 This Halloween, incorporate rich fall colors into your home decor to enjoy autumn beauty both inside and out. The warm hues add a seasonal element — and a little fun, too. Scary Outside Delights Decorate your front yard to attract pint-sized, costumed visitors. Here’s how you can create a trick-or-treat hot-spot.
- A jack-o-lantern is a Halloween classic. Carve your pumpkin and proudly display it. Easy stencils make complex witch, werewolf and scary-face designs a breeze.
- Use rechargeable outdoor tea lights and Halloween-themed string lights as safer alternatives to candles. They’ll create a glowing atmosphere.
- Build a scarecrow — all you need is wooden garden stakes, pillows, straw and old clothes.
Indoor Treats Turn your inner dwelling into a Halloween haven. Try these decor ideas:
- Fill clear glass bowls with bright orange, yellow and white candy corn. Little fingers can hardly resist the edible decorations.
- Use a fruit-filled bowl as a table centerpiece. Apples and pomegranates work nicely, and you’ll love their fresh aroma and natural look.
- Candles create a shadowy ambiance. They also fill the room with seasonal scents like pumpkin and apple. A little autumn potpourri beautifully accents the candles, too.
Harvest Celebrations Bring out your home’s harvest and fall hues. These easy, inexpensive touches work wonders.
- Arrange artificial flowers, dried leaves and gourds in wreaths and centerpieces, or use them to trim the mantle and staircase.
- A rich tablecloth will warm up your dining room. Harvest vegetable- or pumpkin-themed placemats work well, too. Decorate metal rings with autumn leaves — they make instant napkin holders.
- Incorporate rich, earth-tone slipcovers. Your furniture and pillows will have that autumn feel, but you’ll stay on budget.
