A Fun Alternative to Trick-or-Treating

But before you can deck out your space with such ghoulish delights, you’ll need a living room with dark vibes.

You’ll need an ambiance to set the mood for a satisfyingly sinister good time. You’ll need, in short, to ‘Goth’ it up.

(If you’re feeling sprightly, you can opt for some color. The dark purple accent chair in this all-black living room keeps the energy balanced – but still very, very Goth.)

Now’s the time for things below the surface to come out of hiding – they just need a little bit of helium to get going!

Make a festive splash….

…with orange-and-black party balloons; as the saying goes, the more, the scarier!

3. Let Your Snacks Attack

The best part about this Halloween night-in? After the fun’s over, the decor is cleared, and all ghosts, goblins, witches and warlocks are retreated back into hiding, the black furniture holds an elegant ground in its own right – and can be used year-round for a stunningly sophisticated living space. Shop darker looks here, and get ready for inbound compliments – from ghosts or otherwise!
