Create a Euro-cool look for your mantel with a visual trick.
“We wanted to create a statement piece,” says designer Amanda Hamilton of the stunning marble slab that tops the fireplace of this sophisticated Calgary living room. It stands out in part because of the beauty of the material, but Hamilton also employed a colour trick to give it an extra pop: the walls around it are painted black to create a striking contrast. And below, the fireplace itself is clad in black metal so the whole thing disappears when the fire’s not lit. “Suddenly, you’ve created a seamless look,” says Hamilton.
