The go-to design move for those seeking a perfectly minimalist mantel is a large piece of abstract art paired with three carefully chosen objects in varying heights. The number three creates visual rhythm. In his perfectly composed Paris living room, interior designer\u00a0Joseph Dirand<\/a>\u00a0also includes a mid-century light to break up his mantel’s symmetry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The key to this look is symmetry; the sides perfectly mirror one another in the most majestic way possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The uber monochromatic mantel of designer\u00a0Delphine Krakoff<\/a>\u00a0contains only three elements: matching lamps on each end and a well-placed object to distrupt the flow. The whole composition exists in shades of naturals and creams, making it beautifully subtle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
