Ideally, with the shift of each season! Small changes—like swapping out greenery, adjusting candle colors, or layering new artwork—can keep your mantel feeling fresh without a full overhaul.

Start with neutral foundational pieces like classic candlesticks and artwork. Then, layer in seasonal accents—like a wreath for winter or fresh greenery for spring—to create a seamless transition.

Focus on balance and negative space. Too many small items can feel chaotic; instead, opt for a few statement pieces with varying heights to create a natural flow.

Candles, seasonal greenery, and simple art swaps are the most budget-friendly ways to give your mantel a new look without investing in entirely new decor.
