So if you haven’t yet figured it out, I love any occasion that gives me a reason to dress up. Holidays, Theme parties, visual puns- I’ve got a costume for that. So it should come as no surprise that Halloween marks the start of my super bowl. Like every year before it, this year had to be even bigger. So to day Im partnering with Walmart and decided share a new interest of mine- festive home decor. Ah! The benefits of no longer living in a tiny shoe box.<\/p>\n

I enlisted the help of my family to create ultimate spooky wonderland and even dressed up as the Queen of my crypt, aka apartment, to celebrate. Now I’m sharing some fun tips to turn your home and yourself into spooky season legends.<\/p>\n

3 Tips for Setting the Perfect Spooky Scene<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pick a Theme, Color + Tone:<\/strong> Decorating for a holiday can be super overwhelming. If you’re like me, you want to put everything in the cart. Resist the urge, and instead think of a simple theme and color palette to work with. For this set up our theme was skeletons, our primary colors were purple, white and black and our tone was spooky. This helped us eliminate a variety of items because they just wouldn’t work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Play with Lighting:<\/strong> Lighting can make a basic table scheme come to life in a new way. For example, we placed small electric candle lights<\/a> in skulls to make them glow. We waterproofed another light to sit at the bottom of our cauldron<\/a>, making our punch have a spooky blood red glow. We used pieces like this stacked skulls sculpture<\/a> and the this candelabra<\/a> to add dimension and height to the layout.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have A Sense of Humor:<\/strong> I find the best halloween displays have a sense of humor to them. We added a touch of fun to our display by carving a pumpkin, filling him with sweets so it look liked he was throwing up candy. We also played with the skeleton<\/a>, constantly changing what sweets he had in his hand or having him wear costumes. Now we can dress the skeleton all through the halloween season and keep the fun new and fresh.<\/p>\n
