Home Style: Halloween decorations you can easily scare up
22.09.11
Scaring up a elegant Halloween look at home is easy when you use your imagination and have the above-board tools.
Many of the ideas here I've presented before — and certainly be relevant to repeating.
If you use kitschy Halloween props like skeletons and "dismembered" substance parts in your décor, don't overdo it. For instance, one Halloween I wanted to give guests a shock when they stepped onto my porch, so I reclined a skeleton on the chaise and put a sample of one of my books in its hands.
Another year, I placed scrim-covered skeletons in the multitude and hostess chairs in my dining room, positioning them like they were fit out for a ghoulish dinner.
But perhaps my favorite display to date was last year's, when we broadcast-painted some mannequin legs and arms black and stuck them in the floral displays on my dining tableland and on my porch. Black iron urns made the perfect vases for this bloodcurdling fragrance.
For less outlandish displays that are still lots of fun, put a black skull encrusted with glitter in the bit bowl or on a cake plate. Or let a skeleton hand contain the salt and pepper shakers.
