Your home is full of happy, special memories. Make some more this Halloween by creating a thrilling and haunting space that will send shivers down the spines of all who enter.
Halloween is your opportunity to have some fun and make the most of the suddenly darker nights, made worse by the clocks going back. Whether you are decorating for a great party and inviting friends around for a few drinks or looking for some ideas to entertain the kids, here are a few ideas to inspire a horrible Halloween!
Greetings
From the moment your guests set eyes on your property, they need to feel a little spooked by your efforts. Create a path to your home with candles. You can't have Halloween without pumpkins. And if you’re feeling extra creative, paint them in addition to carving them.
A spooky garden
There’s nothing quite like a spooky garden, even if you don’t party in it. The mere sight of it through your windows should be enough to raise a few hairs. The choice is yours: skeletons, webs, bats, candles, scary signs, and very scary scarecrows! Your imagination is your only limitation. Go online, check out the supermarkets or make your own stuff. Create a dimly lit walk to the shed of horror. With unexpected sound effects and music to add atmosphere.
The shed of horror
Whatever your guests most fear, then perhaps concentrate all your efforts on whatever that is! Perhaps your shed already has a few spiders living in it. Maybe add a giant spider that suddenly appears as you open the door. Maybe you prefer an old witch sitting in a chair with a cauldron? Whatever you prefer, don’t be too scared!
Go natural
If you prefer a more understated and natural approach to Halloween, perhaps you could take a more sustainable approach. Avoid plastics and manufactured decorations. Utilise leaves, conkers, pines, and wreaths. Add a few well-placed candles for a haunting atmosphere. You can still be creative and create decorations and costumes in a more sustainable fashion that are to your taste.
