There are so many different options when it comes to fireplace mantels, including concrete, rustic looking, and stone designs. If you have a mantel you love, or you are looking to transform the look of your fireplace, you might be thinking about what to place on top of it, or how else to decorate it.

The following are some ideas for how to decorate your fireplace mantel:

• Candles on the mantel shelf, or in tall sticks on the floor on either side
