Wondering whether your favorite piece of Halloween decor is a bit too over the top to set out this year? As it turns out, many interior designers have a soft spot for seemingly tacky Halloween decorations, which can be styled to look extra festive and will bring the entire family joy.
Below, designers share six of their favorite go-to seasonal decorating techniques.
Think beyond solely decorating your front porch and extend your Halloween decor to the trees in your yard. Andrea Sinkin Jaffe, the founder of Andrea Sinkin Design, likes to make ghosts hang on branches by wrapping white sheets over styrofoam balls and drilling a string through them. If you'd like, you can use a permanent marker to draw eyes onto your ghosts for extra effect.
«They have that undulating movement to them when the breeze hits to make them extra realistic,» she says. «They’re not super scary, so they’re good for little kids and big kids—meaning adults.»
No yard? You can hang your ghosts indoors, for example, in the hallways and archways.
