Porchscaping tips

First impressions count, especially on Halloween! To truly wow trick-or-treaters and set the tone for an unforgettable evening, consider going big with your porch decorations. Create a dramatic display by using multiples of themed items like paper bats, witches’ hats, and creepy crawly spiders. Amp up the effect by draping honeycomb garlands and streamers around the front door for extra impact.

Mix real and paper pumpkins

Pumpkins are a Halloween staple, and mixing different types can create a dramatic display. Combine our honeycomb pumpkins with real ones for a look that’s both vibrant and visually appealing. The honeycomb pumpkins create an eye-catching centrepiece when paired with real pumpkins.

Get prepped in advance

Want to make your Halloween preparations a little easier? Start early by carving small gourds ahead of time. Once they’re carved, pop them in the freezer to keep them fresh until you’re ready to display them. Not only does this help your creations last longer but it also gives them a delightful frosty look that adds to the Halloween atmosphere. This simple trick ensures that your carved gourds will be ready to impress without any last-minute stress. Display them with our new Halloween partyware.

Try painting or decorating instead of carving

If carving pumpkins feels like too much of a hassle or if you’re looking for a less messy alternative, try painting or decorating them instead. Painted pumpkins can be just as striking as carved ones with the added bonus of lasting longer. You can also use stickers or other embellishments to create intricate designs with minimal effort. This is a great way to involve the whole family in the decorating process and ensure that your pumpkins turn out looking fantastic even if you’re short on time. Tip: paint them in fun pastel shades to match to new ombre ghost partyware and decorations.

Decorate the windows

Windows are the perfect canvas for Halloween decorations, offering a natural space to display your spooky items. Hang skeletons, bats and other eerie figures in the windows. Not only does this create a spine-chilling view from the outside, but it looks great from the inside too. The right window decorations can turn any room into a Halloween haven with minimal effort.
