Welcome Spring Wildflower Print Wooden Mantel Plaque - White

This wooden mantel plaque brings a fresh, cheerful note to the home, with the words Welcome Spring set across a white face scattered with a pastel wildflower print. The welcome is spelt out in tall soft blue capitals, while spring follows in a loose, flowing script, and around both runs a meadow of pink, yellow and blue blooms with slender green stems and leaves. It is made from MDF with a printed finish, in a long rectangular shape that measures 30.5cm wide, 6cm tall and 3cm deep, so it sits comfortably along a narrow ledge.

A slim plaque of this length suits the mantelpiece, where it can rest between candlesticks, a little vase or a row of cards, but it is just as happy on a bookshelf, a windowsill or the top of a sideboard. At only 6cm tall it slips in front of a mirror or picture without hiding it, and at 3cm deep it fits a narrow shelf. The white ground keeps it light and airy in a hallway, kitchen, living room or conservatory, and the soft colours of the flowers sit easily with pale woods, sage greens and creamy neutrals. We like it as a simple way to mark the turn of the year towards longer days and fresh blooms.

The board is MDF, printed with the white background, the wildflowers and the lettering for a clean finish that keeps every petal crisp. To look after it, dust with a soft dry cloth, or wipe gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, as MDF is best kept dry; keep it indoors, away from steam and standing water. Pair it with a jug of tulips or daffodils on the mantelpiece for an easy spring display, or wrap it with a bunch of flowers as a cheerful gift for anyone who loves a garden feel at home.
