Neutral Summer Mantel

Thanks For Sharing!

It feels like summer more every day. Last week, I shared our summer entry way and today I’m chatting about our neutral summer mantel with a little coastal flare. Before I dive in, if you are visiting from The Idea Room, so happy to have you over here. I just love Amy’s patriotic mantel! So perfect for the upcoming holiday.

Neutral Summer MantelA simple neutral summer mantel. Just a few touches of summer greens and wicker to add a little summer decor to your fireplace.

I wanted to do something light and airy this year for summer. I didn’t really decorate last summer, so I wanted at least something up there this year! I love using greenery, it creates such a fresh feeling in the space and it’s something that’s so easy to keep up! Just grab a few clippings from outside and you are good to go :)

Summer Decor For Your Mantel

Since i’m always limited with what I can put under the TV, I just added some simple drift wood garland under it. It added a little bit of the coastal feel.

This beautiful botanical pillow from Linen and Ivory was one of my inspiration pieces when putting together the mantel. I love the neutral tones but also the sweet pops of green.

    I love it! I like that your fireplace has a ledge to sit on. That is how ours was growing up :) Plus it gives you more room to decorate!

    Hi Taryn! I came across your blog via a Pinterest photo of your fireplace. I just love the look of stone and wood. Could you tell me the dimensions of you’re hearth? IT seems higher than a standard 6-8 inches and deeper than 10 inches. I attempting to convert a blank wall into a fireplace wall to achieve my dream of having a mantel. Haha

    Beautifully done! Can I ask you the depth of your mantle? How much space do you have to decorate on? Also how thick is the mantle?
    Thanks!!
