How to Choose Fireplace Mantels

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Mark Fjord

When choosing fireplace mantels, it is important to first consider a number of factors. Although the fireplace itself is a good focal point in any home that elevates its beauty and elegance, choosing the right mantel would definitely heighten its beauty value. The good news is that with the amount of mantel types to choose on nowadays, finding the perfect one for any home decor is no longer as hard as it used to be. Following are some of the consideration every homeowner should make prior to purchase

Mantel Material

Fireplace mantels are constructed from different materials ranging from wood, marble, stone, metal and bricks. Each one works well with a particular room decor. For example, the wood blend in best with rooms that exudes the traditional rustic look while the marble tends to go with the more formal decor. Metal works best in a contemporary setting while the bricks are best for a cosy feel. Hence, since the fireplace would be a focal point in the house, it is best to make sure that it complements the other designs rather than detracts from it.

Mantel Design

The material is very different from the actual design of fireplace mantels. Designs are usually inspired from previous time periods like Victorian or Early American. Like the materials used, the designs themselves are meant to compliment the main theme of the room. Rustic designs are usually best done on wood for a more cosy feeling.

Measurement

The mantel is meant to be wider than the fireplace itself but not too wide that it would span a large portion of the room. More often than not, the mantel should only work as a frame of the fireplace in order to accentuate this home feature. For best results, homeowners should try researching various fireplace mantel designs and length in order to get the most common measurements used.

Contractors

Looking for the perfect people to build a mantel usually takes time and patience on the homeowner's part. For one thing, there are different businesses offering this service and it is best to first ask around before actually settling on one. Estimating possible expenses is also vital if one would want to save on money while still getting a good looking design for a room.

When planning fireplace mantels, the most ideal approach would be long term planning and researching in order to get the best design and prices. More often than not, people who are bent on home improvement rush the projects, making results look unsatisfactory when finished. Hence, like many other projects, this should be well planned and unrushed for it to look its best.

Fireplace mantels are meant to be the focal point of a room and is usually the direction most people turn to when attempting to relax. Hence, it only makes sense that the same not only feels good but also looks good in order to feel the full impact of the setting. As an aesthetic addition to a home, this home improvement decision is definitely a good one.
