Paint your chimney breast a different colour from your fireplace to create contrast. Go for a light-hearted hue like blue to mark the start of spring and as a nod to blue skies ahead.

Aside from colour contrast, create visual interest with stylish glass accessories. Display a mirror, candlesticks, or vases to draw the eye upwards.

Display colourful eggs for a curated Easter look. Choose from an array of pastel hues for that refreshing spring feel. And for that extra luxe touch, coat the eggs in gold leaf paint.

3. Decorate with spring flowers
