How to Decorate Mantels With Peonies

Decorate your fireplace mantel with peonies to give the room a vibrant look and a heady scent. Peonies, which feature large, soft petals, are typically found in various shades of pink and white. You can enhance the mantel with fresh peonies from your garden during their bloom time in the spring and early summer. Along with live blooms, use peony-inspired decor items, such as candles, prints and glass pieces, to accent the look.


Place single pink or white peonies in several small ceramic or glass vases. Choose vintage white milk glass vases for pink peonies or colorful ceramic vases for white peonies. Use mason jars instead of vases for a casual, country-inspired look.

Line the vases of peonies up along the length of the mantle. Allow a space between each vase for a small votive holder.

Fill votive holders with candles and place them in the spaces between the vases to give the mantel a soft glow at night. Pick candles featuring hues, such as pink or green, to coordinate with the overall look of the mantel.

Hang a large, framed painting of peonies in a summer garden over the mantel to make the most of the wall space. Use a mirror instead of a painting to add visual space to the room and to reflect the flickering candles and the peonies.
