Halloween Décor You’ll Be Proud To Show Off

That bone-chilling October breeze is here and although you may have been avoiding the thought, it’s time to address the pressing question: Should you decorate for Halloween or not?

If last year’s plastic pumpkins and flimsy cutout gravestones are still haunting you, you’re not alone. There’s no need for your Halloween décor to horrify you—Or your neighbors.

Get into the spooky spirit with these haute Halloween décor tips.

Orange, Anything But Ordinary

Gorgeous orange pumpkins are the most obvious choice when it comes to Halloween décor, but you don’t want to look like another ordinary house on the block.

This year, take it up a notch and surprise your trick-or-treaters with a surplus of pumpkins of all sizes. The idea is to go completely overboard and create a mini pumpkin patch of your own.

There are a few ways to do this. If you have a long or curvy pathway, line both sides with the pumpkins leading up to your front door. It’s pleasing to the eye and creates instant impact on your street.

If you don’t have a front lawn, pile your pumpkins in clusters on your porch. Whether they’re side by side or stacked in groups, it creates a bold orange statement your trick-or-treaters will love.

For extra oomph on Halloween night, be sure to include a few candles into the mix. The soft glow of orange will ignite the sophisticated Halloween vibe you’re looking for.

Ghoulishly Green

How do you make something ghoulish and tasteful? Keep your color scheme simple.

Though we do love orange, it’s the most dominant Halloween color; so if you’d rather try something unique this Halloween, go ghoulishly green with your décor.

It’s all about experimenting with the fall elements. Pumpkins, gourds and corn stalks can all be spray-painted various shades of green for a dramatic Halloween look that screams “this house has good candy.”

Go a step further by incorporating green glass into your décor. Lined up your stairs or across your porch banister, green glass vases, candles and other glass accessories glow ghoulishly on Halloween night.

Black As Night

For a simple, sophisticated Halloween vibe, incorporate hints of black décor on your porch by creating a spooky focal point.

If you have an old rocking chair lying around, put it on display; the more rustic and worn out, the better.

If you don’t have a rocking chair on hand, a rustic piece like the Banka Accent Table will work just as nicely and won’t get damaged in the process. It’s about having a base for your haunted focal point.

First, string a package of faux spider webs across your base. You don’t have to go overboard; the goal is simply to create a weathered, spooky vibe.

Next, take 3-5 mismatched glass vases and place them on your base in a cluster. Fill them with dried black beans and black licorice pieces for a smoky touch of black.

Place various black spray-painted branches into each vase and your sophisticated Halloween focal point is complete without much hassle at all.

Another option is to add a few dark and spooky critters to your sit in your window or doorway to greet visitors…
