Decorate a Mantel with Modern Farmhouse Style

Today I’m sharing how to decorate a mantel with modern farmhouse style! Here is a quick before and after of the space….

How to Decorate a Mantel with Modern Farmhouse Style

I’m OBSESSED with this transformation. She wanted neutrals with a few splashes of color – she suggested possibly using blues and greens. I added a few subtle touches of the greens and blues, while adding in some tiny pops of purple and yellow in the faux florals. Why did I use yellow? Well, if you look closely at the galvanized pieces of the windmill, there were some yellow spots see throughout and I wanted to pull from that.

Every item on the mantel is from Hobby Lobby except for the far right succulent. I’m loving all of the shades of brown in the woods used throughout and the pops of white really accent the fireplace tiles.

Tips for Styling a Mantel

I first focused on the focal point – the middle. I designed this entire mantel around this windmill. Next, I layered in the wood heart and family sign and added the white potted succulent – so four items total in the center. Lastly for the two sides – I used two items on the left and three on the right. My main goal for styling any shelf really is to use a different number of items throughout. So from left to right I used 2, 4, 3.  Another option that would work, is to move everything closer to the middle and group everything in really tight. Therefore, you would have more space on the ends of the mantel, but that wasn’t the look I wanted here.

Items Used:

Wood Windmill Sign

Family Sign

Green Glass Handle Bottle

Lavender Floral Spray

Lambs Ear Stems

Yellow Billy Button Spray

Blue Bud Vase
