The wall above a mantel is the ideal place to hang a wonderful piece of framed or canvas art. Mantel art is a collection of hand-picked prints that we think would look stunning over a mantelpiece. At the end of the day, framed mantel art is very subjective and what appeals to one person may not to another. There are some guidelines you can follow to make the selection process easier. First and foremost, consider the size of the mantel and height of the space above it. If you have a narrow mantel but have height in the wall, choose artwork with a portrait orientation. Conversely, if the mantel is wide and the height low, choose art with a landscape orientation. Next, consider the style and colors of the room and pick artwork that will complement the decor. FramedArt.com’s collection of mantel art has a variety of styles including modern, contemporary, country, classical, traditional, photography and vintage with a good choice of colors so you should be able to find the perfect piece for your home.
Landscape art with beautiful scenery of gorgeous
coastal vistas, peaceful
forest scenes and
countryside views are a popular theme for mantel art. Floral prints with flowers or trees are also a good choice as is
abstract artwork.
A room’s décor can be freshened up each season by swapping out the artwork above your mantel to reflect the season -
snowy landscapes for the winter, colorful
scenic florals in spring, beach themed art for summer and
autumn landscapes in the fall.
