Decorating for Halloween is probably the only season that all the normal โdecorating rulesโ are thrown out the window. Itโs the only season you can decorate in bright purple, neon greens, and random other colors. Letโs just say my kids run wild with this season.
I wonโt go into how to decorate a mantel for Halloween since Iโve already rounded a post up on how to do that. There are a few simple rules that you can follow for a foolproof lovely mantel.
Iโve recently found a bunch of fun goodies from the Target Dollar Spot. I believe itโs called the Bullseye playground now. Iโm no stranger to decorating around the house with goodies Iโve bought from there.
Iโm a firm believer that decorating for any season doesnโt need to be expensive. As a matter of fact, the few pieces of decor I purchased from Target cost under $25. Paired with old Halloween decor, I had plenty to use to decorate my Halloween mantel.
Target even had that green garland! Other than the two pumpkins, everything else was purchased at There.
You can learn how I built this raised electric fireplace mantel on my blog!
Add simple touches of fall around your home to bring warmth and make things cozier.
Of course, I couldnโt get away with a Halloween post without sharing some black and white pictures.
The Dollar Tree has fantastic seasonal decor and each item is ONLY $1. Every Halloween season we take a trip to the dollar store and tell each kid (Iโve got two) they can pick out 10 Halloween decorations each! You would think we gave them each a thousand dollars they are so happy. At the end of our trip, we only spent $20!
Tip: If you donโt want to add literal Halloween decorations, you can bring in touches of fall with things like the amber vases I have on the mantel and the yellow faux flowers.
I hope Iโve given you some ideas on how to decorate your mantel for the Halloween season.
