Haunted but Homey

Halloween décor doesn’t have to scream spooky — it can whisper stylishly eerie. This week, skip the plastic and lean into nature’s textures: candlelight, crisp leaves, and a touch of dark charm.

Start with what you have — a few pumpkins, a cozy throw, maybe that black cat who loves center stage. Add twine, dried herbs, and a splash of copper or gold for glow. A simple trick: line mason jars with orange tissue or pressed leaves, pop in LED candles, and scatter them along your porch or kitchen shelf. Instant haunted warmth, zero chaos.

Choose one corner — porch, entry table, or windowsill — and give it a theme: Witch’s Tea, Autumn Alchemy, or Midnight Pumpkin. The secret isn’t more décor; it’s better energy.
