FALL MANTEL DECOR IDEAS
1. simple fall decor
If your home has a neutral aesthetic and you don’t want to go too overboard with decorations this fall, then this fireplace idea is perfect for you!
Just buy some faux fall stems along with a few orange pumpkins for the fireplace. Mix in some crochet or knitted decorations to complete the look.
2. add greenery
I’ve said this like a million times before but adding greenery to your space is the best possible thing you can do. Even if you add no other decorations besides the greenery, it will make your space feel a lot brighter and more open.
You can add some fall-inspired decorative objects with the greenery to finish the look.
3. hey boo
Ok, I know this is a more Halloween mantle than a fall but it just looks too good. I love the neutral aesthetic and the flying bats are an amazing addition.
You can also add some pumpkins on the bottom to make it more fall.
4. pumpkin garland
Do you love to DIY? If that’s a yes, then you will love this idea as well. Grab some orange construction paper and cut out little pumpkins like above.
Then just secure them on a string to create the perfect fall garland. Or, if you don’t have the time to do it yourself, you can buy them from Etsy.
5. eaves and pumpkin
Here is another insanely good fall mantel decor that you can easily recreate. You’ll need lots of faux leaves and mini pumpkins.
First place the leaves on the mantel and then arrange the pumpkins to your liking. You can also add some candlesticks to give it more of a rustic vibe.
6. fall wreath
Who says wreaths are only for the front door? Recreate this stunning fall wreath for above your mantel and make your guests’ jaws drop!
You’ll just need some fall ornaments and a pine wreath. Make sure to add some pumpkins for the extra fall decor
7. woven basket
I love woven baskets for organization but I never knew they could be incorporated as decor too. But, I’ve gotta say, it looks amazing.
Get a couple of woven baskets from Amazon and hang them below your mantel on either side. Then place a bunch of fall leaves inside and on the mantel to create a simple yet gorgeous fireplace.
8. beautiful fall mantel
How gorgeous is this fall mantel? It’s not too out there and it looks incredible. If you are looking for transitional decor ideas from summer to fall, this is a great option.
Just include a few faux stems and decorative objects to recreate this look.
9. incorporate other colors
I know during the fall season, we tend to mostly use the color orange. Which is great but sometimes it can be overpowering and draws attention away from the space.
Make sure everything looks perfectly cohesive by mixing in other colors. For example, I think green and blue are both amazing options. You can see in the picture above how good it looks.
10. candles and fairy lights
First of all, how insane does this look? It may just be my favorite mantel decor idea on this list. Incorporate faux stems, mini pumpkins, candles, and fairy lights for this look.
My favorite thing about this is the gorgeous illumination the candles and fairy lights provide. This would be the perfect spot to sip on some pumpkin spice latte and read a book.
11. add a mirror
Most people usually Have a TV or some kind of picture frame above their mantel, but a mirror will look just as gorgeous too.
They also help to make the space appear brighter because they reflect light. You can add some mini pumpkins and some faux leaves for the Fall touch.
12. rustic look
I don’t know if it’s because of the color of the mantel but this fireplace just looks very rustic/farmhouse to me. I absolutely love the stones on the fireplace as well.
I think it combines perfectly with the rest of the decorations. Add some pumpkins varying in sizes and colors along with some faux flowers and stems to complete the look.
13. minimal mantel decor
Looking for the best fall mantel decor ideas that aren’t too much? Then, this is the one for you. It’s great for all the minimalists and neutral lovers as well.
Add some faux neutral pumpkins, some greenery, and of course, candlesticks to complete the look.
14. mix color of stems
For fall especially, I love orange-colored stems and leaves. But sometimes that can be a bit much. Tone it down by adding faux greenery.
They work amazingly well together and are easy on the eyes.
15. add a large sign
If you have some empty space above your mantel, one of the best ways to fill it up is by hanging up a picture or sign.
This can be a picture of your family, friends, or something completely different and aesthetic. One of my favorites is in the picture above. Just a simple wooden “welcome” will make a huge difference.
16. incorporate pumpkin vase
I love the look of pumpkin vases. Some of them look like actual pumpkins and they honestly look so pretty. Add some pampas grass or some other stems inside to create the perfect fall decor.
You can also add some faux greenery or bright flowers to brighten up the space.
17. small mantel decor
If your fireplace is on the smaller side, no worries there because you can still create a stunning space.
Incorporate leaf garlands, lots of pumpkins, and also a few decorative objects to complete the look.
18. lots of candlesticks
I think fall and winter are the seasons when I enjoy reading most. Don’t get me wrong, I always have a SJM book in my hand any day of the week but, there is just something about the cold weather that creates a totally different and more enjoyable atmosphere.
Especially when there are candles lit and it’s raining outside.
19. fall banner
This is another super cute and easy DIY you can easily recreate in less than 10 minutes. Just grab different patterned construction paper and cut them into triangular shapes.
Then simply attach them to a string and hang it up on your mantle. You can layer it with beaded garlands as well and add other decor items.
20. arched wood wall decor
Here is another incredible way to fill up space above your mantle. Buy a rustic arched wood wall decor to hang up. Then, add a basket filled with mini pumpkins and stems on it as well.
You can also add some more pumpkins and faux stems on the mantel to complete the fall look.
21. lots of leaves
I absolutely love this gorgeous fall mantel decor. The bright orange and red leaves will definitely capture your guest’s attention and hold it!
You can make a fall-inspired garland using faux leaves and add more faux stems in vases for the mantel. You can also incorporate dishes and cups that are fall-inspired into the decor as well.
22. wooden decor
Last but not least, we have this stunning fall mantel decor that will guarantee compliments. Not only does this look super cozy and cute, but the decor against the marble makes it stand out 10x more in my opinion.
