Cheap Or Expensive Decorations?

Who doesn’t want to get the most for their money? Getting a deal on something you want is also amazing.

However, buying cheap isn’t always the answer. Those decorations often need to go in the trash after Halloween is over.

It’s normally those items that are covered in sticky stuff that will stick to everything and never look good again.

Unless you are a magician you might have to get rid of anything that you decorated with spider webs. These are horrible for getting them stored away for another year!

Getting a few pieces each year that you know will be used for a few years, makes the most of your money whilst growing your holiday decorations at the same time.

Finding The Right Halloween Decorations

What is important when decorating your home for Halloween, is that whilst it is fun to go over the top, it is easier to do this in stages and not all in one go.

Let me explain:

You want the whole works when it comes to decorating your home, but have you got four or five hours spare to tackle such a task?

If you only have small windows of time to take your home from a summer theme to a full-on Halloween freak out, it’s possible to do this in stages.

Start small, get the ornaments out that you put away each year, you know those good ones that cost a bit more, but you will get years of use from them.

Clean them up, dust and dirt can settle on anything even in storage.

Find their temporary home for the next few weeks. These are always first out and last to put away.

Getting Closer To Halloween

Now it’s getting closer to Halloween, build into your weekly plan one or two tasks a week where you are adding more and more decorations.

As you have already got out the more expensive stuff on display getting help with the decorations that you know won’t last the season is perfect for little helpers.

They will have loads of fun making and creating Halloween decorations.

Try breaking down the decoration-making into smaller tasks and get other family members to help too, it’s about making those special memories.

Slowly, bring out the Halloween decorations adding one or two a week, that way it just brings out the season slowly and you don’t get overwhelmed and start to hate your home.

Here are a few different options, you could go for a fabric storage box like these ones or something more sturdy like a plastic bin option. These will protect the items better but are bulkier.

It isn’t all about trick or treating, it’s the beginning of the party season, a change from the summer BBQs and the lazy summer evenings to something that is a little bit livelier and a lot more fun.

Halloween is the perfect time to experiment with some fun decorations that will make your party the one to beat next year.
