After the holidays my mantel felt a little melancholy, so I gave it a fresh, simple update. I gathered a few cheerful items from around the house and spent a bit of time rearranging—an easy way to lift the mood and refresh a room.
The result was an instant transition from winter slump to spring lightness. Below I’ll describe what I placed on the mantel and include my seasonal shop and mood-board picks.
What I styled on the spring mantel:
Cordless lamps that add a soft, cozy glow without cords cluttering the space.
A small white ceramic bunny for a whimsical, seasonal touch.
A stack of antique books to bring warmth, texture, and a hint of history.
A green-and-white striped scalloped pot holding an orchid to introduce fresh greenery and a refined floral element.
A decorative shell to nod to natural, coastal textures.
A rattan candleholder topped with a moss ball, which reads like an easy DIY topiary and adds organic shape and color.
I’m also pleased to announce our annual Spring Shop is open, filled with curated seasonal decor and gift ideas chosen to help you bring a fresh look to your home.
Below are a few spring decor mood boards for inspiration, and you’ll find many more selections in our Spring Shop. We update the shop through the season, so it’s a great place to find small accessories or gifts whenever you need them.
If you prefer, you can also explore curated finds in my Amazon storefront and the Cottage by the Sea home shop for additional ideas.
