In Doorways – Because of the wide variety of styles and sizes available, corbels are ideal for adding a little decoration to even the plainest doorway. Under Mantels – Instead of placing a traditional table along a wall, add an attached mantel with corbels underneath. The look is quite elegant and will certainly not be found in every home.
