Fall Fireplace Decor Inspiration for 2025

Once the air cools and the leaves begin to change, we all know it’s time to pull out our autumn decor to welcome the new season and prepare for the holidays ahead. The mantle is one spot in the home that can easily be transformed with seasonal decorations, and it’s especially perfect for a fall-inspired setup. 

There are so many ways to infuse your fireplace and mantle with warm, natural autumn beauty. And whether you’re preparing for a holiday gathering with loved ones or just want to DIY a seasonal display in your home, our list of fall mantle decor ideas can help you create a beautiful and welcoming aesthetic. 

harvest garland

A garland is perfect for adorning a mantle and creating a classic autumn display. We love the combination of dark, moody leaves with lighter, golden foliage, adding interest to the space through contrasting colors and textures. 

Elevate the look by adding pumpkins, candles, and wicker accent pieces for timeless fall fireplace decor. You can also recreate the look above by weaving twinkle lights through the garland for a whimsical appeal. 

dried foliage

Dried leaves add a rustic, moody vibe, and we love that this natural decor is so low maintenance, especially when compared to traditional fall decorations like fresh flowers or pumpkins.

Combine at least two types of dried foliage for a simple but alluring aesthetic, and you can also incorporate dried florals for a feminine touch. 

lantern lights

Lantern lights add an elegant appeal and a gentle glow, creating a soft ambiance perfect for late nights eating seasonal baked goods. We love the subtle vintage touch these lanterns add, and you can use real or faux candles for a calming and comforting setup. 

pumpkin vase

Pumpkins are often used as decor on their own, but you can turn this into a functional piece that serves as a vase for fall florals. 

This setup is cute and whimsical, and it adds a fun and unexpected twist to your autumn decorations. 

antique art

Incorporate antique art or prints along your mantle to add a layer of sophistication and allure. Look for pieces featuring autumn landscapes and earthy tones to match the rest of your decor. 

Antique art will add a timeless appeal to your seasonal decorations and create a focal point for your mantle setup. 

timeless textures

A combination of textures is essential for a cozy and visually striking space. If your mantle and fireplace are made of more than one material (stone, wood, marble, etc.), then you’re already off to a great start!

However, you can add plenty of textures via dried foliage, classic or velvet pumpkins, wooden logs, or fresh flowers.  

seasonal produce

Stop by the farmer’s market to pick up seasonal produce for your mantle. Pumpkins are a given when it comes to autumn decor, but you can also add squash, corn, pears, or apples for a fresh and vibrant aesthetic. 

style w/ symmetry

Symmetrical decor is perfect for a balanced and harmonious look. We love the wall print in the center, anchoring the decor and creating space on each side for matching decorations.  

This approach is visually pleasing, creating an intentional and put-together feel. 

stacked books

Books are the perfect fall mantle decor, adding antique charm and height to the space. Opt for books with autumnal covers—think forest green, burgundy, navy, or plum tones—and bonus points if they have gold accents!

Use stacked books to create tiers and as a base to layer other decorations on top for an interesting finish. 

feminine fall charm

Embrace a soft, feminine aesthetic with rosy blooms, ornate golden framed art, and dainty ivory berries. These elements add sophistication and femininity, creating a mantle that’s both whimsical and refined. 

pastel palette

While deep, bold colors are often associated with this season, a pastel palette can be a welcome alternative. The soft shades from sage green and cream pumpkins, coupled with blush-speckled pears, add a modern, sophisticated feel to this decor. 

This unexpected color scheme can help create a unique mantle that still effortlessly embraces the season. 

wicker on wicker

Wicker elements offer a rustic, homey aesthetic in your space. And “you can even recycle an old wicker basket or place mat to get this look,” making the most of pieces you already own. 

Whether it’s wicker baskets stuffed with woven pumpkins, rattan wall baskets, or woven trays full of earthy decor, mixing different wicker pieces can create a cohesive, cozy appeal. 

effortless elegance

A marble mantle can be adorned in simple, classic autumn decor for an effortlessly elegant aesthetic. A rich, moody garland contrasts the soft, warm marble, while small pumpkins add a timeless fall touch. 

This is ideal for a smaller home or for a modern mantle like the one above. 

with mirrors

A vintage mirror can serve as a stunning backdrop for your mantle decor, and we’re obsessed with the layered look from two antique-style mirrors. These pieces will reflect light, making your living room feel larger and brighter. 

Select mirrors with ornate gold or wooden frames for an understated elegance, and create depth by adding dried leaves and other fall decor in front of them. 

pampas grass

Pampas grass has been a decor staple in homes for years—and this element works well for an autumn aesthetic. Offering a subtle boho vibe, the feathery, neural leaves pair perfectly with other fall elements and add a bright touch to the dark-toned brick along the fireplace. 

If you prefer a display with more color, pair pampas grass with green and red tones for a well-balanced fall display that’s vibrant and earthy.
