Fun Ideas for Halloween Decor
23:53
Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays in the country for both the kids and the kids at heart. This is the reason why all out effort and time, even the budget, are allotted for Halloween decors just to prepare for this day.
Fun is how Halloween should be remembered. This is a tradition passed from one generation to another, and each one should have a task of becoming more memorable than the last. To scare up and add fun to your Halloween, you can check out the following suggestions.
The first step to prepare for Halloween is to fuel your imagination. Your overall aim is to enjoy and have fun. This should not only benefit you but should also contribute to the Halloween spirit in your entire neighborhood. Refrain from thinking it as a competition but rather as a celebration. This helps the mind juice for creative ideas for different Halloween decors.
Check for old Halloween decorations. Digging up old Halloween decors from the previous years is not a bad idea. Although it may look old and dirty, it would only add up to the character of your decors. This eliminates the unnecessary purchase and enables you to purchase more items.
Improvise. Items such as card board box and plastic containers are good materials for creating Halloween crafts by making them into coffins and scary background. You can also design the plastic containers into skulls as a basket for trick or treat goodies. Through this your money is saved and it would also find a good use for your stuff instead of stocking them in the corner of your garage.
Add dimensions. Halloween decors that look more realistic are better instead of one-sided cardboard cutouts. Replace ghosts made out of card boards with ghosts “livened up” with white cloth and moving eyes that can be purchased in craft stores.
Lighting (or the absence of it). Since black is the main color for this day, you can opt for Halloween decors that stand out such as glow in the dark items in designs such as a pumpkin, witch, vampire or a ghost. You can also eerily spotlight a carved pumpkin in a corner or a white cloth shaped as a ghost hanging in the ceiling. Close the windows and cover them with a black cloth. Reduce the lights in your house and cover those left with red, yellow or orange shades. This is a good opportunity to save up electricity and create a Halloween atmosphere at the same time.
This time, clutter is good. Cobwebs that are usually scorned and angrily swiped away come handy during this time of the year. Making the theme a bit messy can give a scare to the imagination by way of disorganized graves, not to mention the scare it can give to the person responsible for cleaning up.
The Halloween triggers youthfulness in each of us. This goes without saying that Halloween decors are a priority even days before the celebration itself. They keep the Halloween spirit alive and roaming.

Home Decorating Ideas for Every Room in the House

If you are currently decorating your new home, renovating your apartment, or simply giving your home a new makeover in time for fall, you should gather all home decorating ideas you can get your hands on before taking on this task. Here are some tips on how you can decorate different rooms in your home along with some practical details you should remember:
LIVING ROOM
The living room is virtually the most important part of the house because this is where visitors usually get their initial impression from as to what it's like to live in your house. Plus, this is also where most families gather to spend quality time with each other, so you're going to want to make this room functional and cozy at the same time. If you want to play it safe, go for a style that gives a feeling of warmth and comfort: use warm colors and light fabrics, consider wall-to-wall carpeting to unify a large living room. The more modern and casual family room is centered more towards practicality than luxury. More important than lush fabrics and heavy draperies are functional furniture that coordinate with the fabrics. To add splash to your living room, paint just one wall in the room in a different color. Choosing a bold, contrasting color will attract more interest in the focal point of the room and also elicit more visual stimulation.
DINING ROOM
When thinking of home decorating ideas, put special focus on your dining room table. If you're just looking to buy a new table for your dining room, try to decide first what kind of atmosphere you would like your dining room to emulate. Dining rooms can go anywhere from formal to casual.
Those who choose formal decorating styles for their dining area usually use this room only on special occasions. Warm colors such as reds and yellows work blend especially well with formal looking furniture and decorations. Apart from that, these colors also stimulate the appetite (especially orange). Other options can muted or shaded hues such as creamy yellows, wines, and dusty roses.
If you're looking to create an informal dining room, look for home decorating ideas that will help make your dining room look like a natural extension of every other room in the house.
BEDROOM
Apart from the living area, the bedroom is another part of the house that should lend its inhabitants an exclusive sense of calm and serenity. Since this is a personal area in the house, you should make your bedroom as pace where you express yourself using your favorite colors, ornamental picks and other collections or memorabilia. Soothing colors that have a relaxing effect on the eye and on the mind are shades of blue and green. You might also want to consider jewel-toned hues such as Topaz to accentuate the idea of comfort inside your room.
Lastly, some important hints that you should always consider and are practical to know no matter what room you are decorating are the color theory and the matching of colors with furnitures and fabrics.
