The Perfect Neutral Fall Mantel | Living Room Update

This post has been sponsored by Wayfair, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Last week, I️ shared my inspiration photos for our neutral fall mantel upgrade, and this week, I️’m coming back to you with the final reveal! I️ am so happy with how it all came together, and I️ love that the pieces I️ selected can be used throughout different seasons.

I️ always like to have my mantel decorated, whether it’s for a holiday or season, or just for fun. In the past, I️’ve just hung themed banners from my mantel, but I️ really wanted some neutral decor that I️ could play up with festive decor pieces that I️ change for each season.

I️’m a huge fan of greenery and love classic decor, so it’s no surprise that I️ love a good topiary! I️’ve actually been on the hunt for a pretty topiary for our mantel for a while now, and when I️ saw this one, I️ knew it was the perfect addition for my neutral fall mantel decor. While I️’m big on classic style, I️ also appreciate a bit of asymmetry, so I️ didn’t want to use a topiary on each side of the mantel.

I️nstead, I️ opted to go with this set of glass lanterns, and I️ chose the smallest one to flank the opposite side of the mantel. The larger two are arranged around the base of the fireplace, and I️ chose to use flameless candles in the lanterns. These particular candles are great because they’re controlled by a remote, which means I️ don’t have to open the lanterns every time I️ want to turn the candlelight on!

And who says garland is just for the Christmas season?! I️ chose lamb’s ear garland (eucalyptus is great, also!) and I️ think the pastel green is the perfect accompaniment to my neutral fall decor scheme. I️ love the look of cream-colored pumpkins, so I️ added those to my mantel decor, as well. This entire look will carry through the entire fall season, and is perfect for Thanksgiving as well.

My favorite thing about my neutral fall mantel is that I️ can reuse nearly all of this for other seasons. I️’m already scheming for Valentine’s Day and Easter with the garland and topiary! You can view more neutral fall mantel decor here.
