Spring Fireplace Mantel Ideas in the Family Room
If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love spending time in my garden and puttering around in my She Shed.
But if the garden isn’t quite ready for you to enjoy just yet, why not bring a little bit of that beauty inside?
If you’re looking for spring mantel decor ideas, one of my favorites is the one I created in our family room. I mixed natural elements, airy neutrals, and colorful fresh flowers to bring a cheerful touch to the space.
My custom garden sign is the perfect statement piece and serves as a beautiful backdrop for garden-inspired spring mantel decorations.
For this spring fireplace decor, I put together a DIY floral display using a 6-in-wide wooden fence board as the base. Then I covered it with soft Spanish moss and layered in a mix of greenery and flowers to bring a fresh, natural touch to the the room.
For the greenery I used salix, ferns, and other spring foliage, and to finish, I added several aged clay flowerpots, fresh spring flowers, and a rustic birdhouse.
How to Recreate the Look
What I love most about this fresh spring mantel idea is that works well with many different styles of homes. Whether you are looking for modern spring fireplace mantel ideas or prefer a rustic, vintage farmhouse style, you can’t go wrong with a garden theme.
And don’t be afraid to make it your own. You can hang a spring mantel garland or add other decorations like Easter eggs, bunnies, or bird nests.
Spring Fireplace Mantel Ideas in the Living Room
Our beautiful living room features blue and white decor and an original 1898 Batchelder fireplace. Of all the mantels we have in our home, this one is my favorite.
My spring mantel decorations were inspired by the blue and white decor I love year-round. It’s classic, effortless, and perfect for spring.
These colors pair beautifully with cheerful shades of yellow or pink, adding the perfect pop of color for the season.
These elegant mantel decorating ideas are easy to replicate with decor you may already have at home.

Another look uses my collection of white ironstone in different heights and shapes, adding pretty color from the fresh pink tulips.
