Mantels are an ideal focal point for spaces both
large and small. Every project from gentle upgrades in a ranch to
a full gut renovation in your townhouse can be beautified by adding
a fireplace mantel to your interior design plan.
Today's design options highlighting fireplace
mantels vary from traditional motifs to a mélange of styles.
Picture distressed faux wood touches in a vaulted modern space.
Or simple clean lines to contrast with formal furnishings. Modern
mantels may be flanked by bold lithographs in Italian clip frames,
large color photos of your exotic vacation or faux river stones.
The space beneath a mantel may also be used to
add interest to a room, particularly if the traditional accessories
such as wrought iron fire tools and stacks of logs are not part
of your decorating plan. Consider large decorative pieces such as
pottery in striking colors, ceiling panels or textured walls, such
as faux sand or faux bamboo. Very simple changes can bring an inspired
touch that will fit within just about any budget and save you the
trouble of traveling half way around the world to finish your rooms!
Whether the walls or the floor becomes the focus,
the mantel itself adds a richness and texture to every design possibility.
By contrasting other interior details in the room, such as brightly
painted, lacquered or wall-papered walls, what surrounds your mantels
influences the mantel's look as much as what is displayed on it — if
anything at all.
Whether adding a real or faux wood mantel, every
product we offer is easy to install and a fine compliment to our
design products. Our real wood mantels are a great match for all
of our real wood and faux wood beam product lines. How you prep,
paint, or stain them to compliment and create your interior's style
is up to you. The stunning Arcadia line
features elegant raised grain. Arcadia mantels are an excellent
compliment to faux wood beams' raised
grain, sandblasted, Woodland, Mesa,
and Windswept beams. Consider
an Arcadia mantel in your chic country French bedrooms, Federal
style great room, or turn-of-the-century parlor.
Equally beautiful and designed to compliment Timber, Rustic and Tahoe
faux wood beams, the Yosemite mantel
adds beauty and natural charm to the kitchen, New England inn and
any winter hideaway. Whether displaying your decoy collection, grandmother's
watercolors or the children's Christmas stockings, the Arcadia and
Yosemite mantels appeal year-round. They are ready to ship and arrive
unfinished. Both the Arcadia and Yosemite style are constructed
from hearty Douglas Fir pine trees. |
