Posted on October 26, 2021

Decorating for Halloween is always fun because there are really no rules. You don’t have to worry about sticking to a color scheme and being super meticulous, you can really just go with the flow and decorate however you want. 

The Front Entrance 

Pumpkin carving is a fun way to have arts and crafts that turn into great decorations; and the kids will love it. You can pick your pumpkins right fromClark’s Elioak Farmin Howard County; if you’re located in ourBaughan Estatescommunity in Elkridge this is only about a 20 minute drive. Adding some decorative pumpkins to your front entrance is common and looks great. 

A fall wreath on the door ties in very nicely with the pumpkins and it’s also useful to have for the fall season. Wreaths come in all shapes and colors and match with just about anything.

Festive Lanternsare a great source of light and also offer a stylish addition to your front entrance. Depending on yourfloor plan, the lanterns can either be placed on the porch or the steps leading to the door. You also have the option to hang them on the sides of your door. 

Halloween in the Living Room 

Spookyaccent pillowsfor your couch are decorative and match with just about any accent color. You can either buy the spooky pillow or a decorative cover to go over the pillows you already have. Either way it’s a great way to add Halloween style to your living area.

Pillar Candlesare perfect for Halloween decor. A simple candle surrounded by Halloween decor gives the candle a whole new meaning. Pillar candles come in all sorts of colors and are even sold with Halloween decorations on them.
