CURATE THE SPACE - LESS IS MORe!
When it comes to decorating your home, sometimes less really is more. Instead of selecting lots of bold, statement pieces to fill the space, opt for an understated look with accents of black and white to create a minimalist feel. By layering a multitude of fabrics, textures and decorations you can curate an interesting space without experimenting with too many loud patterns or vivid colours.
Move away from Halloween specific decorations and look for lanterns, paper decorations and art prints that when appropriately styled evoke a haunting aesthetic. By selecting versatile pieces that can last all year round, you can cut costs and live more sustainably.
First impressions count, and the entrance to your home is the perfect place for you to set the scene with a haunting first impression. Decorate the front door with a balloon garland, paper decorations or even make your own Halloween wreath to greet guests on arrival.
Accessorise with Pumpkins
Pumpkins are synonymous with Halloween, with many homeowners now visiting the pumpkin patch as a social event before documenting the experience on social media. With so many different colours and shapes available, many people are turning away from the traditional orange design in favour of something more decorative and unique looking.
With white pumpkins continuing to increase in popularity many retailers now offer ceramic or clay alternatives. Driven by social media trends the small decorative pieces, when carefully placed around the home, can add depth creating an expensive luxe feel. To further embellish and decorate your pumpkin, play around with paints, gold foil or stencils for a custom look.
Elegant Entertaining
Trick or treating may be off the cards this year, but Halloween can still provide the perfect opportunity to brush up on your cocktail-making skills; construct an opulent bar area with tasteful décor and interesting homemade concoctions to entertain family and friends.
Or perhaps you’re hosting a dinner party? Look for interesting shaped glasses, and unusual tableware to create an inviting and inspiring spread. Select table linen in different colours and designs to create a mismatched monochrome scheme with added texture.
