Incorporating Halloween into Interior Design
Halloween decorations can often feel ‘cheesy’ or ‘over-the-top’, especially in elegantly designed homes. However you do not have to sacrifice style for the festive season, there are many ways to incorporate seasonal decorations and fun into your home while maintaining beautiful designs and elegant style, without comprising your home and completely redecorating your home with bright orange pumpkins and spider webs…
Many luxury homes have opted to have bespoke joinery and furniture to add value and décor to their home, there are ways to add seasonal touches to these pieces too, using clever interior design techniques. If you have a large display unit which becomes a feature wall, why not utilise this to your advance and ass some classy seasonal decorations that compliment your existing décor? By adding small glass or ceramic pumpkins to your display, you are able to add seasonal touches that are both subtle and classy but pack an autumnal feel. You can experiment with different sizes, colours, and materials to create different looks and atmospheres. People typically think of bright orange when it comes to pumpkins, but you can find a fresh perspective using creams or sage or perhaps darker shades of orange to create a classic and traditional look.
Long black pillar and dinner candles are an excellent way to add spooky and seasonal touches to console and dinner tables, as well as provide ambience and atmosphere when lit. To impress family and guests around the dinner table during the Halloween season, replace your regular cutlery with black flatware and seasonal glassware and decanters.
Tailoring your seasonal centrepieces around the Halloween season can be an elegant and impressive creation by using dried gourds. Incorporating autumnal colours is an effective way of leaving lasting impressions with a temporary design.

Experimenting with string lights adds warmth to the atmosphere with some incorporating autumn leaves to their design.

Outdoor décor does not have to take the form of fibreglass tombstones or plastic skeletons that dangle from your door. Instead, add autumnal wreaths to your front door to set the tone as soon as you walk through the door. Adding black lanterns double up as seasonal decoration as well as Halloween décor to gardens, doorsteps, and porches – what may come across as simple outdoor lighting, can provide a sinister ambience.
