How To Decorate Your Mantel For The Early Fall Season

Sharing is caring!

Today I’m sharing tips on how to decorate your mantel at the start of the fall season. It’s not quite time for mums yet, but you are ready for fall!

 

I had to label this “early neutral fall” because I know I will add some pumpkins somewhere but it is a little too early in the Season. The mantel is my favorite to decorate for any Holiday or Season.

I typically host Thanksgiving & like to have the pumpkins until then. I have always decorated for fall in classic fall colors, like oranges & burgundy’s. This went well in my old home, but I completely changed my color scheme when I moved & I feel natural, lighter colors work best here.

I didn’t want to buy anything new, as I do have alot of fall decorations, so luckily I had some silver spray paint left from my recent projects. I painted a Dollar Tree pumpkin & some fall garland.

I wanted the garland to still show some of the undertones so I only did a light coat. I started collecting owls at some point. I used to be afraid of them, but the last couple of years I fell in love with them & before I knew it I had a collection!

I added a few to the mantel, along with some cotton stems from last season, the DIY demi-john I made last year and this beautiful coral I found at Kohl’s of all places. I kept it very simple & just added a few silver leaves to the burlap bubble wreath.

 I am very proud of  the DIY pumpkin pillow as it is my first time painting a pumpkin! The backside of this no-sew pillow has the American Flag I painted for the Fourth. Love to use both sides. I think a few pumpkins will look good on the hearth with a mum.  That will just complete it!

I really love how this neutral fall mantel turned out. The colors are very soft and calming. I have a feeling this will be my ongoing color scheme for the fall season!
