Ways to get your home Halloween ready

2021 has been the year of getting creative by putting skills we didn’t know we had to the test. I mean, we have had a lot of time on our hands! Post pandemic, we think people are still investing time and money into celebrations that are more thoughtful and meaningful, rather than a quick panic and last-minute decisions. With this in mind, we will take a look into over favourite trends that are taking 2021 by storm. Starting with Halloween!

Ghost pumpkins

Orange is so yesterday. Once a novelty, the white pumpkin is becoming an increasingly common choice when it comes to decorating the home. The white pumpkin provides an amazing contrast next to the usual autumnal colours, making them an elegant table centrepiece, either carved or monogrammed. 

DIY sock pumpkins

If you’re looking to get the kids involved with some crafting, sock pumpkins are the best place to start (plus it gets rid of the odd socks that are laying around the house)! Pinterest have millions of designs to follow to make the perfect sock pumpkin! It’s a little more grown up and will look perfect alongside your ghost pumpkin in the middle of the dining table. 

Candles

Pick up a new candle from Yankee Candle’s new Halloween range. With scents such as Pumpkin Patch, Pecan Pie and Spiced Orange, your whole home is going to be filled with the deliciousness that is Autumn. Imagine this, your spiced orange candle is lit, you’re cuddled up in a blanket with a hot chocolate watching your favourite film. Now doesn’t that sound bliss?

Halloween doormats

One of the easiest ways to add a little Halloween spirit to your home is by adding a doormat to your front and even back patio door. Your doormat is basically the first impression your guests get when they arrive at your home, so it makes TOTAL sense to switch it up and keep it seasonal! From spooky quotes, crazy cats or bright orange pumpkins, whatever you choose, it’s sure to bring a smile to your visitors faces.

Whether you’re going to brave the shops, get your craft on, or shop from the comfort of your home, it’s safe to say that the options are endless. 2021 has been far from the ‘normal’ so why not mix it up a bit and try something different, you’ve got nothing to loose!
