Farmhouse style, with its rustic charm and emphasis on natural beauty, and its love for neutral colors is the perfect match for some fall decorating. Farmhouse interior design is characterized by its use of natural or chippy painted wood, vintage accents, and comfortable, practical elements. Farmhouse decor evokes a warm, welcoming feel that suits the season where we seek warmth and coziness particularly well. Integrating farmhouse style into your fall mantel decor can be as easy as adding elements that remind us of living on a farm.
Favorite farmhouse accessories for decorating a mantel are:
- reclaimed wood signs
- antique metalware, like pieces of old fences
- old window frames
- farmhouse kitchen staples like rustic pitchers and vintage mason jars
- robust wooden or metal candle sticks
- rustic ceramic pots and vases
And specifically for a farmhouse mantel I would add natural elements like branches, foliage, pinecones and pumpkins and gourds.
For me the core principles of fall decorating are: celebrating the natural bounty of the season and creating a cozy retreat from the chill outside.
So, let’s see some examples of how you can bring these ideas to life and transform your mantel into a stunning autumnal showcase.
