There are a myriad of ways to decorate your home to reflect the spring season. One of the best ways to do so is with thoughtful mantel décor.
Mantels are often the center of the room, so decorating it can instantly liven up your space and create a welcoming environment.
Experiment with yours, from utilizing a seasonal color palette to dispersing the surface of the mantel with vibrant plants. Here are some beautiful spring mantel décor ideas.
Arrange fresh or faux flowers in pastel shades (e.g. tulips, peonies or daisies) in vases or mason jars. Add water to bring more realism to faux plants or to keep them healthy if they are real.
You can also use floral garland draping down the mantel for an overgrown, natural look.
Place dramatic plants of varied heights atop the mantel for dimension. Pair these with woven baskets, wooden candlesticks or a distressed mirror for a farmhouse vibe.
Display the beauty of nature in spring time on your mantel with foliage/nature items like a bird’s nest with colorful eggs and a wooden bird or bunny sculptures surrounding greenery like eucalyptus, ferns or ivy.
Spring color palettes typically consist of gentle shades. Utilize pastel-colored candles in varying heights, light-colored books and soft-toned flowers.
A vintage mirror is a simple but great centerpiece to adorn your mantel with. Mirrors will reflect the increased sunlight that shines in spring time and make your space look bigger.
For Easter, decorate the mantel with ceramic or wooden bunnies, speckled eggs and moss-covered accents. Place a wreath with pastel ribbons or flowers as the centerpiece.
For a minimalist vibe that still reflects spring, stick to a lighter neutral palette with pops of green. Use simple white vases with a single type of flower. Consider adding subtle touches like woven baskets or a linen runner.
Personalize your mantel with family photos, artwork or your favorite books scattered about. Put string lights around these items, add foliage or strategically place decorative vases for a spring aesthetic.
