How to Decorate Halloween Mantle

I put this Halloween Mantle together after seeing the mantle on Candice Stringham photography.

It just looks so unique with the twigs, black metal letter and creamy colored pumpkins.

The combination of white, black, cream and gold is maybe what you could consider an elegant Halloween look.

Items to decorate Halloween mantle

Using things that you already have around the house can add to the look of your Halloween mantle.

I had some black candle sticks, a bird cage that makes me think of Alfred Hitchcock’s movie the birds! A grapevine pumpkin and a couple of stacked books with a small urn sitting on top.

Even my huge clock adds to the Halloween look.

Placing things in different heights makes it look more interesting.

When everything is at the same height it tends to look flat.

My little orange pumpkin is taking center stage 😉 haha I think one of my grandkids put it on the mantle.

I created a couple of cute pumpkin crafts that would look so cute on here.

A black and white buffalo checked painted pumpkin and these super easy yarn pumpkins.

Halloween banner

I created this unique Halloween banner last year using all different kinds of paper, old jewelry, trim and little wooden cut outs.

Each pennant is 3 dimensional and one of a kind strung on ribbon.

Do you think this banner has a New Years Eve/Halloween combo feel to it? It kind of does!

Festive and Fun!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • I am not into scary or gore for Halloween, so I think your elegant and classic mantle just stunning! Love that beautiful banner! Kim @ Exquisitely Unremarkable

  • Love, love your banner! I did a b&w mantle in my basement family room. Your banner would have went wonderfully! I did create one using bingo cards. Had fun making it. Kind of fun to go with the b&W.

  • Love the contrast of the black and white. The clock is a perfect focal point to work around. Everything is balanced out so nicely. I have already pinned it so I can find it again later.

  • What a great mantle, everything is great. Love the clock. I know I am supposed to only comment on the Halloween stuff but that caught my eye.
