Our Hopeful Home: Fall Bedroom And Mantel Decor

September 10, 2023

This year's fall mantel in the bedroom was inspired by a beautiful art print I purchased at a local vintage emporium. I was so moved by the fall colors in the print I just had to buy it.

For the past few years I've decorated the primary bedroom in anticipation of fall, my absolute favorite season.

This year I was inspired specifically by an art print I came across at a local vintage shop. Once I hung that print it all fell into place. I hung it smack dab in the middle of the cathedral arches on the faux fireplace.

The warm colors of the print - golds, greens and browns - definitely give off fall vibes, and the gold frame compliments those colors beautifully.

Beneath the fall art print I've displayed our framed wedding invitation from 1995. Its warm hunter green mat and gold frame contribute nicely to the overall fall feel.

Continuing the palette, I chose gold taper candles for my Thrift Store Candelabra which I recently transformed with some elbow grease and white paint.

Another faux orange pumpkin provides a nice pop of fall color.

No fall mantel would be complete without an amber bottle or two filled with fall-colored dried cone flowers. These are from last summer's garden. I dried and saved them knowing I'd be displaying them this fall in my amber bottle vase. A gold framed mirror, some faux pumpkins, lamb's ear garland and an orange spiral candle all come together as part of the warm fall palette.

Moving on from the mantel, I chose to decorate the bed in gold and blue -- a somewhat nontraditional color combo for fall, but one I feel works for me.
