With fall decorating in full swing, here are some ideas to decorate your home, including that beautiful fireplace mantel shelf!

Layering and incorporating various elements are key to an eye-catching fall display. Fill vases partway with nuts. Cut a piece of scrapbook paper to fit inside the vase and arrange shocks of wheat or other branches in the vase.

Turn pumpkin patch finds into a unique centerpiece. Look for miniature squash with interesting shapes and colors to create a one-of-a-kind tabletop display. Group squash of similar colors and sizes together or line them up across the middle of the table. You can also use the squash as place settings, writing guests' names on them with permanent marker.

If you are a naturalist, try this idea. Hang two prints from a vintage nature magazine in rustic frames from twine.  Lay branches and green moss balls on your fireplace mantel shelf.  Add birch bark candleholders to the scene.  Arrange these elements to create some symmetry as well as height. 

Repurpose a set of candleholders to display pumpkins and gourds. Find a mismatched set at a garage sale or antiques store and spray paint them all black for a unified look. Use candleholders of varying heights for visual interest. This look is the perfect addition to one end of your fireplace mantel shelf.
