In the last few years, this look has been quite popular &#8211; it&#8217;s even been trending on social media. Thanks to designer Joanna Gaines of the popular house decor show <em>Fixer Upper<\/em>, the farmhouse look has been all the rage. (you can find her <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/about\/Homebody.html?id=0tdWDwAAQBAJ&amp;source=kp_book_description\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">farmhouse books<\/a> and wares at Target and Amazon.)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key to styling your farmhouse mantel is to pair decor that doesn&#8217;t seem too &#8220;matchy-matchy&#8221;. This style is incredibly approachable and your decor pieces should feel worn or &#8220;lived in&#8221;. Rusted irons, unfinished or stripped wood, and scuffed leathers add authenticity to this look!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to artwork, think vintage signs, sketchy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/what-is-line-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">line art<\/a>, and chalkboard art.

Give your space a sense of a wild and warm retreat with cozy textures like plaids and rough leathers. Adding neutral-tone candles and woodsy attributes like deer antlers to your mantel creates a relaxed appeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When considering a color palette &#8211; draw your inspiration from nature. Deep sage greens, gray-blues, and rich browns bring your cabin oasis <em>down-to-earth<\/em>. For a pop of color and play, try incorporating muted earth tones with brighter elements like an orange wool-knit runner, or brightly colored flowers from the garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend framing camp flags\/pennants, national park postcards, and wild animal portraits to fully encapsulate your wooden wonder! The following frames are perfect for adding a retro feel to any art piece or cabin camp memorabilia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" data-id=\"16912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Derby__Russet.jpg\" alt=\"Derby Frame in Russet\" class=\"wp-image-16912\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Derby__Russet.jpg 490w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Derby__Russet-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Derby Frame in Russet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" data-id=\"16458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Dayton__Umber.jpg\" alt=\"Dayton Frame in Umber\" class=\"wp-image-16458\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Dayton__Umber.jpg 490w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Dayton__Umber-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dayton Frame in Umber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" data-id=\"16911\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Derby__Hazel.jpg\" alt=\"Derby Frame in Hazel\" class=\"wp-image-16911\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Derby__Hazel.jpg 490w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Derby__Hazel-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Derby Frame in Hazel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Fireplace Mantel Decor Ideas: Rustic Cabin Frame Styles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"%f0%9f%92%a5-major-mantel-statement\">\ud83d\udca5 Major Mantel Statement <\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Jennifer_Everhart_@ourcarolinanest_001-700x933.jpg\" alt=\"Fireplace Mantel Decor Ideas: Major Mantel Statement \" class=\"wp-image-16892\" style=\"width:525px;height:700px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Jennifer_Everhart_@ourcarolinanest_001-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Jennifer_Everhart_@ourcarolinanest_001-960x1280.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Jennifer_Everhart_@ourcarolinanest_001-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Jennifer_Everhart_@ourcarolinanest_001-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Jennifer_Everhart_@ourcarolinanest_001-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Jennifer_Everhart_@ourcarolinanest_001-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking to make a bold statement or use your space to its absolute maximum, go for a large art piece focal point and accessorize with smaller decor around it (think glass vases, books, etc.). A fireplace is a common place for family gatherings and get-togethers, so why not display a memory dear to you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A large <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/create-your-family-tree-with-frame-it-easy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">family tree<\/a> or photo would be a fantastic reminder of the loved ones you have around you. You can even bring other large pieces into the mix. Framed mirrors add an illusion of more open floor space, and framed wall art shows off your artistic taste.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&#8217;re hanging above your fireplace or leaning your framed works on your mantle display, we&#8217;ve selected the following frames to add a touch of class and personality to your large works &#8211; without taking any attention away: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" data-id=\"16915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Hanover__Satin_Gold.jpg\" alt=\"Hanover Frame in Satin Gold\" class=\"wp-image-16915\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Hanover__Satin_Gold.jpg 490w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Hanover__Satin_Gold-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hanover Frame in Satin Gold<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" data-id=\"11342\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Granby__Gold-700x700.jpg\" alt=\"Granby Frame in Gold\" class=\"wp-image-11342\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Granby__Gold-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Granby__Gold.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Granby__Gold-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Granby Frame in Gold<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Fireplace Mantel Decor Ideas: Major Mantel Frame Styles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"%f0%9f%aa%9eminimalist-mantel-space\">\ud83e\ude9eMinimalist Mantel Space<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Meghan_Crowell_@rainbootsandrenovations_002-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"Fireplace Mantel Decor Ideas: Minimalist Mantel Space\" class=\"wp-image-16894\" style=\"width:700px;height:525px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Meghan_Crowell_@rainbootsandrenovations_002-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Meghan_Crowell_@rainbootsandrenovations_002-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Meghan_Crowell_@rainbootsandrenovations_002-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Meghan_Crowell_@rainbootsandrenovations_002-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Meghan_Crowell_@rainbootsandrenovations_002-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve got a beautiful fireplace and want to keep the focus solely on it, feel out a minimalist space. Minimalism can make a busy and stressful life seem simple and free, so naturally, the decor for this style should bring a feeling of peace and tranquility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to color, we recommend sticking with the tried and true whites, beiges, and off-grays to give your space a fresh and clean feeling. Adding white pillar candles or twinkling fairy lights can add warmth to the room in the summer months when you&#8217;re not enjoying a lit fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep it uncomplicated with your pieces of art. Your main visual interest should reflect your space, so consider going with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/framing-minimalistic-modern-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">minimalist framed prints<\/a> like basic geometric patterns.

Dusting and cleaning a mantel display is no fun, we totally get it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since going with one big bold piece, you&#8217;re going to want art that will draw the eye in. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/what-is-maximalism-art-and-why-should-your-frame-it-for-your-space\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maximalism art<\/a> is the best bet!
