Philadelphia rentals can see plenty of trick-or-treaters, so you want your apartment to be appropriately spooky. When you’re getting set up for this fun holiday full of costumes and candy, consider these decor ideas.
Orange, black and purple lights can turn Philly apartments into haunted houses. Some string lights come with bats, pumpkins and other Halloween touches covering the LEDs. You can also look for programmable lights if you want to go a bit further with the color combinations.
Pumpkin harvest is in full swing, but you don’t have to pull out the knife and make a Jack-o-lantern. Try your hand at painting scary demons and monsters on this bright orange canvas. Other seasonal squash also works as an excellent base for your DIY Halloween decor.
Fake spider webs give you a perfect decoration for your windows, but they’re also excellent in door frames, furniture and any other surface in Philly apartments. Plastic spiders add authenticity to this classic decoration, but you can also fill your webs up with candy.
Your front door gives you a big decorating landscape, and plastic or vinyl door wraps let you make an excellent statement. You can find these covers in all patterns, colors and designs. You can use glitter and paint to add a personal touch or line the door frame with string lights.
Many people only put up wreaths for Christmas, but Halloween lets you bring out your DIY skills for a wicked version that frightens everyone. Paint the base black and use orange and purple lights wrapped around the entire wreath. Add black cat figures, monster pictures and spiders all around to complete the look.
You see a lot of human skeleton decorations, but animal skeletons can up the creepy factor! Cut out cardboard in the shape of ravens, cats, snakes and other wildlife associated with this holiday. Put them in your front windows to greet trick-or-treaters.
Halloween lets you go all out with your creative side, especially if you enjoy taking a trip on the scary side. Use these ideas to have the spookiest Philly apartment in the neighborhood.
