Tired of all these spooky yet tasteless Halloween decorations? Don’t feel like going bold colors and crazy items this year? Don’t worry, I have a bunch of beautiful ideas for you, and they are all about perfect taste and stylish modern decor. Let’s take a look what you may use to create a chic Halloween-inspired decor in your home.
Pumpkins
Pumpkins are number one decorations for fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving and you should make some for your modern celebration or party. As this is modern Halloween, prefer black, grey and white, splatter, graphics, geometric patterns and stencils. Or go for natural pastel shades and no other decor at all – there are tons of tutorials on the web that will allow you to make such pumpkins. Constellation and galaxy decor is very popular now, so you may go for gorgeous drilled or painted constellation pumpkins. Create various displays with these pumpkins putting them in bowls, trays, on mantels, window sills or in other places.

Mantels And Displays
To style your mantel in a modern way you may go two ways: monochromatic black and white or all-natural decor with a muted color scheme. Decorate your mantel with pumpkins about which I’ve told you above, with paper bats, black and white balloons, black and white candles, dried blooms and herbs. Put some pumpkins inside the fireplace if it’s not working or fill it with various painted balloons, make a simple wreath of dried blooms and greenery for a chic modern look. Use skeletons, eucalyptus, geometric candle holders and everything else that is associated with modern decor.
