Adding fall touches to your everyday decor items is a simple idea for decorating your fireplace and mantel. This look would be easy to recreate in your own home!
Decorating a fireplace mantel and hearth for fall doesn’t have to be expensive or hard at all!
Before I go any further, let me say that I’m delighted to be participating in the 2021 Harvest Home Tour hosted by Kristi from French Creek Cottage today. There is an amazing group of 30 talented bloggers sharing fall outdoor spaces, entryways and foyers, fireplaces, tablescapes, living rooms, recipes and crafts all in one day! Links to everyone’s posts are down below.
If you’re decorating on a budget (like I always am) or are striving for a simplified yet cozy look, the best advice that I can give you is to shop your house and use what you already own. If you’ll do that, you’ll create a look with so much more charm than if you were to go out to a store and purchase everything new!
Then all it takes is just adding a few fall touches such as leafy stems, pine cones and a few pumpkins (but not too many!)
In my case, the only new purchase that I made for my fall fireplace this year is the foliage gracing the top of the lidded basket on the hearth. Even though I’ve pared my seasonal decor down quite a bit from days gone by, it looked just a little too lonely without a little something to top it off.
- The coziness comes not from the amount of decor, but from the texture of the decor.
- Using warm, not bright and not all neutral colors definitely adds to the cozy factor.
- Using large accessories makes a more simplified statement and helps to fill the space so that I don’t wind up with a too-sparse look.

Susy,
Your mantel is so lovely. I especially loved the copper piece with the pinecones. Lovely! So happy to be on the tour with you today.

Looks lovely! I, too, struggle with restraint. Living in S FL, the only fall I can have is FauxFall, and I have amassed waaaaayyy too many pumpkins over time to make up for the lack of real fall. I think it’s time I let some of it go. Thanks for the inspiration!

Susie,
I love this pared down look. Would you, by chance, remember where you found those lovely knitted rust colored throw pillows?
Suzy says
Thank you! Here’s the link to the pillows: https://rstyle.me/+DH5VTyaPOhPEdA_YzbDfuA

I love a minimal look, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to actually follow through with it! I start with the idea of simple, but I just keep adding. This is absolutely beautiful though! So happy to be on the tour with you.

I have to say that huge copper pot is making my heart pitter-pat! This space is so welcoming and cozy!
Jennifer Howard says
Suzy, everything looks so wonderful!! I have a crush on your mirror…and that copper kettle (what a great find!!!). Is the green striped throw blanket over your chair the one from Hearth&Hand??
Angie says
Love all of your warm colors and textures. The copper kettle is perfect for fall and you’ve styled everything so perfectly!
Dolores says
Just discovered your site, absolutely love your style. You make your rooms look so inviting. May I ask where you purchased the mirror above fireplace, been struggling for something different over mine. Thank you!
Suzy says
I found the mirror about 3 years ago at At Home. You might want to check your store if you have one near you.

That copper pot is stunning; beautiful with the pinecones. Love the clean look you created, still with a very cozy vibe. Hope you get some cooler weather to enjoy that fireplace!

So so lovely Suzy, I adore everything! I hear you when you say simplifying is an art form, one that doesn’t come completely natural to me. 😉
Elaine says
I love the little pops of fall! The pumpkins, pillows and that copper kettle of pine cones are fabulous.
