Fall is My Favorite Season

Without a doubt, fall is an amazing time of year. All the leaves start to change color, the weather is cooling down, and the holidays are just around the corner. 

One of my favorite ways to get ready for fall is by decorating my home with all sorts of autumnal goodies. If you’re looking for some easy fall mantle decor ideas, you’ve come to the right place. Today, I’m going to show you how to create a simple and festive mantel in just a few minutes using items that you probably already have around your house. Let’s get started!

What do you put on a mantle in the fall?

There are many easy ways to decorate your fall mantle. You can use pumpkins, leaves, or other Fall objects to create a beautiful display. Below are a few ideas to get you started:

• – Use a pumpkin as a vase for flowers or Fall branches.
• – Fill a bowl with apples or other Fall fruits.
• – Tie a wreath or garland on the mantel.
• – Place Fall candles on the mantel.
• – Arrange Fall leaves in a vase or jar.

3 Easy Steps to Create a Beautiful Fall Mantel

First, I started by pulling out all of the dried hydrangeas from last year. I wanted to bring the pinkish-green color in from the painting over our fireplace. At some point, I’ll change out this painting for another, but until I do, I thought the colors in this painting could easily transition over to fall.

Up next, I layered my dried hydrangeas along the top of my mantel, followed by adding a pretty berry garland.

Finally, with a few old books, a medium-sized candelabra, and my lush stuffed pheasant, my mantle was complete. That’s it! Easy as pie!

More Ideas for Mantle Decorating

1. Add a festive banner.

2. Drape some autumn-themed garland.

3. String up some colorful lights.

4. Display a pumpkin or two.

5. Lay some straw bales around the mantle.

6. Hang some scarecrows or other fall decorations.

7. Throw pillows in autumn colors are always a great addition.
