Just In Time for Halloween
Whether you have kids or are just a kid at heart, decorating for Halloween can rekindle excitement for the holiday and make sure the trick-or-treaters keep coming back for more. You can infuse some festivity into your living space with some simple garden décor and home décor ideas.
Remember, you don't have to hang all of your holiday decoration every year. Some well-placed home décor ideas that follow a theme can be more aesthetically pleasing and more effective than holiday decorations scattered throughout the house.
An Indoor Halloween
Anything goes at Halloween, and the zany costumes chosen by trick-or-treaters make this clear. For your unique home décor, get in the true spirit of this non-conformist, spirited holiday and get creative. Remember the fun of Halloween as a child? Recapture this surreal, mystical, scary holiday by bringing the experience inside with decoration.\
Getting Ghoulish
These holiday décor ideas can enliven any home:
- Pumpkins, gourds, and Indian corn
- Skeletons
- Orange light bulbs
- A plastic witches cauldron for Halloween candy
- A decorative Halloween flag
- A graveyard scene
- Giant nylon inflatables: spiders, ghosts, witches, pumpkins
- A creative scarecrow
- A spider web
A Festive Garden
Whether your decorating for Halloween or for other holidays, it's great to match your garden to fit the season. Halloween showcases the bright oranges and blacks, but it also coincides with the harvest. Make your garden décor reflect the season by planting yellow and orange chrysanthemums, brightly colored mums, and pumpkin accents--the ultimate Halloween design.
