When I say this is a simple spring mantel inspiration post I mean it! Using just a few decor items you already have in your home plus a couple from the thrift store or dollar store and you can brighten up your space for springtime.
I must admit I left my Christmas decor up a lot longer than I should have. I didn’t even want to change it over to a winter theme. The season was so busy I didn’t have time to post my mantel, I went opposite to the minimalist mantel I did the previous Christmas. Maybe I can show you the projects I made next Christmas?
Simple Spring Mantel Inspiration
Anyways, I was looking for a quick and simple spring mantel inspiration so I checked Pinterest and trusty google and there were so many elaborate decorations! Plus a lot of amazing DIY projects I could have made. Instead I went through my box of decor and found this coral pink peony garland I had previous bought at Michaels. If you don’t want to spend the money for a 6 foot garland you could grab some flowers and greenery from the dollar store and place them across your mantel, or attach them with floral wire to make your own garland.
I was gifted these beautiful milk glass vases that a friend found at a thrift store. I’ll never say no to more candles or candlesticks! They’re bright white and nicely blend into the fireplace brick. I’m going to keep an eye out for pink candles that would match my peonies, I think a pop of color would be nice here!
Finally, I finished it off by using a neutral colored basket filled it with some pillows, a blanket and a bead garland. Nothing fancy but definitely useful space for my pillows.
And there you have it, a simple spring mantel inspiration using flowers, greenery and a couple of candlesticks! And if this spring mantel will last as long as my Christmas mantel did, it will still work for summer too.
