We have a fireplace, but it is set in a wall of brick with no mantel. I've dealt with this so far by stringing a wire across the brick, and hanging things from it. For a good year, it was a set of prints (intended for a classroom) depicting different kinds of butterflies. Over the Christmas season, I hung up Christmas cards. After I took those down, I left the wire mostly empty, and just hung a few pieces of ephemera and children's art, as they showed up.
For Valentine's Day. a child made a last minute banner by cutting a big heart out of red fabric, and stapling it to a square of white fabric...simple and charming. The staples aren't very noticeable because the heart is so dominant.
