With all of the brightly colored and somewhat-childish decorations out there, it may be difficult to celebrate a stylish and chic Halloween in your home. It may feel like there’s plenty of time to prepare for Halloween, but it’s only weeks away! Get a head start and check out our favorite ways to bring the Halloween spirit into your home, without sacrificing style:
Vignette
A vignette tells a story and is an easy way to add festive flair. Stay in a neutral color palette and display on a gold plate or gold-rimmed mirror.
Spooky Shelves
Consider a spooky bookshelf a subtle alternative to a full mantel or tabletop. Tuck in touches of Halloween using pumpkins in coordinating colors and patterns and add a skeleton hand and a fake blackbird.
Use Masks to Tell the Story
What is more dramatic and mysterious than a mask? Arrange masks on a dinner table when entertaining in October or use them throughout your home for Halloween flair. When paired with a tall candelabra, the look is extra spooky.
Celebrate with Flowers
If pumpkins, cobwebs, and witches’ hats are not your thing, consider using flowers, leaves, and other natural elements. This bouquet of warm-toned blooms in a matte black vase definitely says, “Happy Halloween.” Small touches like a pumpkin keep this space feeling autumnal, not over-the-top.
Greet Your Guests with a Batty Welcome at the Front Door
This look is easy, and it combines style with a touch of spooky. Add some black bats to your wreath-adorned front door. Scatter some pumpkins and you have an elegant, themed look.
