On top of the ambiance and warmth, a fireplace gives a mantel a reason for being. Mantels are under-appreciated in the design stages of a lot of homes, but they are easy to update and can make a huge difference in the aesthetics of a room.<\/p>\n<p>Why are we thinking about mantels? Maybe because we know mantels get more attention around the holidays\u2014stockings hung with care, a string of lights from corner to corner, maybe a glass of milk on the ledge for the man in the red suit. It seems like a good time to point out that mantels can actually serve as a focal point for any room all year. The fireplace naturally draws attention in any room already, and the mantel typically does the nice job of pulling room accessories up to (or near) eye level.<\/p>\n<p>We create gorgeous, one-of-a-kind, <a href=\"https:\/\/brunsell.com\/products\/custom-millwork\/\" target=\"_blank\">custom fireplace mantels in our mill<\/a>, giving attention to each curve and line and groove to create something that\u2019s more than just functional.
