I hope you enjoy these summer mantle decor ideas and find inspiration for your home.
1. Decorate with a coastal theme.
If you’re a fan of the beach, then this is the perfect mantle decor idea for you!
The blue and white color scheme comes to life with the addition of a few seashells and a large piece of coral.
The best part about this look is that it’s not too theme-y, so you can keep it up all summer long.
2. Add some greenery.
I feel like greenery is a must-have for any mantle, and summer is no exception!
You can use faux or real greenery, but I love the look of fresh greenery on a summer mantle.
You can keep it simple with a few small potted plants or add some height with a vase of flowers or a large potted plant.
3. Incorporate a few of your favorite things.
When it comes to decorating, I always say to use what you love and what you have.
This is especially true when it comes to creating a summer mantel.
I love to incorporate things I love, like my vintage blue and white china pieces.
I used a few of my favorite pieces to create a simple vignette on one side of the mantel.
4. Use colorful vases and flowers.
One of the easiest ways to bring a touch of summer to your mantle is to add a few colorful vases and fill them with bright, beautiful flowers.
You can use real flowers, or invest in a few high-quality faux flowers that you can use over and over again.
I love the way the flowers and vases pop against the black and white color scheme of this mantle!
5. Add a mirror.
If you have the space, a mirror is an easy way to add some visual interest to your mantle.
I love the way a mirror reflects the rest of the room, and it’s a great way to make a small room feel bigger.
This large, round mirror is one of my favorite pieces to decorate with because it’s so versatile.
I also love the way it adds a little bit of a beachy vibe to this mantle.
6. Hang a summer-themed wreath.
No summer mantle is complete without a wreath.
You can find a variety of summer-themed wreaths, from sunflowers to citrus, that will look beautiful on your mantel.
If you’re feeling crafty, you can even try making your own summer wreath. Check out our guide on how to make a summer wreath to get started.
7. Add a pop of color with a bright picture or sign.
I love this simple summer mantel from The Turquoise Home.
She added a pop of color by leaning a picture of a vintage truck against the wall and then added a bright sign to the other side.
I love the idea of using a vintage picture or sign, but you could also use a bright picture or sign to add a pop of color to your mantel.
8. Use a string of lights.
I love to use a string of lights on my mantel any time of year.
I love that they create a soft glow and add height to the display.
This summer, I used a string of seashell lights.
I love how they add just a touch of beachy without being too obvious.
