Let’s dive into creating a spring-inspired mantel that brightens your home instantly!

How to Decorate Your Mantel for Spring

The mantel is often the focal point of the living room and the perfect spot to decorate for each season. Make a statement this spring with colorful blooms, whitewashed terra cotta pots, and a trio of DIY spring embroidery hoop wreaths.

I teamed up with Oriental Trading to show you how to create Floral DIY Embroidery Hoop Wreaths and other beautiful DIY crafts that will freshen up your mantel in an instant.

1. Add Flowers

Flowers are the ultimate symbol of spring’s new beginnings. Incorporate vibrant blooms like tulips, daisies, or peonies into your mantel decor. Use vases, jars, or creative floral Easter Eggs to add an instant pop of color that embodies the season.

2. Add Natural Elements

Natural colors and textures are a nod to the rebirth and growth of the season.  Add natural woven baskets, bird’s nests, greenery, and moss.  Use garden-inspired DIY whitewashed terra cotta pots to highlight these natural elements and add a subtle pop of color.

3. Embrace the Rule of Three

The “Rule of Three” is simply a guideline that suggests arranging decor in odd numbers makes it more visually appealing to the human eye.  Groupings of items in odd numbers, like these DIY Spring Embroidery Hoop Wreaths, tend to look dynamic and more natural creating a visually appealing focal point. 

4. Mix Up Materials

Make sure you layer in different types of materials.  Hang a fabric banner to soften the decor, display printables in a colorful frame, or add hand-painted speckled Easter eggs to help transition your mantel from spring to Easter with ease.
