To accessorize over a mantle, think “less is more” If it has too many items it will feel like clutter. |
To accessorize over the mantle or hutch, make sure the accessories…..
- are large enough for the area (most important, especially if you have tall ceilings)
- are unique – after all, it’s the focal point! Do they drag your house down or take it up a notch?
- vary in texture and sheen, height and scale
- if it’s a mirror, make sure the reflection is a nice view – not of an ugly ceiling fan that you dislike!
- can change with the seasons

In Progress Find accessories which are large enough !! Above bookcase – anything smaller than the 28″ pottery would seem too small. A large antique trunk would be a nice addition beside the plant |

Pottery, wood, & books, think variety when adding accessories the same would apply to bookshelves |

This hutch felt too short for the tall ceilings, the 32″ tall accessories solved it. They draw the eye up so you appreciate the beautiful molding on the ceiling. |
