Neutral and Copper Fall Mantel

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by JOANN, all opinions and creative content is my own.

Decorating our mantel for fall is one of my very favorite things to do each year! I know you probably hear similar phrases from me throughout the year, but I really mean this one. Our mantel is the focal point of our downstairs and it sets the tone for the rest of the space. Seeing our mantel decorated for fall makes the whole room feel so cozy, especially when cuddled up in a blanket watching tv at night with the fire going. So are you ready to see my neutral and copper fall mantel for this year?

Neutral and Copper Fall Mantel

Dress up your family room for fall with this rustic yet chic neutral and copper fall mantel decor. Get the look by mixing lots of textures and metals!

This year I partnered with JOANN Stores to decorate my mantel. Just about everything thing here can be found in their stores or online. They have such a wide range of decor from fall farmhouse to more modern and traditional. It wasn’t hard for me to fill an entire cart with gorgeous fall items that I truly love and fit my style.

Check out this neutral fall mantel filled with pops of copper and cotton stems. Love all the natural textures against the stone fireplace.

Pops of Copper For Fall

Such a sweet rustic glam fall mantel! This DIY leaf garland is so easy to make using your Cricut machine and little leather rope.

My fall theme for this year is mixing neutrals with pops of copper and metallics. I want to keep my rustic modern style but also glam it up a bit with a few metals. I found so many beautiful copper pieces that stand out so well against our stone and pull in those warm tones from the fireplace. I think they add a great mix to our standard decor this season.

Give Me All The Pumpkins

You can never have too many pumpkins! Fill a fall inspired box with tons of little pumpkins in various colors and textures to add a big splash of fall to your decor.

Of course fall also means tons, I mean loads of pumpkins. Like there can never be too many pumpkins when it comes to fall decor. You don’t want to know how many bins I have. JOANN stores has SO many chic decorative pumpkins this year. I will honestly say that I was really impressed with all of the different pumpkins available. Not just craft pumpkins, but full on beautiful pre-made fabric pumpkins, felt pumpkins, wire ones, paper ones, succulent pumpkins. I mean there are so many cute ones.

Love all these fabric pumpkins in different patterns inside this adorable pumpkin patch crate. All can be found at JOANN Stores!

I love these fabric pumpkins with authentic looking stems. They look so cute piled up in this pumpkin patch box!

Decorative Blanket Ladder

Cute way to display blankets for fall around the fireplace.

Blanket ladders can be used year round, but they are such a great staple for fall. I found this white washed wood ladder at JOANN and it’s the perfect size to lean against the fireplace. These simple throw blankets were the perfect addition and make the look even cozier.

Bring together all these natural textures to create a beautiful look for fall. From the wood blanket ladder, basket full of logs, wheat strands and pops of fur.

DIY Leaf GarlandDress up your family room for fall with this rustic yet chic neutral and copper fall mantel decor. Get the look by mixing lots of textures and metals! Great mix of farmhouse, rustic and a little lux!

To top the whole look off, I made this DIY leaf garland using my Cricut and plain white cardstock and leather string. It took just a few minutes and adds a little something to our bare mantel.

    Do you happen to know where I can get the hearth material you have? Or what it’s called? I can’t quite find anything I like for the top of ours-but I like that concrete tile look! Thank you!

June recap! Not as many projects happened, but I’ve been enjoying summer life with the kids and making memories. 

My trip back to Seattle was so needed and refreshing. Summer in Seattle is unmatched.

We took our first family trip to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and we all fell in love. 

The kids finished up summer baseball, summer track and now we get a little break before football and fall sports.
