Decorating Tips for a Chic & Modern Halloween

Modern Pumpkin Real Simple

Serve devilish food and drinks with sophisticated wares that ooze Halloween spirit. Give that plastic black cauldron a break, and opt for a clear skull-shaped punch bowl or

bottle that will set the mood for an eerie affair. In lieu of plastic forks and knives, look for cutlery that evokes the holiday in an inventive way by way of color or material. If you really can’t be troubled to do dishes, try the Madhouse Twig Cutlery Collection, which features a unique look but that is designed for one-time use.

Orange provides a great pop of color, but it can be a hard hue to decorate with during Halloween without looking a little tacky or juvenile. Keep things sleek, streamlined, but still spooky by choosing items in black, white, and gold. These objects will especially stand out if they traditionally have different coloring. This effect doesn’t just apply to decorations; it can be utilized with food as well. Black cherry rock candy, anyone?

If you can’t bear to let the holiday pass without putting a pumpkin on display, consider showing one off in a solid color (two max, preferably black and white) and that’s made out of ceramic, stoneware, or brass. If you insist on decorating with real pumpkins, pass on carving and paint them instead (try white). Line them up on some stairs or at your doorway, or arrange them on a table for a sophisticated centerpiece.
