Aqua is the perfect color to bring the beach coastal look in and a color that you can truly use year round. Like on this mantel! You don’t need a mantel to style this way and can do a similar look on a shelf or bookcase and even create fall table decorations by piling the pumpkins on high. I showed you how to do that in THIS POST, one of the most popular around here!
Let’s go through a little step by step to get you started!
Coastal Fall Mantel Ideas With Velvet Pumpkins
- Clear the clutter…just like I always recommend when styling something new.
- After clearing the previous clutter I wiped down the mantel and added some silver tipped eucalyptus just tossed lengthwise across the mantel.
- Then I just began layering and you can see more of how I styled this look in the straight on photo below. Don’t just line things up…look at your angles and put some of the pumpkins sideways or prop against the wall or each-other.
- Watch for movement of color and use a variety of colors in your mix.
- Add in any additional accessories, and here I added some velvet acorns, old tattered books and some white roses. Notice how I used a vintage Mason jar to hold some roses and picked the color aqua back up in that?
I can envision these on my beach farm table and they will make for a fabulous centerpiece. You can see that I don’t have a million gazillion velvet pumpkins here, but have filled in with a bird’s nest and everything else that I’ve mentioned. This is how you stretch your decorating dollar to go further…by filling in your main focal point with what you already own or can grab from the garden!
Fall is my favorite season and I have so many great things planned to share with you coming up! Do you have a specific request? I’d love to hear from you via comments below and don’t forget that you can subscribe and never miss a post!
How exciting. Aqua is MY color. I am the last person alive that does not have even one of those beauties1
I want those pumpkins and I live your blog.
Oh there are those exquisite pumpkins again….I loved your velvet pumpkin vignette before and thought that it could not get any better, but you always knock these vignettes, mantelscapes and tablescapes out of the park…Would I love to win some gorgeous velvet pumpkins and acorns too?…you bet!….I love the aqua…so perfect for your home!….
I would be thrilled to be able to purchase velvet pumpkins, of course! And maybe a few acorns and mushrooms too…they are all gorgeous…
I love your pics!!!

Think of all of the pretty additions to be displayed with these pumpkins for any holiday from Christmas, to Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter oh I could go on!!
Your mantel design with those gorgeous turquoise and grey pumpkins with the roses is delicious! The addition of the charminf nested velvet acorns is charming! It doesn't get more beautiful than that. What a lovely vignette!
Your blog is what dreams are made of……These pumpkins really take the cake! One of my new favorite colors is turquoise and these shimmer like jewels. I love purple too so I would have a hard time deciding which velvet pumpkin set to get. Keep sending me daydreams on your blog. My favorite item in your shop that I daydream of is the blue mason jar chandelier. Simply lovely!
Janet, I'm head over heels in love with velvet pumpkins. Your mantel vignette is glorious! I've tried to find some fresh eucalyptus, but no luck so far. I love it for fall arrangements.

Janet,
Your decor is lovely, as always! If I won the $100 I would use it toward the leather pumpkins gold set. Or the silver set. Probably both! As much as I love the Velvet, and have a few at home, those leather pumpkins are the stuff of dreams!
Thank you for hosting another wonderful give away!
xo, Anita
I have loved these velvet pumpkins for so long. I especially love the turquoise and taupe combination you have. Would love to win and thank you for the opportunity and the great blog. Blessings, [email protected]

Hi, I have been a follower of yours for awhile and would love a chance to win a set of the pink pumpkins to share with my little sister ~ she is a 2 yr breast cancer survivor. This would absolutely be a wonderful addition to her milestone celebrations!!! May god bless!
I too love the turquoise and taupe combination and Love Feast's pumpkins are beautiful in any color! I have hunter green leather couches from the 90's that I have to work around so I would probably stick with the taupe pumpkins. Your blog inspires me with your neutrals and whites, and the thought of slip covering those green couches is pretty tempting….Thanks , Janet, for all the efforts you put into making life beautiful!
I love the NEW Velvet Pumpkin Halloween Large Set w/ Acorns.
