8 INDOOR HALLOWEEN DECOR IDEAS & INSPIRATION
One thing that makes indoor decorating for Halloween so fun is the fact that the possibilities are endless. The colors, patterns, and themes to choose are limitless. Decorating for Halloween can be fun and gets you excited for the season but thinking of new Halloween decoration ideas every year can be difficult.
Hosting a Halloween party? Tie everything together with a theme or color from centerpieces to serving dishes. You can also choose from a variety of themed Halloween party invitations to match your indoor decorations.
When it comes to decorating your home with Halloween-friendly items, there are a variety of ways you can create a unique space. Here are a few helpful Halloween decorating tips and tricks to help get your creativity flowing and to make your space picture worthy.
1. UN-DECORATE BEFORE YOU DECORATE
Take your normal picture frames off the walls and decorations off all the surfaces including tables, counters, and shelves.
When you add Halloween decorations on top of your normal décor, the result looks cluttered and confused.
Put all the focus on your Halloween decorations by making them the center of attention. Fill empty spots that other picture frames left by hanging Halloween plates or spooky decorations.
2. CONSIDER A THEME
When choosing Halloween decorations, tie your items together with a common theme.
From ghosts to mummies to witches or simply decorating with pumpkins, a cohesive theme can make your decoration shopping easier.
3. DECORATE WITH HALLOWEEN PUMPKINS
We all love the classic Jack-O-Lanterns, but pumpkins can be used in many different ways for Halloween decor. For a more chic look, try painting pumpkins, or using glue with glitter or buttons.
Pumpkins can be used outside as a welcome sign after being painted, or inside as table or mantelpiece Halloween decor.
Try painting a pumpkin with chalkboard paint and keeping a countdown to Halloween!
4. FOCUS ON ONE COLOR SCHEME
A classic orange and black color scheme for your decorations always looks great.
You could also try a creepy black and green color scheme or go sophisticated with black and silver.
Try not to mix more than three of these bold colors. This will keep your house looking put together and sophisticated.
5. INCORPORATE EASY CRAFTS
Choose a few craft projects to complete your decoration list so the little ones can get involved as well. Decorating for any holiday is always a fun experience and getting your kids on board makes it even better.
6. USE CANDLES
Candles are a great way to set the mood for Halloween.
Mix and match different sizes and heights of candles on a mantle or as the centerpiece on a table. Dim the lights and the candle glow will give all the rest of your decorations a scary flickering shadow!
7. SCARE FACTOR
From fake spiders to skeletons, Halloween decorations are all about the scare. If you want to create a dramatic set-up, don’t forget to include a staple Halloween item that’s scary to make your decorations stand out.
8. ELEGANT FACTOR
Indoor Halloween decor does not have to be spooky or scary at all. You can go with a more elegant factor.
Consider a monochromatic look with all-white Halloween pumpkins and another accent color to tie everything in like gold or rose gold.
