Spring Fireplace Decor
1. Swap That Heavy Mantel Garland for Fresh Florals
To be honest, I’m a sucker for a good mantel garland.
But once the first day of spring hits, my winter garland just feels like a distant memory of snow days and cozy nights.
I love swapping it out for something lighter, like fresh tulips or daffodils.
There’s something about bringing nature indoors that makes me feel like I’m part of the season, like my fireplace is ready to host a springtime soirée—without the winter baggage.
Oh and if you’re not into live flowers (we’ve all been there with the wilting disaster), faux ones work wonders. No shame, I promise.
2. Decorative Firewood Basket (Because Why Not?)
Okay, so maybe you are not lighting fires as much now (unless you are in some weird cold snap).
But I still need that firewood basket for something. Enter the new, spring-approved decor basket.
Instead of filling it with logs, I like to repurpose it into a storage solution.
I love filling mine with extra throws, flowers, magazines, or even a few candles.
It’s like giving your fireplace an accessory upgrade that says, “I’m ready for spring… and I’m organized, too.”
3. Pastel Candles
Do you ever find yourself staring at your candle collection and thinking, “Okay, this feels a bit too… wintery”?
If that’s you, too, you’re going to love switching up your candle game for spring.
I adore pastel candles in soft shades of lavender, pale pink, or mint green. They add the right amount of color without feeling too overwhelming.
I can’t even tell you how much brighter my living room feels when the soft glow from pastel candles dances across the space.
It’s like inviting spring in, without having to deal with pollen in your eyes.
4. Wreaths Aren’t Just for Front Doors
I used to think wreaths were strictly a front-door thing—until I realized that they make a perfect addition to your fireplace mantel.
I started adding simple floral wreaths above my mantel, and let me tell you, it immediately gave the space a more relaxed, springy feel.
Right now, I’m obsessed with a eucalyptus and lavender combo that gives off that earthy, fresh-from-the-garden vibe without the overwhelming scent.
Also, a wreath is like a very simple way to celebrate the season without making your living room feel like an over-decorated garden.
5. Throw on a Light Blanket (Because Why Not?)
I’m definitely guilty of hoarding all the cozy throws during winter, but once the warmer months roll in, I need to lighten up my home’s vibe—starting with my fireplace area.
Enter the light linen blanket. It’s airy, it’s soft, and it gives off those breezy spring vibes that scream, “I’m relaxed and ready to soak in the sunshine.”
Drape one over the mantel or toss it on a chair nearby—it’s the perfect way to add texture without feeling like you’re still wrapped in your winter cocoon.
Plus, who doesn’t love an extra cozy spot to snuggle up with a good book when the evenings are still cool?

6. A Mirror Over the Mantel
A well-placed mirror above the mantel will reflect all the glorious natural light that comes with spring.
I don’t know about you, but I’m all about letting that sunshine flood into my home.
It brightens up the space, makes it feel more open, and honestly, just makes me feel good.
I’ve been loving my round mirror for this purpose—it’s sleek, modern, and just the right amount of stylish without feeling like it’s trying too hard.
Plus, every time I walk by, I get a little “I love my springtime vibes” smile. You know the one.
7. Simple Candlesticks
If you’ve been into the rustic, wooden candlesticks, it might be time for a refresh.
I’m not saying you need to completely ditch them, but a minimalist row of sleek, simple candlesticks can really elevate your fireplace area.
I love using white or matte black ones, because they add just enough contrast without feeling too overpowering.
When I line them up, it gives the mantel an elegant, uncluttered look—kind of like saying, “Yes, I’m fancy, but not too fancy.”
It’s the perfect understated touch to welcome spring without going full-on floral overload.
8. Spring-Themed Artwork
I used to have that one winter landscape painting hanging above my fireplace, but once the weather changed, it just didn’t feel right anymore.
So, I swapped it for a vibrant piece of spring art. A pop of color in a piece of abstract florals or a framed botanical print instantly made the room feel brighter and fresher.
It’s a simple way to infuse your fireplace area with the season without spending a ton of time or effort.
I found one painting that has a soft pastel gradient, and every time I look at it, I feel like I’m staring out into the sunset on a perfect spring evening. It’s magic.
9. A Cozy Rug to Anchor the Space
When the weather starts warming up, I love to switch up my rugs.
During winter, I gravitate toward deep, thick rugs that trap all that warmth, but come spring, I’m all about the light and airy options.
I recently picked up a handwoven jute rug with a subtle pattern, and it’s perfect for around the fireplace.
It adds texture, warmth, and a little contrast to the more neutral tones of my spring decor.
Plus, it’s cozy enough for bare feet (because let’s face it, sometimes you need a break from slippers).

10. Throw Pillows
Ah, throw pillows! the decor equivalent of changing out your wardrobe for the season.
In the winter, I go for heavy, plush pillows that beg for an afternoon nap. But once spring arrives, I love switching things up for lighter, softer options.
Think pastel-colored pillows in soothing shades of blue, blush, purple or even a soft sage green.
Toss them onto your sofa or your armchair near the fireplace, and they’ll tie the whole spring vibe together.
It’s like giving your home a mini wardrobe change.
11. Metallic Accents
Let’s talk about metallics.
I know, we tend to think of them as a fall and winter thing but hear me out—adding a subtle metallic accent can bring a little glam to your spring fireplace decor.
I added some brass candle holders and a cute gold tray, and suddenly, my fireplace had that touch of sophistication it was missing.
I’m not talking about gold overload (we’re not trying to look like a Vegas hotel here), just little metallic touches that catch the light and add a bit of shine to the space.
12. Greenery Everywhere, Because It’s Spring!
There’s no such thing as too much greenery when spring rolls around.
I like to add a few potted plants around my fireplace area—whether they’re placed on the mantel, on a nearby shelf, or in cute ceramic pots by the hearth.
Plants like ferns, snake plants, or even succulents in decorative pots give my fireplace a natural, vibrant feel.
Plus, they make my home feel more alive—literally and figuratively.
13. Use Vintage Finds
This spring, I might decide to add a few vintage finds to my fireplace area.
An old, weathered wooden box or a brass pitcher can add texture and character to the space without trying too hard.
I found a vintage glass vase, and now it sits on my mantel, filled with fresh wildflowers.
It’s like my fireplace has a little bit of history mixed with the fresh energy of the new season.
14. Add a Rustic Wooden Mantel
If you are looking to bring a bit of warmth and rustic charm to your fireplace this spring, a wooden mantel can do wonders.
Whether you go for reclaimed wood or a sleek, light oak finish, the earthy feel of wood can balance out all those light, airy spring vibes with some grounded texture.
I’ve always been partial to a more weathered, rustic look, and it pairs wonderfully with pastel flowers or soft-colored candles.
It’s a great way to embrace the season while adding a bit of earthy charm to your hearth.
15. Use a Statement Fireplace Screen
Spring doesn’t mean you have to completely ignore the fireplace function.
If youre still using it occasionally, consider switching up your fireplace screen to something a little more chic.
A brass or gold fireplace screen works beautifully for spring; it adds elegance without overpowering the space.
16. Switch to Lighter, Airy Drapes
If you have been holding onto those heavy, dark drapes from winter, it is time for a switch!
Light linen or cotton curtains let in more light, make the room feel more open, and keep that spring vibe flowing throughout your living room.
I recently swapped out my velvet curtains for sheer white ones, and I swear, it was like the entire room just breathed better.
The fireplace area feels brighter and bigger, which is key when you are trying to move from hibernation mode to the fun of spring.
17. Floral Garland
Floral garlands aren’t just for the holidays. In spring, a floral garland draped gently across your mantel or around the fireplace edge gives the space an ethereal, garden-like feel.
I’ve used a mixed greenery and flower garland to line my mantel and it is such an easy way to add a pop of natural color.
It’s simple but gives off those I just picked these flowers from my garden vibes.
18. Add a Touch of Marble
If you are looking for a luxe touch, marble is a fantastic material that doesn’t scream winter, but it can still offer a bit of sleek sophistication.
I’ve always been a fan of placing a few marble decorative pieces on my mantel whether it’s a vase, tray, or even a small sculpture.
It gives the fireplace an understated elegance, which makes it feel like your space is effortlessly glamorous.
19. Embrace Whimsy with Colorful Accessories
Spring is the season to embrace a bit of whimsy in your decor.
I personally love bringing in colorful accessories like a cute patterned bowl or a fun, quirky sculpture.
It might feel a bit unexpected for the fireplace area, but those little touches give the space personality and make it feel less formal.
Whether it is a bright yellow vase or an abstract ceramic sculpture, it is fun to play with colors that you wouldn’t normally gravitate toward.

20. Try a Floating Mantel
If you’ve got the space, consider installing a floating mantel.
It creates a more modern, open feel and gives your fireplace area a sleek, minimalist look.
A floating mantel is perfect for keeping things light and airy, allowing the natural light to flow through the space uninterrupted.
It’s also a super stylish way to take your fireplace decor into the 21st century.
21. Use Vintage Brass Accessories
I’m a huge fan of adding a touch of vintage brass decor to my fireplace whether it’s a set of candle holders, a small tray, or even an old-fashioned clock.
Brass has this lovely way of complementing all the natural light that spring brings without feeling too stuffy or formal.
It’s a nice balance between elegance and nostalgia.
22. Add Spring-Inspired Books to Your Mantel
Spring isn’t just about flowers and bright colors it is also about light, easy reading.
I love adding a few spring-inspired books to my fireplace mantel whether it’s a gardening book, a cookbook with fresh, seasonal recipes, or even a few novels with a lighter, breezy vibe.
It’s a subtle yet effective way to bring spring into your home. Plus, it also gives me an excuse to actually read those books I keep buying.
23. Use a Single Large Statement Vase
Sometimes, a single, large vase is all your mantel needs to make a statement.
I recently picked up a tall ceramic vase and filled it with fresh-cut flowers. It draws the eye right to the mantel without overwhelming the space.
The beauty of a single large vase is that you don’t need a lot of clutter to make a statement you are letting one piece shine.
24. Go for Soft, Natural Tones
Spring is all about lightness and freshness, so opting for soft, neutral tones throughout the fireplace decor can really make the space feel serene and peaceful.
Think light wood, soft beige, and white tones.
It is minimal, yes, but it creates a calming atmosphere that feels like a gentle breath of fresh air.
25. Hang Up Some Spring-Ready Garlands
Garlands aren’t just for Christmas. During spring, I love to hang up a light, whimsical garland of paper flowers or even pastel beads.
It’s an easy way to bring some festive fun to your fireplace without going overboard.
I recently hung a pastel pom-pom garland above my fireplace, and it brings just the right amount of cheer to the space without feeling like a circus.
26. Incorporate a Touch of Rattan
Rattan is such a versatile material, and I love incorporating it into my spring decor.
Whether it is a small rattan tray, a couple of baskets, or a light rattan chair nearby, it gives the fireplace area that warm, boho feel that is perfect for spring.
It is relaxed, earthy, and totally in tune with nature.
27. DIY Fireplace Mantel Refresh
If you are feeling adventurous and want a bit of a challenge, try a DIY fireplace mantel refresh.
You can paint the mantel, add some new shelving, or even create a custom piece that feels more spring-ready.
