Black White and Orange Halloween Decorating in our Living room

Happy October!

October is one of these amusing month! You may even agree that it is also the prettiest month of all. I simply love the magic that October brings with all of the pretty leaves in vivid lovely hues. And of path, possibly the Happiest element about October is Halloween!

I had Way too much fun decorating our living room for Halloween and I can't wait to show it to you today! I'm also excited to be joining the lovely Kristen at Ella Claire along with a large group of super creative bloggers who are all sharing their Halloween decorating as well. This should be a really fun tour for you to take today full of lots of wonderful ideas. You can find all of the links at the end of this post.

I caught to a conventional Halloween color palette this year and included lots of black, white, and Orange all through our dwelling room.

When it comes to decorating for Halloween, I typically like to focus on decorating just one area in our home, rather than have decorations scattered throughout. This allows me to really have fun creating a festive space while keeping the rest of our home clean and calm. Let's face it, Halloween decor can be a little intense sometimes, a little bit goes a long way :)

I'm tickled with how our fireplace all came together this year. I pretty much added ALL of our Halloween decorations to it. I just kept layering more and more stuff to it and in the end I think it looks rather cheerful.

These are all decorations I've collected over the years. The only thing that's new is the black plastic ball garland that I found at a yardsale this summer. The black crow that hangs on a stand balanced by a glass orb is something we've had for years but it use to be a rust color. I just gave it a coat of black spray paint and brought it inside. I can't believe I hadn't thought to paint it before. It's so perfect for Halloween.

I also whipped together this wreath. I spray painted an old grapevine wreath black and then I simply added an orange leaf garland to it along with a Boo sign and a large spider.

My Halloween decorations involve a lot of spiders, snakes, bats and rats.

What sorts of decorations are you interested in?

If you're not big on Halloween decorations then a couple of easy ways to add a fun touch to your home is to 1. slant your pictures that are already hanging on your walls. This is so simple to do and instantly adds a haunted-house feel. I've even tucked a few plastic bugs into the corners of my frames. You could also add some spider webs too if you want.

And 2. Adding something Orange is another no-fail manner to feature a hint of Halloween to a space. This orange pillow paired subsequent to a black and white striped pillow virtually Screams Halloween.
