These beautiful mantels feature accents like florals, pastels, and fresh greenery that will inspire you to add that perfect pop of spring color to your space.

My Spring Mantels

Looking at my mantel at first glance it is pretty neutral space. The white shiplap, is the perfect blank canvas to decorate.

I start by adding in pops of color with blue accents and greenery. This gives that perfect wow factor to my mantel.

Something as simple as switching out the art on my Samsung Frame TV instantly adds a spring vibe to our living room. You can purchase and download the digital art I have on my TV here.

Of course, for me, adding greenery is essential to bring in the colors of spring. Some years I’ll keep it simple and just add one pop, and other years I’ll add more and even add a faux tree to flank the fireplace.

By painting by shelf inserts blue I have the color pops and can use neutral vases and candlesticks in my decor and still have the spring vibe on my mantel.

Nothing says “spring” more than these two images. DIY Show Off’s bright tulips contrast the neutral, rustic tones of the other iconic springtime images: white bunnies, a wooden birdhouse, an antique birdcage with a nestful of eggs.

10. Antlers and Eucalyptus Leaves

Minimalist can be eye-catching, as is this example from Marci Schneider. Antlers, eucalyptus leaves, a circle mirror, and just a few other small pieces allow for a design that is easy to replicate.

One of the most creative ideas for mantel decor in this roundup, Cranberry Bush arranged flower-filled vintage teacups hung on the wall with twine. Books and a birdcage add height, while the blooms and potted plants add splashes of color.

24. Use What You Already Have

There’s no need to purchase items for your spring mantel decor when you can use pieces that you already have. Individually, the items included in this design from Funky Junk Interiors would not scream “mantel decor” to me. However, once styled together, they just work.

25. Easter-Themed Spring Mantel

With Easter being the major holiday in springtime, many people naturally associate the two together. This fun Easter-themed springtime mantel from Kelly Elko is colorful and playful at the same time.

How to decorate a mantel in a modern interior

09/26/2020

Today, designers decorate not so much the mantelpiece as the facade of the portal or the wall above it. And what to put on the fireplace in a modern and stylish interior?

How to do without a drill and organize your home collection, save on decor and dust less often?

Mantel mirror

The simplest and most effective decoration is a mirror image. We select a frame for it a little narrower than a classic fireplace.

High rectangular mirror today is not hung, but placed on the portal.

The polished surface visually expands the space and raises the ceiling.

But remember: the opposite side of the room will double along with the slightest traces of disorder. Therefore, the best company for a mirror is a plain wall and trendy lamps.

Mirrors and paintings

The single frame is much narrower than the portal and looks lonely. Posters, diplomas or photos will help to increase it to the desired width.

Combine the narrow mirror on the fireplace with other rectangles.

The main thing is not to shrink: modern compositions consist of 2-5 items.

We will replace intricate photo frames 10x15 cm with a passe-partout under glass. So memorable shots collect less dust, look more expensive and go well with glass protection for the firebox.

Pictures and figurines

Elite addition or alternative to mirrors - works of art: sculpture and award cups, collectible weapons on stands, paintings and graphics.

The fireplace mantel can be decorated with a large painting, a figurine or a combination of both.

The number of parts depends on the interior of the room and the design of the portal.

To give canvases a fashionable look and effortless cleanliness, instead of a carved frame, we will choose a narrow baguette. The simpler the framing of the hearth and the decoration of the wall, the more decor the recreation area will withstand.

Vases and panels

Art panels, plates and vases are more available. They are used not only for flowers and fruits, but also as a separate decoration.

Ceramic vases and panels are an inexpensive and practical replacement for sculpture.

They work even on fireplaces with unusual shapes or complex finishes.

An asymmetric or multi-colored portal will be complemented by laconic objects in the tone of the frame or the adjacent wall.

Candles and candlesticks

Instead of vases and figurines, you can take candlesticks and candles. A festive composition will be decorated with stearin ones, and a daily one with diode ones.

Burning candles on the fireplace are good not only for the New Year holidays.

In spring and summer they will add romance, and in autumn they will drive away the blues.

Mini glass bio-fireplaces - ready-made and exclusive - will help you not to get cinders from tall glasses and save on one-time purchases.

Natural decor

Natural beauties from the forest, garden and kitchen garden are no less spectacular. They will be especially useful to fans of country, Scandinavian and eco-style.

The natural charm of the fireplace is emphasized by natural flowers, driftwood and pumpkins.

Cut plants can be replaced with dried, freeze-dried or potted plants.

Designers advise to refuse from bright plastic dummies. In real life, a fake immediately catches the eye and greatly cheapens the interior.

Practical box

Chaos can also spoil the view, often disguised as abundance. To avoid mistakes, we will free the edges of the shelf, and draw the little things with a clear outline.

A decorative drawer unites the fireplace mantel and the gifts of nature.

It gathers many small details into a neat and stylish composition.

If the drawer is equipped with hooks, it will be convenient not only to wipe the dust, but also to hang Christmas socks on the fireplace for gifts.

DIY decor

In addition to boxes, home craftsmen can handle voluminous figures. The cut of an old stump will remind the outlines of the continent, cardboard and plywood will turn into stars and letters, and pompoms from the remnants of yarn will become the warm heart of the house.

DIY decor will help you save money and have fun.

Gluing, sawing and painting can be done alone, in a pleasant company or with the whole family.

The secrets of success for beginners are a good mood and color combinations that are already in the fireplace area.

Personal symbol

Letters and numbers, hearts and stars, map and globe - universal options. It remains only to fill them with their own meaning.

The ideal decor reflects the character of the interior and its owners.

A brutal loft-style fireplace can even decorate an old house number or a road sign.

The flight of fantasy is limited only by the size of the hearth and the fiery line: the living flame remains the main decoration.

Watches and watches

Mantel clock with Arabic and Roman dials never lose their relevance. And retro-style models are experiencing a rebirth today.

You can put a wall or table clock on the fireplace.

Large options are suitable for a spacious kitchen-living room, and compact options are suitable for an office.

The small clock is easy to match with a painting, a mirror or with each other. Several identical dials set to different time zones look original.

Books and magazines

The mantel can also be used as a bookshelf. The main thing is not to arrange storage on it, but to find a creative solution.

The library above the hearth will serve as both an "old" and a modern fireplace room.

Covers in interior tones provide a stylish look.

Poor lettering on the spines will not spoil the view if you turn them to the wall. A horizontally lying book will increase the height of a small figurine. The larger figure will become a support for a vertical stack of magazines.

Collection place

A complete collection of works, awards or souvenirs should be divided into parts and regularly updated.
