Ain’t Fall just the best time of the year? Oh, I love this season! Nothing better than making some hot herbal tea and reading a favourite book while sitting on a comfy armchair in front of the fireplace in your parents’ new house. Or is that just me? My folks recently bought a place in the country, and sure it needs some work, but the living room is adopted for living, it just required a little makeover! I quickly came to my mother’s aid with this amazing autumn rustic design! My parents have a stone fireplace, so some decorations made with colourful leaves, complemented by pumpkins, pine cones, and a variety of foliage created the perfect rustic look for their time in the country! If your fireplace is not of stone material, no need to worry, this cosy decor will go with whichever type you have, just go easy on the amount of leaves you use!

Since we opened the question of fall fireplace mantel decor, let’s look at another variety of a fall decor, but this time something indoors! For this look, combine natural elements like dried wheat stalks, leaves and include golden details to capture that autumn magic.

Some aroma candles can also fit quite nicely here!
How to Create a Classic Decor?
Well, if that ain’t beautiful?! I adore this look. While I was searching for ideas on how to style the fireplace in my flat, I stumbled upon this design, and I just had to have it! I immediately went out and bought a round mirror, some tall candlesticks and a white vase to fill with natural greenery I bought from the florist near my home. Unfortunately, my fireplace is not from stone, but I still think the accessories go well with the light sky blue shade of my living room wall. If you have a stone fireplace, you can paint the bricks gray if you want to capture this classic style completely. Surrounding walls in warm whites or gray will go great for with this design.
And now, for the grand gesture you have all been waiting for, here are the best ideas on how to give your fireplace mantel a real spooky look!
