Shelf Mantel
Fireplace Mantles or Fireplace Mantels?
Technically, using the word mantle instead of mantel for your fireplace is still correct. In architecture, you can use both terms to describe a shelf protruding from the wall above your fireplace, although mantel is the more common usage. Because the word mantle has so many other meanings it makes it easier when you are searching the internet to find websites that will help answer your questions about your home if you search for "fireplace mantel" instead of "fireplace mantle."
Why "Fireplace Mantles" can be Confusing
Because mantle has many other meanings, you will find it on lots of other websites that have little to do with your home. Mantle, at its simplest, means anything that covers, such as a "mantle of frost" or a "mantle of dust." Science websites use the term mantle often because it is also the word for the layer between the core and the crust of the Earth and comprises about 70% of the Earth's volume. Because mantle and mantel are interchangeable in architecture, it's easier for home oriented websites to use mantel.
Tips for Fireplace Mantels
* Finding - Knowing what you're looking for can help you narrow down your search for a fireplace mantel. You have a wide range of options, including stone fireplace mantels, wood fireplace mantels, rustic fireplace mantels, antique fireplace mantels, and more. Make sure that the style of your mantel complements your décor. Do not purchase a regular shelf to hang above your fireplace, as it may not be able to withstand the heat from the fire below.
* Cleaning - You can wipe most mantels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. You can also use wood cleaner on wood and you can wax both wood and stone to preserve their finishes. Just be sure to clean your mantel when the fireplace and mantel are cold because some waxes and cleaners are flammable.
* Decorating - The most important thing to remember when decorating your fireplace mantel is to be careful not to put anything likely to melt or catch fire on it. Candles should definitely be in holders to prevent drips onto your mantel or hearth.
Fireplace mantels can be a lovely focal point in your home if properly chosen, cared for, and decorated. Whether you're installing a brand new fireplace or remodeling your home, you can start looking at your mantel options today.
Fireplace Mantel Décor and Accessories
Most people only think about fireplace mantel décor during the winter holidays, when they're likely to pull out all the stops to make it gorgeous. But why decorate your mantel for one month of the year and leave it bland the rest of the time? Your fireplace is a focal point of the living room, and the mantel should be decorated accordingly.
Fireplace Accessories
In addition to the fireplace mantel itself, the largest décor elements will be the fireplace screen and tool set. Those two elements should complement the mantel as well as the overall look of the room. Once you have those in place, you can begin to choose the décor items to hang above the mantel or set inside the fireplace.
Possible choices include fireplace candelabras to place inside the fireplace instead of logs and andirons. Most people hang a painting or mirror over the mantel. Some people hang plasma TVs in that space, but you have to be careful about the wall temperature. If your wall gets too hot, you could destroy the TV.

Needing Idea's to decorate my Fireplace Mantel and book Shelf?
Im sure to most this is an easy question, but I am lost. I have so many Christmas decorations and now that everything is gone all my shelf's are bare, I had pictures on them before but I am looking for other inexpensive decorating Idea's. If you have any idea's, please let me know..thanks
I am not sure how big is the wall that holds the fireplace. But you can try hanging a tapestry on the wall, and place a mantel clock or a few vases on the mantel.
