Have a Hearth! Valentine’s Day Decorations for your Mantel
If you are like me, you love to bring every holiday into your home. What better time to add some hearts? Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to add some romance to your fireplace and hearth. With just a little imagination and some information from this blog, you, too, can enjoy the holiday with a little extra romantic ambience.
Key Elements You May Want To Think Of?
Balance: When you look at your mantle, start with one large object in the center, maybe a piece of artwork or a mirror. Balance the two sides with two large pillar candles to start. Choose to use a three-piece vignette.
Color: Choose colors that complement your style with a Valentine’s theme. Incorporate tones of pink, red, and terracotta.
Lighting: Add some romance by using twinkle lights. Filter them around your candles and across the mantle.
Style: Whatever your style is, there is a Valentine’s decor for you.
If you favor a farmhouse look, incorporate what your mantle already has to enhance it. Use your wooden signs that may have Valentine sayings. Use burlap and twine as ribbons around your candles.
A minimalist style doesn’t mean bare. Play with height, not quantity. Use taller pieces such as vases, candles, or art that may lean on the mantel. Using neutrals of one to three colors will also enhance your look.
Modern Valentine. The vibe is sleek, graphic, and bold. Colors you choose may be black, white, and a blush palette. Use sculptured vases or geometric candleholders.
Romantic Classic Valentine. Your vibe might be soft, elegant, and timeless. Use antique-style frames with love quotes or vintage prints. Use candlesticks of mercury glass and crystal.
Playful Valentine. Use what makes you happy. Mix pinks and reds. Cut some paper or felt hearts. Candy jars or garland made of love notes.
Budget-Friendly Mantels.
There is no need to spend a lot of money on your mantel.
Don’t forget DIY. There are so many ideas on the web and social media.
Search your local thrift store. You can always find candle holders and vases. Look past the color, it is amazing what a can of paint can do.
Check out your local dollar store. They always have holiday items. Incorporate some subtle items into your Valentine mantel decor.
Whatever you choose, have fun with it!

Most of all, be safe. When decorating your mantel, don’t hang items that could interfere with the heat from your fireplace and catch fire.
