**Hey guys!  We’re reposting this Fall Mantel Decor post from 2017 because it is just too good to stay locked in the archives, and how timely right?  Jenn was the original writer, so all the credit goes to her!  Enjoy!  -Chelsey**

Hooray, Autumn is here! It’s time to gather up your favorite fall decor items and give your home the seasonal nostalgia it deserves. If you’ve caught our earlier blog posts about Spring and Summer Mantel Decor, than you absolutely know how much we loved partnering with Sarah Sarbacker and Andrea VandeBerg of Cherry Blossom Events (CBE) to get their opinion on seasonal decor trends and how to best incorporate them into your new Veridian home, more specifically your new Veridian home mantel.

To refresh the decor on your mantel this fall season, follow the steps below.

STEP 1: Start with a clean palette and one simple statement piece that can last all seasons – like this octagon mirror that CBE sourced for us from Cost Plus World Market.

STEP 2: Add in warm, fall foliage and gold accents. We used a geometric detailed gold vase by Nate Berkus for visual interest and some vintage pillar candlesticks.

STEP 3: Next, bring in a few natural elements like geode bookends and an agate glass photo frame to add an earthy vibe with a touch of style.

STEP 4: Top it all off with some more subtle gold accents for balance within the brown tones, playing up the varied height of each item as you go.
