About this
A Halloween home tour post in which Tammy of Pink Peppermint Design walks readers through her spooky mantel and living room decor, including a DIY frayed fabric garland and a mix of inexpensive store-bought accents. It is part of a larger six-blogger Halloween home tour split across two days, with the full line-up of participating homes listed. Readers get decor inspiration plus sourcing details (where each piece came from) for every element she styled.
The plan
- Team up with five other Halloween-obsessed bloggers and organize a shared Halloween home tour showcasing each home's decor
- Monday and Tuesday — Split the tour across two days, with three homes featured on Monday (Pink Peppermint Design, House By Hoff, Lindsay Hill Interiors) and three on Tuesday (Nina Hendrick Design, Blue Gray Gal, Blooming Homestead)
- mid-September — Start thinking about Halloween decor around the middle of September and pull out the spooky skeletons and spiderwebs
- Reuse and shop your own home first, carrying over items like fall flowers, mirrors and candlesticks into the Halloween display
- Build the color base in black and white, then layer in pops of orange for a Halloween feel
Decoration ideas
- Spooky ripped cheesecloth from Party City draped over the mantel
- Frayed fabric garland made by ripping coordinating spooky-looking fabrics from the fabric store into strips about 5 inches long, sewing the strips together into long pieces of each fabric, and clustering them to hang
- Shutterfly pillows in black and white with pops of orange added on the couch
- Stretchy spiderweb from Michaels draped over an old mirror brought out of decor storage to replace the usual round wood sunburst mirror
- Vintage-looking pumpkin figurines used to bring in pops of orange
- Warm yellow fall-looking flowers carried over from the regular fall decor
- Anatomy wall hanging found at HomeGoods, paired with the skeletons and bones used throughout the house
- Bunches of cotton from Hobby Lobby finished with a glitter spider so they resemble spider eggs
- Skeleton girl figure dressed up with spider webs and spiders
- Additional cotton used to dress up the living room console
- Black and white x-rays layered over the usual framed pictures to spookify the room
- Pottery Barn candlesticks used to complete the room's look
- Spiderwebs scattered around the space for extra Halloween texture
