Many homes either come with a slightly old-fashioned mantelpiece that really doesn’t fit into a modern day space. However, a fire or log burner is a lovely feature in a room, so the easiest alteration to make is to the mantel. Oak and wooden mantels look classy yet also elegant, so the look will stand the test of time. There’s no danger of oak going out of fashion any time soon.
Some of the best options are to have a wooden mantel handmade for you. It will then be made to the correct dimensions of the room, making it completely bespoke. You can choose from different kinds of woods, and they will all have a unique and individual grain, so nobody’s mantelpiece is ever going to look exactly the same as yours. Talk to the company where you purchase your mantels to see if they also offer a design service.
