How To Keep Your Fireplace Decor Simple For The Summer

| | |

I will show you how to keep your fireplace decor fresh, simple and organic for the summer!

When decorating my family room for the summer months, I was on a mission to keep the fireplace decor simple.  Hopefully,  I’ve managed to pull that off by using a few simple, natural and organic elements.

With the arrival of summer and the temperature and humidity on the rise, I wanted the decor inside my home to stay on the simple organic side.  The feeling I wanted in my home was for it to feel light, fresh and welcoming, so no heavy or bulky decorations for me this time of year.

I added a small amount of blue and green, to tie in with the summer decor in my dining room and breakfast nook, but I mainly focused on natural organic elements for my summer fireplace.

A hanging basket, overflowing with daisies, is a sure sign that summer has arrived at Worthing Court!  A crockery vase is filled with unexpected spindles, instead of stick filler of some kind.  A flat basket filled with draping greenery vine and a grapewood branch dressed with wooden beads and jute tassels fills out the rest of the mantel.

Down on the hearth, I’ve continued the simple and organic theme by using a woven basket to contain a large fern and my spikey wood orb.  A tiny wall basket, attached to the brick with a removable hook helps to fill a spot that looked a little too empty.

This is just a little peek at one side of my summer family room.  I hope you’ll come back on Monday for the full summer tour of my home!

    LOVE! Did you make the beaded string/garland? Where did you get the beads? I *need* to make one. 😉

    Love the basket ‘wreath’ with the daisies. I just picked up a summery straw purse at a yard sale on Saturday… $1! I’m gonna fill it with flowers and put it on my door. 🙂

    1. Hi Julie. No, I didn’t make the beaded garland. I just walked into Target a couple of weeks ago and there it was! It was in a display with several of their new items for spring/summer. Love your idea for the door basket!

  16. The moment I saw the basket with daisies, I knew my fireplace décor needed the same thing! We usually have an antique mirror over the mantle, but the basket is so light and fresh…going to add this tomorrow! Thanks!

  17. So beautiful!! I love the ideas you shared. Could you tell me where you found the large wood and metal piece on your mantel?

  18. So simple and so elegant! I really like this a lot. It’s just beautiful!
