3 Spooktacular Tips for the Perfect Haunted House:
1. Use aged items to give your home a Halloween feel. Pick up things like tarnished silverware, antique looking bird cages and ornate mirrors or picture frames from second hand shops and garage sales. With the right placement or a coat of matte black paint, some cob web decorations and maybe a raven or two, your house will feel spookier in no time.
2. Create eerie centerpieces for your Halloween feast by pairing solid-colour Halloween-inspired objects together. Try placing a jet black crow atop a stark white top hat, or filling an opaque black vase with a bouquet of vibrant orange flowers.
3. Don't limit your holiday decorating to the front porch; add a little Halloween flair to every window. Use black paper to create eerie silhouettes that can be displayed in your windows. Profiles, gloomy chandeliers and fallen leaves are a great place to start. But don't forget to leave the light on. These cut outs will really come to life at night!
