Orange and Black Decor: Getting your Home Ready for Halloween
There are many different things that you can do to decorate for Halloween. In fact, there are entire stores offering Halloween decorations to you. But the best way to embrace a Halloween look without getting too gaudy is to go for simple changes that emphasize the traditional Halloween colors - black and orange.
You can use decorative pillows, area rugs, candles, lamps and artwork to change the look of your home without spending a lot of money. Choose them in orange and black and it's instant and easy Halloween in your home. A few other tricks with your furniture and bedding can complete the look. This is one of the most creative holidays of the season so have fun with it!
Now this looks like Halloween! What I'm focusing on, however, is the black rug. You can add some Halloween feeling to your home in an affordable way by picking up a few black rugs and a few orange rugs and using them to replace your normal area rugs for the season. This is particularly great for bathrooms and kitchens.
If it just so happens that you already have both black and orange furniture then all you need to do is some rearranging in your home to get a Halloween feel. Move your furniture around so that the black and orange pieces are all in a shared space (like the dining room or living room). Add some other autumn touches (like the table centerpiece we see here) and you've got Halloween on your hands.
What we're looking at here isn't the obvious. Sure, there's a bright orange wall and a bold black one to match it but most of us aren't going to repaint our kitchens just for Halloween. Instead, we're looking at the orange layout on the counter here. Add in some black candles and you've got a great little kitchen display for Halloween.
Finally you could hang up some seasonal artwork to bring the feeling of Halloween into your home. This one here is an abstract piece in orange and black but you could choose a more traditional Halloween design for your own pieces if you so desired.
