Keep it minimal
Want to get into the Halloween spirit but don’t want to go overboard? Decorate your home with minimalist pieces that still feel spooky and kooky, whilst also leaving plenty of space for you to mingle with your party guests. Create a centrepiece for your dining table using pillar candles from Dusk, pumpkins from Woolworths or Coles, and plants from Big W. You can also drape fake cobwebs from Big W in the corners of your home with fake spiders or other creepy crawlies, to keep things both simple and fun.
Use food
Get creative this Halloween by decorating your home with food, rather than just simple decorations. Stock up on pumpkins from Coles or Woolworths to create your own jack-o-lanterns or add them to your outdoor Halloween display. Gather your favourite lollies and chocolates and place them in a basket from Kmart so your local trick-or-treaters, can dive in and be surprised by the delicious treats they scoop up. Don’t forget to create a welcoming sign with art supplies from The Reject Shop so they'll know where to find their lollies!
Go witchy
If you wanted to go the extra mile with your decorations this Halloween, why not try and turn your home into a witches’ haven? Take inspiration from the Sanderson sisters from the classic Halloween movie Hocus Pocus, and decorate your home with cauldrons, vintage-inspired candlesticks and tapered candles, leather-bound notebooks, and amber jars to hold all your potions. You could also get a tarot deck from Big W to use during your Halloween party!
Create your own DIY Halloween decorations
If you’re looking to save a few pennies, you could get crafty and create your own Halloween decorations to wow your guests with. Instead of simply cutting out paper bats, why not take out a black marker and draw ghost faces on drinking glasses? Grab some paint and paint your pumpkins different colours, or use candles to drip wax down some glass water bottles to create some spooky candle holders.
No matter how many people you’re entertaining this Halloween, there's no double these decoration ideas will surprise them as soon as they walk through the door. Whether you’re hosting a small movie night or a large costume party, get creative with your Halloween décor at your local Stockland centre to help you get into the spooky spirit!
