Mantel Decor For Spring
To decorate my mantel for spring, I decided to make a trip to At Home!
The only thing I knew at the time was that I wanted my mantel to have a spring farmhouse style. While there, the pops of yellow throughout the store really inspired me. So, I ended up deciding to pair the yellow with red for a little something different. That Sunshine sign really sold me on the yellow idea!
Items That I Picked Up For My Spring Mantel
As I mentioned before, I went to At Home to purchase items for my spring mantel. However, you don’t need to go to At Home for your mantel decor for spring. Instead, you can use this post as inspiration and buy similar items at your favorite home decor store.
Below, I linked to similar items that you can get from Amazon!
- Wood Sunshine Sign
- Red ceramic lantern
- Yellow candle holder
- Red floral wreath
- Artificial yellow blooms
- Artificial red floral sprays
How I Decorated The Back Of The Mantel
To begin, I started with this vintage tobacco basket that I picked up at a barn sale a few weeks back. I am in love with the rough texture, and it really fills up the space above my barn wood mantel (click here to see what it looked like when we first built it). I used an “S” hook to hang the sunshine plaque from the basket so that it can be easily removed after I get tired of it.
How I Decorated The Right Side Of The Mantel
On the right side of the mantel, I place that gorgeous red wreath. I love it! The flowers are like thin wood, so this one should be able to be used for several seasons in a row. Then, I added a small yellow candle holder and thought it looked perfect with the red wreath!
The gorgeous yellow ball is actually the same blooms that are in the vase on the opposite side of the mantel. I fell in love with these large blooms!
This one I just took off of the stem completely and set directly on the mantel.
How I Decorated The Left Side Of The Mantel
Moving towards the left, there is a marquee sign that I have had for a while now, along with a vintage wheel that was picked up years ago at a barn sale. I used miniature clothespins to pin up a few grandbaby pictures! You have to love the addition of a smiling face to any mantel.
Then that amazing red lantern is actually a candle holder. I used it as a vase and put in some of those yellow blooms along with some of the red sprays. The red flowers that are in my vintage wood scoop are some I removed from the red sprays that are attached to the front of my mantel.
How I Decorate The Front Of The Mantel
I took five of the red floral sprays and wove them together for a garland that worked great on the front of my spring mantel. If you are looking for spring mantel decorating ideas, this one is simple and really inexpensive with the price of artificial flowers.
