Introduce the Halloween spirit with dark colors

Introducing dark colors is the first step toward creating a spooky living room. Black is an obvious choice, but it’s a color that often feels too ominous for some people. If you want to add a little more warmth to your black-themed decor, consider using dark brown or dark blue-grey as accent colors.


Experiment with Purple

Purple is a fun choice that can add a magical quality to your Halloween decor, especially when paired with orange and grey.

Use candles to set the mood

Decorate with spider webs and crawly things

The great thing about spider webs is that they are very easy to make. You can hang them anywhere – from the ceiling to the back of your couch – to introduce some spooky decor.

If you want to hang them from the top, you can use a fishing wire to do so. You can also introduce crawly things like fake snakes and spiders to your living room decor. Fake snakes are a great way to decorate tables, while fake spiders are a good fit for your fireplace, mainly if you use them to decorate it with cobwebs.
