We rarely talk about what to do with your mantel after the holidays. Yet, even when the fireplace is no longer in use, the mantel still remains a focal point in your interior. Here are some beautiful mantel displays that will remain glamorous even in the off-season.

Art above the fireplace makes an interesting focal point whether the fire is roaring or not. Go for even more glamor and put up some graphic wallpaper as a surprising backdrop.

If your fireplace is no longer being used to burn wood, use it for some creative storage. Books, magazines, and storage baskets can be beautifully displayed.
