Thank you Krista at The Happy Housie for hosting this fun ‘Seasonal Simplicity’ Summer blog tour!

I’m so excited to decorate my home for summer! I’ve already decorated my newly remodeled kitchen with summery touches and made a new peony Summer wreath for my front door.

Things are feeling brighter and lighter already and it’s a welcome change after this long winter we had!

If this is your first time here, pop over to my About Me page to read about how and why I started my blog and business Setting for Four, after having a career in Research & Development Microbiology!  

Also read about our background as a military family (that moves a lot!!)

5 Elegant Summer Mantel Decor Ideas:

  1. Color Palette – Choose a color palette that coordinates with the colors in your living room. Since my living room has a neutral base, it allows me to be flexible with my accent colors, which I love to switch up for the seasons. I added a pop of fresh summer color to my mantel with timeless blue and white! See how to create a color palette for your mantel decor and living room. I love how these navy blue candles, white candles and white ceramic vase feel with my gray paint color and comfy ivory rug!
  2. Candles – Mixing wax candles and battery operated candles give the perfect mix of real flickering flames and convenience! I am obsessed with these battery operated dancing flame candles! 
  3. Candlesticks – I love to mix and match my candlesticks! Here I used crystal candlesticks, ceramic, clear glass and mercury glass! I love the mix of finishes to make the white mantel look more interesting! Candlesticks add another layer of pattern and texture to a summer mantel.
  4. Air plants – I love the look of air plants for summer! These are artificial but there are also some gorgeous big and bold air plants you can use too! I added a few to my hubby’s military pewter mug and tucked a few more around the base of the candlesticks.

Finish your summer mantel look by adding a few things to the hearth area!

This will create balance and a complete cohesive look.

These pillows come in beautiful indigo blue too! (the gray is sold out!)

Here’s my recipe for decorating the hearth of your fireplace for summer:

  1. Baskets: I added a gorgeous fringe and tassel basket filled with gorgeous shibori print pillows and cozy pom pom throw blanket to one side of the fireplace.
  2. Vase: On the other side I added this beautiful tall white ceramic vase filled with faux fiddle leaf fig stems for some greenery!
  3. Greenery: Adding greenery to a living room is one of the key steps on how to design a beautiful living room! Adding green stems, or a houseplant like a palm tree, olive tree or fiddle leaf fig tree will add texture and color. See these Beautiful Houseplants That Ship To Your Door!
