Getting started
Gather all of the things you think you might want to use.
Make sure your items are varied in size
Start with a blank canvas, meaning you want to remove everything on your mantel.
Once everything is off your mantel… Dust it
Here comes the fun part…
Start with your base, this will be your biggest item/s that will anchor the look of your mantel. I used empty picture frames.
Next add your medium items
Bottles, vases, little stools, signs and books are great choices here.
Add your florals
Add your florals
By adding florals as I have done, you are adding color and texture
OK we are almost done
Now lets add our small items to fill in some space and add character. Since this is a fall mantel I went with different textured pumpkins and a little candelabra.
Last Step
Stand back and look to see if it looks balanced and if it pleasing to your eye.
Take a picture and see if anything stands out. Sometimes we see things in photo we don’t see in person. If you see something that needs attention make the adjustments.
Finally take a picture and posted it on Instagram make sure you tag #eventanddecorconcepts
I hope you found how to style your mantel helpful.
