10 Beautiful Fall Mantels | Remodelaholic.com #fall #mantel #decor @Remodelaholic

Top Ten Beautiful Fall Mantels and Link Party

Fall is coming! We have had so much fun camping and working in our yard this summer, but all good things must come to an end. It’s still a few weeks off, but I love anticipating the crisp fall weather as I decorate for the season change. To get you as excited as I am, here are ten creative items to add to your fall mantel (plus a couple inspiring mantels for Halloween and Thanksgiving). (featured image via The Lettered Cottage)

PS: If you don’t have a mantel, now is great time to add one or build a floating shelf that can pretend it’s a mantel. Whatever you decide to do, I want to see — come share at this weekend’s party for a chance to be featured by Remodelaholic!

 

Empty Frames

This gallery of empty gold frames by Everyday Lovely is ready for fall and will easily transition to the other fall holidays, too! Add some fun cut-out creepy silhouettes for Halloween, and add a cornucopia (or leave as is!) for Thanksgiving. If you’d rather not hang all those frames, just stack a couple to give your mantel some depth.

Corn

Whether you use regular old popcorn in a jar or brightly color Indian corn like 33 Shades of Green shared here on Remodelaholic, corn adds texture and warmth to your seasonal display. fall mantel with indian corn wheat and apothecary jars

Apples

A simple row of green apples looks stunning up against this bright blue wall on My Sister’s Suitcase. Real or fake, line them up or toss them in a basket to add a simple touch of one of fall’s best crops to your decor.

Branches and Leaves

A handful of branches in a vase is simply classic autumn — and easy to come by! Twenty Something stuck her branches in rice and added some beautiful pumpkins from a local patch.

It’s not fall without the changing leaves. Capture them while you can and put them in a lovely vase surrounded by a few gourds and deliciously old books (Saidos de Concha via Flickr).

Wheat

A bundle of wheat will stand on its own and help your mantel shine! See how The Lettered Cottage created this look.

Brown Paper

Brown craft paper or brown paper bags are cheap to come by. These simple brown paper flowers by A Place For Us extend the beauty of the mantel up the wall.

Straw or Raffia

Straw (or sub in raffia) is great for adding texture to a fall mantel. The Lettered Cottage used loose straw on the top of her mantel and a small hay bale to add height for the pots and pumpkins below.

Chalkboard

The rough texture and hand-drawn goodness of a chalkboard fit the autumn rustic feel perfectly.  You can make a simple chalkboard platter like SAS Interiors did.

Books

This mantel combines so many great elements! The layered empty frames and stack of books look fantastic next to The Rooster and The Hen’s handmade potpourri Halloween tree.

Weathered Wood

Fall is about the freshness of spring and summer turning gold and, well, decaying, so weathered wood fits the bill perfectly! The Frugal Homemaker used part of an old pallet as the centerpiece of her fall mantel.

Halloween Mantels

I can’t leave Halloween out… I love this fun Harry Potter mantel that Gina from The Shabby Creek Cottage put together for her “Potterhead” family.

And this mantelscape by Pottery  Barn (via Lil Luna) is perfectly spooky and old!halloween mantel, pottery barn via lil luna

Thanksgiving Mantels

Can’t forget about the season of gratitude, coming right on the tail of the trick-or-treaters…  Transition a simple fall mantel into a Thanksgiving mantel with a wooden message sign and pennant banner like Create Craft Love…simple thanksgiving mantel, Create Craft Love

…or a heartwarming seasonal message of thanks (from craft store paper mache letters taped to the wall), like The Lettered Cottage did. Thanksgiving mantel with paper mache letters, The Lettered Cottage

 What is your favorite element of fall decor? I love how easy and versatile pumpkins are!
