With the onset of the fall season comes changing leaf colors and chillier nights. But, there is no need to mourn the loss of summer just yet since it’s also the season where kids go trick-or-treating, pumpkin cakes made, and stories of ghosts and goblins are shared. It’s a delightful time of year. Apartment living doesn’t have to limit you from all the fun, and at Bella Vista Apartments at Hilltop, it’s no different.
Why DIY?
DIY is fun and easy.
If you want to go all-out, spice up your Halloween spirit (pun intended) by adding pops of color to your interior decor. A simple DIY Halloween hack you can do while living in an apartment is print out online tombstone templates and stencil them onto cotton fabric to create tombstone chairs or pillow covers. Or make ghosts out of rope (instructions can be found here). For more gory inspiration for Fall 2021, check out 85 Easy DIY Halloween Decorations 2021.
Get Inspired By These Decor Ideas
If none of the above ideas are spooky enough, try baking homemade, Halloween-inspired treats to surprise your family with or delight the trick-or-treating kids. Using some ready-made Halloween-themed molds found on sites like Amazon or eBay, you can easily make cookies for this special occasion in less time than you think. Pinterest also has some great ideas to see what’s trending in 2021.
A black-and-white color palette for both Halloween and Thanksgiving is a good option for a more conservative take. Use skeletons or skulls, white pumpkin cushions rather than the real things, and black creepy-crawlies to decorate your space. That way, once the night of October 31st emerges into the 1st day of November, you can throw all the skeletons and spiders into your closet and be left with a blank black-and-white color palette in your home. It’s the easiest and cheapest way to transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving, according to one source.
Conclusion
Transitioning a small living space from Halloween into Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. All you have to do is use a black-and-white color palette wherever you can inside your home, and be creative with your goodies. Filling your space with pumpkin spice aromas or apples can work magic to invite the Halloween spirit into your home without making drastic changes. Have fun, and have a spot-o-o-oky Halloween this year!
