Minimalistic Halloween Mantel Decor

You guys! Now that our fireplace makeover is complete, I feel like I can decorate it for every season now! The new fresh look is inspiring me. I decided to make a few changes and try out some Minimalistic Halloween Mantel Decor.

I’m not big on Halloween decor, but honestly our kids love it so I always try and do a little bit. And this is my VERY FIRST Halloween mantel ever! I’ll admit, I had a little fun :)

I wish I could thank whoever started the tiny bat trend across the wall because I love it! It feels seasonal yet a little artistic. I’m digging it. I had some plastic bats in my bins so I decided to give it a try! I’ve been having a hard time getting them to stay, but they look cute :)

Now that our fireplace is a lighter color, I feel like I have so many more options when it comes to decor! And I’m so excited about it! Plus, the mantel is actually a little wider now, so that really helps too.

I found these awesome bare branches at Michaels a few weeks back and I am obsessed with them! They are some of the coolest branches I’ve seen and they look really realistic too. I feel like they would also work for winter too.

I placed them in one of my “new” black textured vases, you can see that full thrifted vase makeover. And I added one of these amazing leather pumpkins! I found them at JOANN Stores and I snagged a few before they sold out!

I had fun putting together this new look. I can’t wait to show you my Halloween Porch later this week!
