Natural Fall Mantel

The fall is decor is going up little by little and by that what I really mean is my house is covered. I swear, once I start to hear football games on the TV throughout the house, it’s time to just embrace it. So far I’ve shared our fall porch, a DIY Fall Wreath, and now it’s time for my natural fall mantel.

Today, I’m also joining a really fun fall mantel hop, so be sure to keep scrolling and check out all of the other fall mantels below.

Natural Fall Mantel

Love this stone fireplace with all the fall colors. Create an elegant and natural fall mantel using neutral colors, pops of copper and natural fall textures. Love the pumpkin mantel display.

It’s funny looking back at fall mantels over the past few years and seeing how some things have changed and other things are still the same. I remember decorating our mantel for the very first time and being SO excited to even have a mantel to decorate! My first fall mantel was a lot more rustic and farmhouse and it’s been fun moving into more elegant and chic designs but also keeping things festive.

Create an elegant and natural fall mantel using neutral colors, pops of copper and natural fall textures. Love the pumpkin mantel display.

When it comes to decorating our mantel I am always a little limited because of the TV above it. But it is literally the only place for us to have a TV in our family room, so I have to make it work. I would LOVE to get one of those framed TV’s that look like a pieces of artwork when it is turned off. Umm yes please, I can dream!

Fall Blanket Ladder

Fall blanket ladder!

I got this cute blanket ladder for last year’s mantel and thought it was so cute, had to bring it back out. Blankets add so much texture to a space, especially in the fall.

Decorating Mantel With Pumpkins

Solving this design dilemma! This large light swit Solving this design dilemma! This large light switch in the middle of the wall has been tricky to decorate around, so I decided to decorate with it, incorporating it into the gallery wall. 

All the prints are purchased from Etsy!  Most frames are from Target.

It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
