Spring is the perfect season to decorate your home using natural elements! Outside all of nature is reawakening after a long and cold winter. Spring bulbs are popping through the earth in our flower beds. Birds are chirping and making nests for a new family! So, let’s bring some elements from nature into our spring home decor. As an example, I’m going to share my spring mantel.
Natural Elements Spring Mantel

BIRD NESTS


SPRING Birds and ANIMALS found in nature
The next item I added to my mantel was a large glass cloche with a cement bird on a “nest” of vintage books! Don’t you agree that this bird is weathered to perfection! I have several bird statues/figures that I use in my decor. Rabbits, sheep and even butterflies are also good accents for spring. Think about these creatures in your artwork as well.


Moss, Raffia, and More
Moss and raffia balls, preserved greens like this boxwood topiary are great natural elements you can bring into your spring decor. Faux eggs and spring blooms are also great options. Consider cutting some branches from your blooming trees or shrubs to bring indoors.

We had a bit of snow again this morning, but it sounds like more spring like weather is on it's way! Can't wait! Thanks for stopping by!
You always blow me away with your beautiful styling! I adore every detail!
You're too sweet, Lisa! Thanks for stopping by!
Your mantel is so pretty! I love wire vine…we grow it outside in pots and in the garden. It's super easy and tolerates heat well. 🙂
naturally lovely…it has an ease about it
Just beautiful! I included your wondeful mantel as a part of my 10 AMAZING SPRING PROJECTS. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
So pretty, Doreen! The greenery makes me long for our "real" spring to arrive!

What a beautiful mantel!
As I sit by the fire on this freezing cold day, I am loving your spring touches and hoping it warms up quickly! Love everything you did – the nests are perfect!

Doreen,
Your mantle is beautiful! I love the touches of green–as a matter of fact it is nourishment to my winter weary soul! And I loved last year's mantle also! Again, just the right amount of green to give one hope that spring is coming. Can't wait!

Gorgeous! I love it all, but especially the little bird under the cloche; so creative! I'm pinning this one…
Your mantel looks beautiful!
OMGosh I love your mantel! And I love last year's mantel too! I'm really struggling to put mine together. Decorating is not my strongest suit. I keep texting photos to a girlfriend, and she's been helping, but it's not done yet 🙁 You've inspired me. Blessings, Diana visiting from Wow Us Wed.
Beautiful! I love all that greenery so much!

I absolutely love this mantel! Though we don't have a fireplace in our little one-bedroom-apartment, we do have a puzzling space over our TV in our entertainment center. I will definitely be referring to this post as inspiration when I tackle it!
I love your mantel so full of spring green and textures. I think I might just have to visit my local nursery and see what spring plants they have. Have a wonderful day. Alaina
I love your style and pinned several of your pictures! They are beautifully taken. Thanks for sharing.
Elaine
just perfect, love all the textures of green and white. so fresh and Springy!
So very pretty! Love your mantel. Blessings to you…
Love the cloche in your mantel vignette, Doreen. I also used some greenery balls and nests on mine {although it is pretty narrow so I'm limited}. I keep mine decorated pretty much the same throughout the year, just changing out those little things to acknowledge the seasons/holidays. Yours looks very fresh and pretty!
Doreen,
This is absolutely lovely!
I adore decorating with birds and nature based theme all year through!
Thank you for always inspiring!
