I have a three way gas fireplace with a flat top and tiled surround. It is between the living room and the kitchen sitting area. I need some ideas of what I can display there. If it was yours, what would you display there?

@Marybella  It's kind of hard to picture from your description.  How about a photo?

I like to decorate so I would place a seasonal garland or display on top. Flameless candles work well.

The items there are going to be donated to the Salvation Army, so it will be a blank slate!

@Fressa I put up my Christmas creche there in December, but don't do too much else during the year. Lazy-bones! Thanks for the suggestion.

hmmm - 

I'd go with things that would look good from all angles and larger sized items so it doesn't look cluttered. Perhaps a pottery collection, lanterns/candles, books.

Re: Top of fireplace decor?

[ Edited ]

We have a fireplace that is similar, and for years, I would switch out the decor according to the season...

 

Easter/Spring & Summer - White Orchids and Green Topiary Plants

 

Fall/Thanksgiving - Ceramic Pumpkins and a Burgandy, Gold, and Orange Arrangement

 

Christmas - Silver and Gold Reindeer and a Nativity Scene

 

January thru March - Ice Blue and Silver Candlesticks and Candles

 

2020... Lost my motivation - The Orchids and Topiaries have been up ever since

 

I've just been switching out the Seasonal Wreath on the front door, and that's been the extent of my "decorations" since then. Woman Frustrated

@LavernLuvsShoes Thank you for the ideas! We are getting older and don't do a lot of entertaining anymore. The pressure has been off for sure since covid hit. But, I still want to have it look "put together." I'm just out of ideas, so I appreciate your response!

@ThinkingOutLoud Thank you! Maybe I'll get the lantern and candles out again!
