Instagram Worthy Halloween Decor for the Modern Witch

Hello Everyone,

Today I want to share my tips and tricks for a very warm Halloween home decor, yes, you read that right, Halloween can be "cozy", there is such thing as a cozy witch house!

So to begin our journey let's start with the basics, in order to achieve a warm ambiance we need to keep our palette as clean and neutral as possible. In my case I picked black, white, and neutrals.Since my rental apartment has a vintage vibe (really, it's outdated but I make it work) I decided to go with a shabby chic kind of vibe. Basically a modern witch that went crazy on her pinterest board kind of thing.

For the "fireplace" aka my recently updated kitchen counter (thank you home depot for selling great wallpaper) I went with a full on wicked composition of pumpkins. I love mixing textures and patterns, so I bought a mix of fabric and black and white pumpkins, thanks to budget friendly Target (I don't know how they do it but you can always find things that you never knew you wanted but you definitely need!) Moving on with the composition, I also added a lantern to add warmth and light, and to create dimension, I found a wooden black Hocus Pocus tray to rest against the wall, it is so cute that to be honest it's the muse of this decoration.

To make it the focal point of my decoration I added a cauldron, and to keep the palette as clean as possible, I added very sassy black witch broom, and the result is a very Instagramable aesthetic.

                      

For my dinning table I kept it simple with a black and white pattern, and added black roses to give it a "I am a witch but a classy one" kind of attitude.

Moving to the other side, I kept it very simple. Just added a spider web bowl and filled it with fabric pumpkins, I added two halloweenish cushions that help put together the spooky hygge living room, and of course the very needed cozy throw blanket to cuddle up to during weekend horror films marathons.

On the entrance I have a shelve that I love! since my home is not very big, maximizing spaces is very important, which is why I keep it as minimalist as possible with the furniture. I collected interesting pieces that could work well with any type of decoration. Since I am a Holiday enthusiast, it is very important to me to have creative freedom. One of my favorite pieces is a book shelve that I have in my entrance, I change it all year round and it is always a very full of fun art and Holiday decorations.

This year, keeping the neutral vibe, I added a composition of lights and different items which will for sure catch my visitors attention.

                     

Going upstairs, remember my bathroom? well a good thing that came from the new layout is that I can switch it up every now and then to reflect the changing of the seasons. For Halloween, I added a a couple of black items and boom! a completely spooktacular mini makeover.

                  

Halloween is by far my favorite time of the year, to me it is not one day, it’s the whole month of October. I am one of those people that plan their costumes and decorations for a year! What can I say, I have a thing for unusual things (said the basic "witch" trying to kid herself) so of course I go the extra mile and plan the decorations for every inch of my house, at the end it’s all about the little details.

With this self reassurance, I conclude my spooky house tour, I hope you guys enjoy it! I know I did. After all, I’m the Pumpkin Queen!

Love,
S.
