MK Life Tips: Halloween Decor Inspiration
/One of the best things about this month is Halloween! The minute October hits I bring out all of my Halloween decor. There’s nothing better than decorating the house for the holidays. Below I have curated some halloween home decor inspiration. Check it out:
Spook Up the Front Porch
Even if Halloween guests never enter your home — like trick-or-treaters — they'll definitely see the front porch so give it a festive feel with a colorful rug, lanterns, mums and piles of pumpkins. For a spooktastic finishing touch, we added a pair of gnarled faux trees that are wrapped in mini orange lights that'll cast a spell long after the witching hour
DIY Some Spooky Spiders
Easily craft these larger-than-life spiders with the kiddos for a fun Halloween craft that'll spook up your home — either indoors or out. Inexpensive craft store materials and a little imagination are all you need to build these creepy Halloween props. Make your own with our instructions, below.
Go a Little Batty
HGTV’s free bat template, scissors and black card stock are all you need to give your front door a batty transformation. You can keep it simple and just add a few flapping paper bats or really make Halloween magic and first cover the door in purple bulletin board paper and add a glowing city skyline.
Opt for Spook-Free
If your Halloween celebrations will include folks who are sensitive to scares or aren't fans of Halloween's more macabre aspects, skip the spooky decor altogether and opt instead for a classic fall front porch. Planters filled with a candle lantern and an assortment of pumpkins, gourds and fall foliage will suit the season from now till Thanksgiving.
Mummify Your Front Door
Easily trick out your front door with this frightful facelift that's a snap to craft — and is also a snap to remove when Halloween has passed. Learn how with the step-by-step tips, below.
