Decorating Your Fireplace Mantel for the Spring

Fireplace Mantels provide a great place for decoration year-round. However, many people associate mantels with the comfort of a warm fire, a romantic retreat from harsh winters. So it can be tricky to think of ideas for decorating your mantel when the spring season finally comes, bringing an entirely new mood along with it. Here are some tips to get you started decorating your fireplace mantel once the flowers bloom and the birds begin chirping.

Get In the Holiday Mood

If you celebrate the Easter holiday, now’s your chance to take advantage of the mantel in your home and litter it with Easter-themed decorations. Try displaying some baskets full of pastel colored eggs—real dyed eggs always look best. Fill the baskets with some candy to draw some extra attention to the mantel. Bunny figurines look great and lighten the mood of a room. Come to think of it, Easter decorations look great on a mantel even if you’re not religious at all.

Embrace Nature

Nothing announces the new beginnings of a spring season quite like beautiful bouquets of flowers. Take a trip to the florist or supermarket and put together some creative arrangements of your own. Pansies, daffodils, and tulips are all wonderfully classic flowers that will brighten up your home and accentuate your mantel. Artificial cherry blossoms are another wonderful option that will last the whole season.

Transformative Color

The great thing about decorating a mantel, especially one built by The Mantel Shoppe, is that it already looks great to begin with. Each season, including the spring, offers an opportunity to add to the look with contrasting styles and colors. Spring decorating tends to employ a great deal of white, but don’t forget to add a good amount of pastel shades as well. Light spring colors on a richly dark, wooden fireplace mantel put a spring twist on an old favorite.
