Dilemma: Lacks focusSolution: Supersize your accessories.Bitty little candles, vases and knickknacks lose impact when spread throughout the room. Instead, choose large-scale mirrors and art, and chunky vases and objets d'art. If your room has a fireplace (working or not), it is a natural focal point, so be sure to place a few accessories there (a group of three works well) and a mirror above to reflect light.A note on fireplaces: If you have a working fireplace, keep a neat stack of wood nearby and it will feel all the more cozy, even when a fire isn't lit. If you have a nonworking fireplace, try filling it to the brim with cut wood, books (pages facing out, not spines) or a cluster of hurricane lanterns.

Here's a clever way to display your firewood in the summer: Fill your entire fireplace with wood. It provides a very natural and practical use of the space during the off season.

For a perfectly styled mantel, create a balanced and curated composition. We see only a tall flower vase, a round mirror and a small cluster of objects here. That trio offers a strong geometry, with different shapes arranged to form a larger triangle and an organic feel. Yet the mantel is edited, and the objects are carefully presented. Extra points for the stacked firewood below.Your turn: Please share your postholiday mantel with us in the Comments section below.
