Fireplace mantel decor - help!

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I'd like to refresh the decor on my mantel, but I'm a little clueless. I'd like something with blue/ green to help make it look a little more updated. The fireplace is very wide and I just don't know what decor would help balance it. Pic below of

what I currently have (excuse the mess on the right).

Thanks!

    Why not a great piece of art . reflecting the ceiling is not my idea of wonderful getting rid of the stuff piled up on the side would be an improvement and honestly if you want help in a space show the whole space.
