Freshen up for spring by decorating your fireplace mantel with beautiful spring accents. A mantel is a main focal point of a room and the perfect place to add color to your decor. Spring is the time of natural rebirth, from flowers to tree leaves and bright colors. Here are some tips for decorating a mantel for spring time.
Start by placing your artwork in the center of the mantel so that you can work around it and create your look. Try to find artwork that is a reminder of the warm weather outdoors. You could even get creative and make a piece of art and have it framed.
Arrange your glass vases and various other decorations on either side of your artwork. Try and strike a balance size wise on either side of the mantel so that it looks symmetrical to the eye. You do not have to have the same pieces on each side, just try to find similar sized objects to decorate with.
Begin to add smaller accents to your mantel such as starfish and seashells. Step back and see where you need to add or rearrange anything.
Now, add colorful dried flowers and any wooden accents that you have to your look. This will add texture and break up all of the glass objects that are placed together.
Add little votive candles to light up at night that will add a soft glow and be a reminder of warm spring evenings.
Look around your home for objects that you can reuse for this project. Take a look outside in your yard as well for dried flowers and twigs to keep the cost of your decorating down.
