In this post you will learn how to style the perfect fall mantel.
Having recently had a log burner and fire surround fitted in our new home, I cannot wait to decorate it. A mantlepiece is a real focal point of a room and is the perfect way to make easy styling choices to reflect the seasons. I am drawn to a mixture of foliage and candles for autumn, but keep reading for some autumn mantlepiece inspiration.
I love the oval mirror which adds depth to this more eclectic mantel decor. Choosing pieces that don’t match gives a more relaxed, homely feel. It is natural to lean towards decorating with warmer tones at the time of year. However, accenting with cooler, grey/ silver tones gives a more interesting look.

Autumn coloured foliage and pillar candles epitomise the fall season for me. Vary the height of your pillar candles to add depth to your decor and accentuate with pumpkins if you want to add extra interest.

I was drawn to the different textures of this mantel. If you are looking at how to style the perfect fall mantel, wicker vases and antique books give a more traditional look that veers away from more stereotypical decor.

Final Thoughts
One of the most important things when thinking of how to style the perfect fall mantel, is to think about the style you want to reflect. Use antique books for something more traditional, or lots of candles to add a cosy feel. Whatever you do, have fun and don’t be afraid to mix it up.
