Not every mantel has to match the season or holiday on the horizon. Instead, there are ways to dress this space that will last throughout the months. If you want something neutral and just as stylish, we’ve found some of the best bouts of inspiration. These 14 pieces of DIY mantel decor can be used year round.

2. Gallery Wall

A gallery wall is one of the simplest ways to decorate above your mantle. Include pieces of artwork that you love and would love to look at all year long – not ones that only speak to a particular season. Just like you see here in this Brooklyn Bride setup.

3. Golden Heights

Sometimes just a piece of beautiful art will do the trick. One like you see here at HGTV works within the summer, fall, winter, and spring months without being too kitschy. It can stayed displayed throughout the holidays nicely.

5. Clocks

Clocks can be a fun addition to the mantel as well. We love larger designs that can stand on their own like this Pinterest find. But we also like smaller bits that can be turned into a collage of sorts.

Framed pieces on the mantel work well too. It’s a different take than a traditional gallery wall and less youthful – this is a more traditional route. Check out scenes like this on Pinterest.

Going the minimal route works too. Keep your edges clean and tidy, and don’t worry about cliche holiday decor. Go with neutral looks, install your TV, and maybe add a plant or two for some fresh vibes. We love this minimalistic trend we see here in this Pinterest scene.

11. Greenery
