Fall Mantel Decorating Ideas in Global Style

I’m joining The Global Stylers in sharing fall mantel decorating ideas in global style!  

It’s September and the time for fall decorating!  It’s also the first Monday of the month, which means The Global Stylers are back to share some great decorating ideas to kickoff the new month.  Our theme today is all about fall mantel decorating ideas in global style.  Be sure to see all the fall mantel ideas from my buddies at the end of this post.

I was a bit nervous that I wouldn’t get my fall mantel decorated this weekend.  With all the thunderstorms and wacky rainy days, I wasn’t motivated to do any decorating or housework for that matter.  Plus, I had double the housework to catch up on this weekend.  The hubs surprised me with an awesome New York city trip to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child last weekend, so I have two weeks of housework to catch up on.  Fun fact, I am a BIG TIME Potter fan.  So you can imagine how giddy I was to see both parts of the play.  Speaking of Harry Potter, did you see that Pottery Barn has a new Harry Potter themed collection?  I’m excited about it!  Check out yesterday’s post about my favorites from the Pottery Barn Harry Potter collection from the new line!

Global Style Fall Mantel Decorating Ideas

This year’s fall mantel decor is a bit simple compared to my usual maxi style mantels, but I’m loving the colorful bohemian/global vibes mixed with a bit of Scandinavian simplicity.  I started with my large art piece, which is still in progress.  The blue and green paint coordinates great with the colors of the pumpkins.  The beginning of a new season is a great time to experiment with new color combinations.  Try your hand at creating art pieces to inspire your seasonal decor.

Instead of purchasing a slew of new pumpkins this year, I gave last year’s pumpkins a little makeover.  One pumpkin was wrapped with lace, while the other was blinged up with a necklace from Francesca’s boutique.  I’m seriously loving the look of the mustard yellow gems with the teal pumpkin.  These pumpkins have a cute boho flair now, but if lace and jewels are not your cup of tea then you can see more ways to decorate pumpkins in bohemian style.

All the pumpkins on the mantel coordinate very well with the Van Gogh Starry Night print.  I found this treasure at a thrift store a long time ago and it still brings me joy to see it.  I love all the blues and yellow accents in the print.  Speaking of blue and yellow, how cute are the tassels from my global style bead garland?  These beads seriously work for any season of the year.

I finished my fall mantel with some maple branches from the yard placed in a thrifted little orange bud vase.  This little guy was one of my last thrift store purchases and its been a great addition to my colored glass collection.
