Modern European-style mantel with a simplified, autumnal design
=========================================================================
In a recent move to a new build home, the homeowner has taken the opportunity to transform their living space, starting with the fireplace mantel. Following the "Modern European Easy Fall Mantel" style, the mantel has been carefully curated to exude warmth, texture, and natural elegance.
The fireplace itself is a simple plaster design, with a gas log insert that adds a modern touch. The mantel decor is kept streamlined, consisting of faux pampas grass stems, candlesticks, and an old vintage sugar mold. These natural elements are layered with books, both stacked vertically and horizontally, and small pumpkins or sprigs of fall foliage, real or faux.
To add textural interest, a gallery wall of woven baskets has been placed above the mantel, while neutral-toned candles in simple holders and fall-colored ribbons or small woven baskets adorn the mantel itself. Decorative natural elements like eucalyptus, cotton bolls, or vintage copper plates complete the look.
The homeowner has chosen to use a Frame TV to bring all the tones together, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. Ikea Billy Bookcases have been incorporated to provide additional storage and complete the modern, European-inspired aesthetic.
For those interested in replicating this look, similar pampas grass stems can be found at Hobby Lobby or World Market for online ordering. The author has also provided links to items used or similar options for the Fall Mantel decor.
As a bonus, the author expresses excitement about sharing a Fall Home Tour, including the living room, kitchen, dining room, front porch, and a tablescape. With the cooler weather approaching, the author admits to missing the tablescape and plans to decorate for one soon.
