Q. How can I decorate for Halloween without ghosts and goblins?
A. Halloween isn’t
just for kids anymore. The season has
grown up. Think fall decorating. Add
some Halloween touches the last couple of weeks in October and remove them November
1. You will be good to go through Thanksgiving!
Use color to set the theme. Soft shades of orange, russet, cinnamon, crimson paired with black make a
dramatic statement.
Use lots of candles for ambiance and grown up
spookiness.
Layer your table with fabrics and textures. We bring out our sweaters and jackets in the fall; do the same at
the dinner table. Warm and cozy.
Vintage Halloween decorations add
charming touches to your mantle or table.
Look for something unusual. I love the set of wood crows I found at Goodwill. They are perfect as
napkins rings. When arranged on a plate,
the crow appears to be sipping from
the soup!
Who said pumpkins are the only way to decorate for Halloween?
