Halloween Room Ideas
- Bring the scary print fabrics of Halloween fabric into your room. Pick fabric designs of pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns to cover a dining or coffee table. Tied back with a string of small skulls, hang a black and white ghost print from your windows. Drape a spider print in the corner of the room from the ceiling to the floor and staple trapped bugs into the spider web. You can cover the seats of dining chairs and throw pillows with a witch or vampire print.
- Set up a pumpkin tree in front of the window and the pumpkin fabric. Spray paint tree branches black, and hang paper cutouts of orange pumpkins, black bats and scary witches on the tree. Dress up a doll into a witches' costume, and put her on a broom. Suit up another doll so he looks like Count Dracula, and place him on a shelf with a different doll. You can place white sheets over topiary forms to create ghosts.
- Make a Halloween pumpkin cat for a table display. Paint two pumpkins, one larger and rounder than the other, black. Carve out the eyes for the pumpkin, but paint on the mouth and glue pipe cleaner whiskers above it. Attach the two pumpkins together, one on top of the other, and wrap a black boa around the "neck' of the cat, down the back and wrap across the bottom to simulate a tail. Add on cat ears.
- Chop up dry ice, and scatter it into containers around the room's corner. Add water to containers and create an eerie fog inside the room. Record the opening and closing of creaking doors, your own screams, haunting melodies and scary Halloween songs, and plug them through your sound system. Play them all night, or set it to remote audio control or when someone enters the room. Make blood candles as you drip melted red wax down white taper candles and insert them into black candelabras around the room with a couple of black votives for mood lighting.
