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 work when it comes to decorating 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.

Outside decoration and some more indoor decorating are always great ways to get the kids to help.

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.

Getting Your Halloween Planned Out

Planning your Halloween is going to help, spend time thinking about what you need to do in advance and make a list.

Remember to note down any ideas that you will need to shop for, and if you can, do this early.

Some items will need purchasing closer to the actual day, especially if you are planning to buy sweets, or is it just my home that sweets seem to disappear?

Your Taste In Halloween Decorations

Subtle or over-the-top Halloween accessories?

It depends on what you want your home to look like there are something things to consider including:

• Cleaning
• Storage boxes are always a great idea
• Taste of decorations

The more you have out the harder it is to clean and can make your home feel cluttered.

If you want cheap Halloween decorations then storage isn’t a problem, they just go in the bin.

Storing Halloween Decorations

Storage is an important factor in deciding what to have, if you are planning to store them for next Halloween then you need to have a safe, dry place to store the items.

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.

Halloween Party Decorations

If you are intending to throw a Halloween party, getting the decoration right will impress your party guests.

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.

I know that Halloween is all about the spooky and the scary and while it is a great time to have some fun, the decorations can and will say a lot about the party that you have planned for your guests.

So, think carefully about the choices you make and the impression you want your guests to have.
