analysis: Halloween House – Some Decoration Ideas

For Halloween Only:

perhaps you want something that will be frightening – something that will be just for Halloween. A design that goes up and then comes down after the 31st. Let’s review some ideas to consider:

• Start With Cob Webs:

  they add to the scary scene – plus the webs give you support to attach and hang Halloween ghouls. Drape the cob webs around and across your porch in a wave-like fashion.

• Decorate With Skeletons:

  skeletons make great Halloween decor. You can hang them piece meal around the the web draping. Add varying types of skeletons over each window – including a set of skeleton heads that represent voodoo magic.

• Add Spiders and Bats:

  every web has to have a spider – one that is big and hairy. Bats are also a Halloween symbols that hang around the door entrance.

• Tombstone Light Cover:

  perfect decorating element to cover the porch light – might want to change the light bulb with a colored bulb for that eerie look.

• Final Observation:

  this decorative scene may frighten some of the little kids away – but for the bigger kids – they will appreciate that decor that makes their Halloween night fun and frightful.

• Start With Two Rocking Chairs:

  something you can buy new or used that can be used year-round. But for now, decorate them up to become ma and pa with a stitched pumpkinf face that can look like like ma and pa or some other family member. The stitching can include hair and a hat – a decoration that can work for fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving.

• Throw In Some Halloween:

  with some “boo” hanging on the doors and windows. Tie a black bow with a fall decoration to the lamp posts. We you have is a simply Halloween look that will be easy to setup and remove.

• Throw In Some Fall:

  every porch needs to be decoracted with mums – the flower of the season. The illustration above used planter urns to plant the mums. Other late summer and early fall flowering baskets are placed on the steps and other areas of the porch.

• Throw In Some Thanksgiving:

  once Halloween is over, replace the “boo” deorations with “giving thanks” decor that show the fall colors. Uncarved pumpkins and ghords can round out the display that will take it into the Thanksgiving season.
