Halloween is coming and if you are still not preparing for the day, maybe now is the time to get started. Although some people have a common misconception that it is only for children, in reality, it is for everyone who wants to share some moments of joy and happiness with friends and neighbors. This is one way of creating a sense of belongings and intimacy with people around you. And if you have children in your house, planning for outdoor Halloween decoration is surely a must. In this article, I am going to give you some simple yet great ideas how to decorate your house this year.
Halloween Outdoor Decor with Skeletons
This is more like a typical outdoor Halloween decoration idea. You don’t need too many things to organize the whole setup. As you can see, there are some customized gravestones decorated with skeletons. You can spread some bones in front of the graves creating an impression that the dead are coming out of the graves. There is also Frankenstein in one of the graves who is trying to come out. To give your front yard an even more real feeling, there is the fence pretty much like what they have around the graveyards.
Budget Idea for Decorating
If you are not into all the scary stuff and have a limited budget, this might be a perfect choice for your outdoor Halloween decoration. You can use some cardboard pumpkins and skeletons to decorate your front yard. There are some cardboard made Casper style ghosts there as well. The balcony of the first floor can be decorated with Pumpkin shaped lanterns. They will give a rather nice and cozy impression at night but at same time will perfectly fit with the occasion without scaring the little candy hunters.
Focus on the Bats with this Halloween Outdoor Decoration
This decoration idea is relatively unique. If you are interested to plan something different than the usual this year, go for this scary set up. One of the most unique features of this idea is that it doesn’t involve all the usual ghostly elements that come with the more conventional outdoor ideas. It mainly focuses on other elements like flying bats and crawling spiders. To make it even more real, the entrance is covered with fake spider nets. They are quite easy to make or you can buy ready-made things from the specialized stores. However, this will take some extra effort to hang the bats and put the spiders and the nets all over your house to make them look more realistic.
Outdoor Halloween Decor for Kids
If you are planning to go for a Halloween decoration idea just for kids using cartoon themes, this can be the perfect choice. This involves decorating both floors with Hulk, bats, spiders, Sponge Bob, Scary Simpson and Frankenstein. The pumpkin is also relatively larger in size and filled with ghosts and angels which make it more unique. In this theme, lighting plays a massive role to make your house look lively. As you can see, the ground floor is decorated with yellow lights while the upper floor with the red ones to bring more variation.
