Homewell offers you a list of inspirations to transform your interior into a real haunted castle!

The must-have pumpkin

The essential of Halloween decor! First think about hollowing out your pumpkin, then draw a face on it (a rather scary one preferably), and finish by carving it with a knife. Finally, light up the inside of your pumpkin with a candle!

Dimmed colored lights

Warm colors and dimmed lights are a key element to a successful Halloween decor. A few candles and ambient lights and there you go!

Silhouettes at the windows

You can also scare your neighborhood with shadows depicting monsters fixed to your windows! Not very reassuring, is it?

Fake spider webs

What would a Halloween decoration be without spider webs? Whether on your furniture, your walls or your ceiling, these webs will guarantee the expected haunted effect! Do not forget to add some (fake) spiders!

Suitable plants

Replace your pretty colorful, lively flowers with dark flowers (such as black roses for example) and even wilted ones, without forgetting a few leaves in autumn colors!

A ghost garland

Customize your string lights in a few steps! Cover the bulbs with a small white sheet, then draw the faces of your little ghosts with a black marker!

Blood cocktail

For vampire fans, remember to fill a glass with water and drop in a syringe of grenadine syrup. A recipe accessible to everyone!

Little mummy appetizers

Cook some little sausages. Wrap them in thin strips of puff pastry and bake the whole thing to bring to life little mummies (cuter than scary)!

There you have it, everything for a Halloween worthy of the name! It is up to you now!
