Faux Fireplace

The most obvious replacement for an actual fireplace mantel is a faux fireplace mantel!  A faux fireplace has a lot of pros – the whole look and feel of an actual fireplace, added ambiance and warmth, a large focal point for a blank wall, etc.  And there are a lot of ways to go about creating one – from an actual built in fireplace with  a chimney surround and hearth, to a simple free standing fireplace surround, to a completely fabricated faux fireplace from salvaged finds.

Piano Tops

Piano tops are the next best thing to having an actual fireplace mantel!  Pianos are generally large pieces of furniture that can easily create a statement and draw focus, so it's natural to decorate the top.  Instead of having a permanent decor vignette here, you can easily treat it as a mantel to decorate for the seasons or holidays.  A console piano can be decorated just as easily as an upright, and if you find one too damaged to play, consider creating an incredible furniture piece, like a desk!
