Get Your Boo On!
Decorate with Drama
Use chic Halloween decor that reflects your personal style to spook up your home both inside and out. To maintain a cohesive seasonal look, stick to a color palette for your decorations, incorporating only a few shades. Pastel colors, metallic, and rich autumn hues, in addition to orange and black, make for tasteful and modern Halloween decor colors. Don’t want chic? Decorate the outdoors so that your neighbors do a double-take.
Make Your Living Space an Instagram-Worthy Backdrop
Who ever said costumes were only for kids? Take it a step further and take Instagram-able photos all night by matching your Halloween décor to your outfit. Coordination of costumes with friends, family, or even your pet will earn you extra points!
Explore your creative side and fully immerse yourself in character with funky wigs, exaggerated makeup, and thoughtfully paired accessories.
