Anatomy of a Mantel
illustrated by Meagan Russell | photography by Kelly Moore Clark | Styled by Taylor Bennett
Gorgeous botanicals add interest to a mantel, and this
large piece works perfectly in the background.
Include interesting artwork, or pieces that are meaningful to your family.

Anchor the design of your mantle/fireplace with large vases
When the fireplace isn’t burning,
add a cozy glow with canisters used as candle holders.
Include vases on the mantle to display something organic.
