Every year, Halloween decor gets better and better. There are so many realistic choices, from the traditional to the modern that it can be difficult to choose what you want. And what will look best for your situation. The tips and ideas below will give you a good indication of what to expect and should give you some ideas that will help make sure you have a colourful and memorable Halloween this time round.
Halloween lighting
One of the easiest and best ways to brighten up your house for Halloween is with the effective use of lights. A few strategically placed lights can really make a difference and help to set the right mood, even without having many other decorations.
The simplest types of lights are single colour lights that are otherwise similar to Christmas lights. Such lights are normally orange or purple, but you should try to match your theme. Remember that Halloween is traditionally a black, purple, and orange time.
You can of course also get much more extravagant lighting like pumpkin, skull or ghost themed ones.
Inflatable type decorations
Inflatables have become very popular and mainly affordable in recent times. They can make a huge impact and yet only need filling with air when required which means that they don't take up a lot of storage space. And, with so many children around and not just adults, there is little risk from stray cigarette ends!
Some of them are really great, for example, you can get a 9-foot air blown ghost that plugs into a wall socket that moves around and looks "alive".
Setting the scene
Scene setters are products that make it easy change the look of your house and make it look like it has come straight out of a popular horror movie.
The simplest form of scene setter is rolls of paper that are mounted on the walls of your house. You can even get covers for your doors that give the appearance of an entrance to a haunted house or an old jail.
A novel type of scene setter is a "grabber" which is mounted to a ceiling, mirror or on the floor. These feature a transparent surround that blends seamlessly with the surface on which it is placed. This really does look like Freddy Krueger is tearing his way out of a hole in the floorboards!
Other Halloween Decorations
There are many many other unique and novel decorations that don't fit into any of the categories above but are admirably suited to a Halloween celebration. You can pick and choose depending on the kind of setting you want to create.
For example, you could obtain crime scene tape, some fake roaches or even a jack-o-lantern bubble machine. Then there are the old, but very relevant, classics such as paper hangers that look like spiders, ghostly apparitions, or skeletons. In fact these days we are spoilt for choice, so get out there, decorate, and have a ball this Halloween.
