I will be the first to admit, I am possibly treading on sensitive territory here. \u00a0There are many friends who really get into Halloween decorations and that is totally fine. \u00a0For our family, we choose to just enjoy the costumes, trick-or-treating, and fall festival events with friends. \u00a0<\/p>\n
That being said, we simply cannot resist some cute jack-o-lanterns for neutral Halloween decorations thrown into the mix, too!<\/strong><\/p>\n No matter whether you go all out for the holiday or stick to fall decor, I hope you know my heart for this blog.<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Really, I just want this to be a space that inspires you and even gives you a creative idea or two that you can use to help you love your home even more. \u00a0At the same time, create welcoming spaces for your family and friends.<\/p>\n When October rolls around, I must admit, a smiling jack-o-lantern just makes me smile back!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”mix Halloween and fall” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Yes, yes, yes! \u00a0In fact, I think that is the best way to create simple, easy, budget-friendly decor. \u00a0I love using pieces that I can enjoy from mid-August all the way through Thanksgiving.<\/strong> \u00a0One way to simplify the whole process is to focus on neutral Halloween and fall decor pieces that blend together.<\/p>\n Even if you add more Halloween-specific items to your decor, keeping them simple and in small doses will allow you to just layer them into your regular fall decor. \u00a0Also, using more neutral-colored Halloween decor allows them to blend into the fall decor you’re already using<\/strong> around your home too.<\/p>\n Tip: Before Halloween decor begins and then when Halloween is over, simply turn your jack-o-lantern around so the face is hidden! \u00a0Get double duty wherever you can from those cute pumpkins!<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

days, such as Valentine’s Day or St. Patrick’s Day. \u00a0If you want to decorate on a budget, there are a few key things I stick to:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

scientific data for this. \u00a0However, I don’t think anyone could disagree that a fun jack-o-lantern isn’t a staple Halloween decoration, even for those of us who stick to only some simple, family-friendly touches. \u00a0Do you agree?!<\/p>\n I rounded up some adorable jack-o-lantern neutral Halloween decorations that you can easily layer with your everyday fall decor.<\/strong> \u00a0Also, don’t forget to check out thrift stores and yard sales for seasonal accents too!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”jack o lanterns list” _builder_version=”4.18.0″

global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As I have said before, you can go all out with your decor and it will be amazing! \u00a0If you’re looking for a more low-key style, flowers are a great option. \u00a0Over on THIS post,<\/strong><\/span><\/a> I shared a DIY pumpkin flower arrangement along with all the steps to make both your concrete pumpkin and the fresh flower arrangement. \u00a0It’s a subtle, yet fun, way to decorate for Halloween.<\/strong><\/p>\n One option is to add traditional fall colors and flowers to your arrangement. \u00a0A mixture of oranges, rust tones, and yellows looks beautiful!<\/strong><\/p>\n However, if you want to add a little more of a Halloween-specific look, pick up some faux stems or decor stakes, like these<\/strong><\/span>,<\/a> and add to your flower arrangement. \u00a0At the same time, this would be an idea that you could easily add for a special party or event and then remove afterward and continue enjoying your fall floral arrangement.<\/p>\n For a fun DIY, you could even cut bare branches and spray paint them black before adding to your flower arrangement!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Seasonal decor used to be all very thematic and quite specific. \u00a0However, I love the decor trends in more recent years that have led to using “touches of the season” or “hints of the holiday”<\/strong> rather than setting jack o lanterns on every table and hanging a Halloween banner over the door and mantel.<\/p>\n You can still add those things, of course. \u00a0At the same time, consider keeping less holiday-specific decor in storage<\/strong> and investing in colors and patterns that can be used for an entire season. \u00a0Better yet, find pieces that can be used for multiple seasons!<\/p>\n Actually, I don’t have nearly as much decor as many people think. \u00a0Instead, I rotate my pieces in and out, use them in different rooms, and restyle them for seasons and holidays.<\/strong> \u00a0This requires less storage and I make wise investments into the decor I choose.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”patterns
