It’s no secret around here that fall is one of our favorite seasons. Besides the stunning foliage and back-to-school fun, it’s also a perfect time for a home refresh. You can break out the knit blankets, accent pillows in seasonal shades, candles that smell like cinnamon, and pumpkin decor, all in the spirit of creating the coziest home ever. Another easy way to amp up the autumn charm? Fall fireplace mantel decor.
A fireplace can make a charming statement while providing a backdrop for watching movies, reading a book, or entertaining family and friends. In other words, it deserves to be decorated! Whether you’re on the hunt for a new wreath, garland, or decorative object, the best fall fireplace mantel decor ideas will enhance the hearth of your home with warmth and charm. Once your mantel is decorated, you can complete the look with fall wall art above the fireplace for extra ambience. Let’s get cozy!
