books), maybe a ginger jar if you can get an old one. Maybe a patterned throw or cushion for your wooden chair and a small yellow throw for the bench just draped over the corner. Table idea sounds great. Are you happy with it? I think it's made such a big difference

Hi Ellie, You may wish to consider a painted brick wall! The white brick finish is playful and stylish. And since it's a painted finish, it has the added advantage of being able to go over the recessed walls and ducting, to ensure a cohesive look. Do contact me at dominic@performancecoatings.com.sg to find out more. We would love to collaborate with you on changing up your son's room! All the best!

I think I would have it framed in all the way to the ceiling with some striking woodwork and mantle.

Don't do anything. Draw your attention away from the corner. Taller artwork on the mantel, not above it. Once you fill your room the corner will go away.

Love the room. Great ceiling and floors. good job on paint. Firepl can be tricky. I would do tall pots 3 in various heights and size. Put on one corner, I like yellow with gray, but could go orange, teal, mix with one black, and white. Put another type decor item on other end. Don't over do. Find something interesting. If by the sea a seashell very large on top of 3 small books would add interest. Not sure of your style. This room could anyway you want. Match accessories to yr style. Big 40" art pieces on walls n either side. Placement would depend on furn in room. Big palms in a ceramic pot on shorter wall would work. Ikea has some great art, and pots. A area rug, even a cow hide would work in front of fireplace. Ikea has. You have great taste, room looks wonderful. Have fun.

I think a tv would be great there too...............you have plenty of wall space for some beautiful artwork on the other walls because of where the fireplace is.
Either that, or get a corner cabinet built with doors on it for storage or pretties. making it look like all one piece.

I would put a bright piece of art in the corner there. Also, I would add some white frames..

I wouldn't go too tall or grand because it is a smaller scaled fireplace and it will cause it to look to top heavy. Instead of thinking big, think something smaller scaled but with a lot of detail and interest so it doesn't get lost in the corner.

Consider boxing it in so that it is parallel with the fireplace front. You could also extend the brick up the wall. Hang a chandelier above it or sculpture.
