Fireplace Mantel Ideas

Posted

Fall MantelWhether you have a full wood mantel system, or a beautiful mantel shelf from MantelCraft, the season to decorate them is upon us.  From a fall theme, to the winter holidays, your mantel is the focal point of your living space.  Here are some fireplace mantel ideas that will ensure that your mantel gets the attention it deserves.

Set off your mantel with a framed monogram.  Let your mantel feel like a celebration of autumn's abundance. Natural elements, faux pumpkins, and twine-wrapped candles create a cozy, autumnal arrangement. Put your family's stamp on the mantel with a monogram.  An expensive way to do this is to line a bargain frame with burlap and adhere a wooden monogram to it. A tip for using garland, is two is better than one.  Wind two faux-gourd garlands together for a more lush look.

Burlap…it is the thing to use in decorating this fall.  It is everywhere and using in a wide variety of ways.  Create a classic fall mantel with a dramatic mirror and a DIY burlap wreath. These burlap wreaths are versatile and can be used year round.  Finish off your mantel with burlap-wrapped pumpkins and subtly colored natural finds.

If you and your family are huge nature buffs, allow your mantel to display that passion.  Decorate your mantel for fall with a mix of natural and store-bought elements. Find an old weathervane at your local antique shop and spray paint them to match your color scheme.  Use white pumpkins from a craft store, spray paint them ivory, and wrap the stems with brown yarn. Allow your children to gather sticks from your backyard, add them to a Mason jar, and scatter maple leaves in various colors along the display. Make your garland from real leaves glued to a length of twine, to keep the look simple and natural.

There are numerous fireplace mantel ideas for the fall.  Have fun and get creative! If you are in need of a new mantel before you begin decorating, visit our website at MantelCraft.com.  Contact us for any questions!
