All things autumn and all things easy autumn is where I am right now. I have been knee deep in some big projects & travel that have been keeping me busy so I haven’t been decorating as much for the seasons just yet. But this weekend, I have some time to soak and simmer and do a little ‘fallifying’. And up first- a few autumn mantel decor ideas are coming your way. If you are like me and you are looking at sprinkling a little autumn cheer in the house- AND you want it to be easy- this post is for you.
Easy autumn mantel decor ideas
1. The Softer Side
The softer side of autumn is always a favorite look for autumn mantel decor. This mantel was inspired by those beautiful soft colors mingling with sage foliage and a little bit of copper. You can see more of this mantel and how to put it all together HERE.

2. Bold and Beautiful dried foliage
This was a fresh garland that dried beautifully and so- it became a beautiful autumn garland for an autumn mantel. Don’t overlook some of those dried flowers and greens that you have saved all year long. They can be beautifully repurposed for seasonal decor.

3. Elegant Natural
All the simple and sweet autumn things together here. I love those cinderella pumpkins and mixed with dried hydrangeas and eucalyptus – this mantel was such a sweet natural look that lasted all the way to Thanksgiving. You can see more HERE

4. A Beautiful Wreath
Oh how I love a garland or other decor to create an autumn mantel- but sometimes you just want a wreath to dress up the fireplace area. This one was crafted with fresh flowers, artichokes and more. The beauty of fresh flower wreaths is that you can make them and enjoy them- and while not all flowers dry well, if you use those that do- the wreath should dry beautifully so that you can enjoy it all season long. See more about this wreath HERE

5. Just 3 things
Of course, simple and sweet and easy is just that. And this mantel styling uses just 3 simple things to easily create a charming look in a snap. You can see more of this HERE

Get the Look
Next week, I will share the first of this seasons autumn decor as well as some elegant halloween stylings. And stay tuned for our next installment in Love it or Leave it. Happy Friday everyone.




YUM…to ALL!! franki
Can’t find that wreath and garland on the Balsam Hill website
That collection may be something they are not carrying this year unfortunately.
Love these looks simple yet, lovely. Going to try the pumpkin waffles and butter. Yummy..
I love the eucalyptus leaves. I’m from Australia originally, living in Michigan (for love), and I always love seeing australian things
