The main color of these beautiful spring mantels is white. I’ll share colorful mantels later in this post, but let’s start with muted, understated but lovely white mantels first.
Many of these white mantels have a wreath as a focal point. And that makes total sense because, with a wreath, the rest of your mantel decor comes easy. Flank your wreath with a somewhat symmetrical arrangement of candle holders, vases, or frames. With a show-stopping center like a spring wreath, you can keep the rest of the mantel decor simple and light.
