How to decorate a mantel behind a wood stove
- Make space for tools – if you’re decorating the area around a real wood burning stove, make sure you factor in space for fire-making tools, such as a bucket for ashes, a brush, fire stoker etc.
- Keep it clear or use a mantel – if we’re being honest decorating behind a mantel could be a fire risk but if you want to decorate you could install or utilize your mantel. You’ll see inspiration for this below!
- Create a backsplash – Tile, stone or brick as a backsplash behind your wood stove is a great way to make the are unique and protect the wall behind from any heat damage.

1. Cozy living room
This living room just oozes coziness.
We love the simplicity of the decor around the corner wood stove.
A simple basket offers practical storage for wood or other stove related items.
2. Kitchen
If you’re fortunate enough to have a wood burning stove in your kitchen or you’re planning to install one – you may want to keep it simple with little to no decor around the stove.
With it being located in a workable and sometimes busy space, avoid cluttering the space.
This wood stove makes the kitchen super cosy!

Positioning a wood stove in the corner like this with gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows is an amazing idea!
We love how they’ve paired the wooden cabin with the soft chunky knitted pillows.

We love the space-saving idea of storing the wood in a separate space underneath.
If you’re looking for something similar, you can buy a similar artificial wood stove that’s electric and has storage for wood underneath for effect (because you won’t actually need it haha).

6. Tile
Tile or brick wall and platform for a wood burning stove is a super cute option!
In this idea, a mantel was installed and decorated above.
Making sure that you have fire stoking and cleaning tools nearby, you can decorate to your liking.
7. Chimney
For this modern chimney and fireplace look, a couple of plant pots either side look great!
This look would work for a corner fireplace too – just keep it simple and let the wood stove be the main event.
8. Fireplace mantel
Looking for ways to decorate your fireplace mantel with a wood stove?
Arrange some candle holders on the mantel, along with a vase.
Arrange the garland to hang more to one side than the other.
Then you can position a wicker basket and lantern at the foot of the mantelpiece.
9. Backsplash
To protect your walls and floor, some kind of backsplash and hearth pad is a good idea!
Using brick to create the backsplash means that you can have a faux mantel with a shelf behind the wood stove.
You can then decorate the shelf and add in useful items like wood storage and an ash bucket etc.
10. Wall
We love this feature wall behind the wood burning stove!
You can really make your fireplace unique with a eye-catching feature wall.
Make sure to have the essentials, such as a kindling bucket, wicker basket and tools, to hand.
11. Bedroom
This built-in corner wood stove is so romantic!
You can clearly see here how the fireplace is the focal point and where you look first in the room.
12. Stone walls
This could work great for a corner fireplace too!
The stone looks great against the black wood stove.
With a small mantel, you can decorate with a few items. Such as a modern ceramic vase and some candle holders.
13. Black
This idea showcases a more traditional look with a black wall/backsplash behind it.
Instead of a freestanding rack with the tools, opt for one that hangs from the wall.
A galvanized metal bucket pairs well with the black stove here.
Wood stove decorating
Wood burning stoves are not only practical but make an excellent feature in your home. Consider adding in a mantel, faux or real, to give you more options to decorate.
Remember that when decorating this space you want to think about practical items too but don’t clutter the space.
Add in your personal touches in small ways or create a feature wall that makes the space super unique.
