Spooky Firesides:
Transform your fireplace mantle into a spot for Halloween decorations. Enhance the atmosphere with candles, dark candelabras and vintage-looking mirrors. Hang a collection of scary portraits or framed “wanted” posters of witches and wizards to create a captivating point.
Let Dinning Be With Drama:
Elevate your Halloween dining experience by incorporating centrepieces. Fill glass vases with dark roses with white striped tablecloths and add creepy crawlers like spiders and snakes. To add that touch, scatter skulls and skeletal hands throughout the dining area.
Add Mystery To Your Yards
Illuminate your yard with lanterns, create graveyard scenes adorned with tombstones and display silhouettes of witches and ghouls. Remember to include chilling effects for that extra thrill.
Let Your Furniture’s Speak:
Give your furniture a makeover by draping it in dark velvet fabrics to create a sinister atmosphere. Incorporate throw pillows featuring Halloween motifs such as bats, jack-o’ lanterns or skeletons.
Let There Be Light:
The right lighting can set the mood perfectly. Utilize flickering LED candles, coloured string lights and vintage lanterns to cast shadows that will create a haunting ambience.
Add The Creative Touch:
Try your hand at making Halloween decorations! You can paint pumpkins with faces, create hanging figures, or even make your own potion bottles with mysterious labels to add a personal touch.
Plan Your Entrance:
How about building a haunted house entrance? Give your door or living room entrance a makeover by adding weathered boards, broken windows and an old door that creaks. This will create an experience that sets the stage for Halloween.
Light The Doorway With Pumpkins And Skulls:
Across Mexico, you will find a lot of shops selling pumpkin lights and skulls, so if you happen to see these in your locality, do pick them up.
