To decorate for Halloween is vital

Decorating for Halloween is essential to create a frighteningly festive atmosphere, both indoor and outdoor. Set the table for the party in the traditional Halloween colors; orange, black, and purple, and fill the entrance with pumpkins, lanterns, and lights., Halloween is celebrated on October 31st, and the holiday actually has roots far back in time. However, it is only in the last couple of decades that it has become more and more common to celebrate Halloween in Norway. The celebration we know today is usually filled with spooky costumes, pumpkin lanterns, trick or treating, and Halloween parties for both kids and adults.,,

7 tips for a cozy table setting for Halloween

1. Tablecloth
Drape the table with a tablecloth in a warm autumn color, preferably in linen.

2. Flowers and Pumpkins
Place out flame flowers (kalanchoe) or chrysanthemums and small decorative pumpkins in yellow and orange tones irregularly along the center of the table. You can also cut branches from the flowers and put them in small vases.

3. Companion Planting
An option that brings life to the table setting is to create a companion planting in a footed bowl or a platter and mix some plants in it, such as mini flame flowers, air plants, small pumpkins, and small chrysanthemums.

4. Bring the Forest Inside
Fill in with items from the forest and garden, such as beautiful leaves, chestnuts, branches, and moss.

5. Life in the Whole Room
On a buffet or side table, it’s nice to add some height to the decorations. A fall bouquet works excellently here, preferably combined with more flame flowers and leaves.

6. Other Decorations
Spider webs, plastic spiders, and window decorations are other examples of embellishments you can use to create a (un)pleasant atmosphere. Perhaps you want to draw pumpkin faces on orange balloons?

7. Light It Up
Be generous with the candles and enjoy autumn and the dinner.
