Elegant Halloween Decorations Ideas – Have you ever noticed that holiday decorations sometimes feel lost and out of scale when you place them sporadically around the home? I always felt this way, so I started placing my Halloween decorations in a setting by grouping together like items for a dramatic effect, rather than scattering the decorations around the home. Every year in early autumn I create a setting with pumpkins, gourds, birds and flowers on the buffet in my dining room. I absolutely adore the colors and textures of the fall season, and creating a display is a great way to get maximum impact with holiday decorating.
Once October arrives, I begin to add Halloween decorations, such as black birds, to the scene so I can get both seasonal and holiday impact. The black birds are a fantastic addition, because the deep jet black color is a stunning contrast to the bright autumn hues. Then after the Halloween decorations come down, the setting turns into a harvest scene for Thanksgiving. It is multifunctional and I enjoy it for many months.
