Decorating: Holiday Mantels(11)

Lush boughs are draped across a stately mantel in this formal dining space. Classic molding and a marble surround on the hearth contrast with sprigs of wild berries and leaves. Lemons, nuts, and hedge apples add textural interest to the display. Complementing the notes of gold elsewhere in the dining room, the warm tones of these unexpected details offer striking highlights of color.
