\n
Have we actually really caught your attention with the idea of incorporating a little bit of pastel colour in your fireplace decor scheme but you can\u2019t help feeling like you\u2019d much rather stick to a rather white and blue aesthetic instead of including pinks and greens as well? In that case, we have a feeling you\u2019ll really appreciate this guide from Remodelacasa that shows you how they used light blue, white, and silver to make a spot that looks very icy indeed.\n
\n
Do you quite enjoy the idea of making a DIY mantel display that\u2019s clearly inspired by the ice outside your cozy home door but you\u2019re just not sure that particular kind of light blue will suit your home, which has quite a number of green tones it might clash with? In that case, we\u2019d absolutely suggest taking a look at how The Sunny Side Up Blog created a beautiful variation on the theme using silver and mint green instead!\n
