You don’t want them running for the hills — well, not until after they’ve finished trick-or-treating! If you’re ready to take your home from basic bro on the horror scale and into full-on scary territory, you’ve come to the right place. Either way, we have everything you need to know about creating a home that will give visitors goosebumps all year long.

Whether you live alone or with roommates, we have tips on how to make your house both family-friendly and frightfully fun at the same time.

Add Atmosphere with Lighting

Lighting is everything when it comes to setting the mood for a scary party. After all, the most important thing to remember when hosting a spooky soirée is that you want the guests to have a great time. Having the right lights can help set the tone for your spooky bash. Turn on the black lights! Black lights are not only helpful for creating an eerie atmosphere, but they can also help your guests see where they’re going when they hit the dance floor. Black lights are best used on white, blue, and other light colours, as they will make them glow under the light. Black lights are often used in clubs, as they give off a cool vibe.

Turn Your Home into a Graveyard

No collection of Halloween decorations is complete without a graveyard, and luckily for you, it’s super easy to make. A graveyard is a great way to decorate a large corner of your home, such as the living room or dining room. Make your graveyard look authentic by covering the floor with some dirt and a few fake gravestones. Using fake gravestones that have their names on them will make it easier to remember which plants are supposed to be where. Then, add some fake bodies lying around (not real ones, of course). You can also add fake spiderwebs and some pumpkins to create a spooky look.

Don’t Forget the Windows

For many, windows are the trick-or-treaters’ gateway into the home. If you don’t want to scare off the neighbourhood kids, it’s best to make sure your windows are ready to go. To create a spider web on your windows, all you need is a black marker and a string of some sort, such as a fishing line. Simply put the mark on your windows however you’d like, such as in a web-like pattern or a criss-cross formation.

Go Big with Statues

Statues are great for any collection, but they’re especially spooky during the Halloween season. To create a ghoulish garden, buy a few large, creepy-looking statues and add them to your yard. If you have a small yard, you can still add a creepy statue or two, you just might have to put them on your porch instead. If you have a large yard, you can also add a few smaller statues to your garden. Putting a few smaller statues in your garden is a great way to add a spooky touch without taking up a lot of space.

Add a Touch of Creepy Romance With Flowers

While Halloween is normally associated with creepiness and spookiness, it can also be a time of romance. To add a romantic touch to your home for Halloween, consider adding some flowers to your house. Flowers like roses, tulips, and lilies are great for adding a romantic touch to your home. You can also go with plants like orchids and spider plants.

Easter Egg Hunt Edging Ideas

Easter and Halloween share a lot of imagery and tradition. Because of this, there are plenty of ways to combine the two holidays into one celebration. One of the easiest ways to do this is to use Easter eggs as decorations. You can display them anywhere in your home, but they look especially great as edging. You can use Easter eggs to edge your garden, around the foundation of your home, or even in pots. To edge your garden or around your home’s foundation, simply place the eggs on the ground. To edge in pots, place the eggs on top of the dirt. It’s also an idea to put a little bit of water in the bottoms of the pots to keep the eggs from drying out.

The Final Touch: A Creepy Hook

The best way to keep your visitors from taking their jackets off is to have a coat hook in the entryway. However, for a more spooky touch, you can use a skull hook instead. To make a skull hook, you’ll need plywood, paint (black is best), a saw, screws or nails, a screwdriver, and a hammer. You can also use a premade skull piece and just mount it to the wall with screws or nails. Now that you know how to create the perfect Halloween decorations, it’s time to get started. Whether you want to create a graveyard, go all out with spider webs, or even put a few creepy plants in pots, you can do it all. Halloween is the perfect time to get creative with decorations, and they’re great for any occasion.
