What is the celebration?
This festival is a way to protect yourself from evil spirits.
Halloween is the season of spooks, ghosts, and the eerie. This is the time when Halloween enthusiasts transform their homes with the perfect mix of enchantment and unpredictability. Well! It is easy to decorate a birthday cake, but it takes an expert to make the decoration eerie. Here are some ideas to make your house a place of horror.
Are you ready? This Halloween, try these ideas:
Spooky Fancies:
Transform the fireplace mantle to a place for Halloween decorations. Candles, candelabras in dark colors and mirrors with vintage looks will enhance the atmosphere. Hanging a series of scary witches’ and wizards’ posters or “wanted” portraits will create an interesting focal point.
Let Dining Be Dramatic:
Add centrepieces to your Halloween dinner experience. Fill vases with roses in dark shades and place them on white-striped tablecloths. Add creepy crawlers such as spiders and serpents. Spread skulls and skeletal hand pieces around the dining room to add that special touch.
Add mystery to Your Yards
Create graveyard scenes with tombstones. Display silhouettes of witches or ghouls. Include chilling effects to add an extra element of terror.
Let your furniture speak:
Use dark velvet to give your furniture an eerie look. Throw pillows with Halloween-themed motifs like bats, Jack-o’-lanterns or skeletons can be used.
Let there be light:
The perfect lighting will set the mood. Use vintage lanterns, LED candles and coloured string lighting to create an eerie atmosphere.
Add the Creative Touch:
Make your own Halloween Decorations. You can decorate pumpkins by painting faces on them, creating hanging figures or making your own potion bottle with mysterious labels.
Plan Your Entrance:
What about building an entrance to a haunted home? Add weathered boards and broken windows to your living room or door entrance. You can also add an old creaking door. It will set the scene for Halloween.
You will find pumpkin lights and skulls in many shops across Mexico. If you see them, grab them. You can hang them with creepy climbers on the doorway. Create an image of a cat with black eyes that sparkle and have her greet your guests. True! This will certainly make your guests spooked and your evening Instagram worthy.
In conclusion:
Plan a Halloween party for your family and friends to feel the terror in your home. When the right ideas and techniques are used, amazing events can happen. We want to wish you Happy Halloween and hope that our ideas will help you create a perfect creep.
