With the arrival of autumn, two big times of the year are approaching: Halloween and Christmas. For those who love to decorate during these long-awaited holidays, the possibility of keeping both decorations at the end of the year without looking bad can be a real discovery. At first, the idea of keeping Halloween decorations together with Christmas decorations may seem like a crazy idea.
However, in this article, we will show you that it is not such a bad idea as you may think. Moreover, it is possible to maintain the essence of both styles, united, without breaking the harmony of beautiful decoration for our home. So, if we do not have the time to remove the Halloween decoration and start from scratch again when Christmas comes, we are facing the perfect solution.
It is possible to combine Halloween and Christmas decorations
If we are lovers of decoration but do not have the necessary time or do not want to spend too much money on decorating for these two dates so marked, here we bring you some tips to combine the decoration for both. Far from looking horrible as it may seem at first, throughout this article, we will see that both styles can be maintained without seeming a mess.
The first thing to do is to leave Halloween colors aside. Although until now, it has always been very tempting to mix orange and purple for October 31, if what we want is to combine the decoration with Christmas, this is over. We’ll move on to clear lights, which won’t clash with the pumpkins decorated with scary faces, fake spider webs, and knick-knacks. This way, when Halloween is over, we will only have to remove the most superficial elements, keeping the lighting warm for Christmas.
Another decorative elements
Another element we can add to our home is a Christmas tree. When putting it up well in advance, it is best to remove all the Christmas decorations and add an autumn decoration. We can even include spider webs and other Halloween elements. This way, we will have the tree ready for Christmas. When the time comes, we will only need to place the garlands and accessories.
Skeletons are also a fundamental part of the most terrifying day of the year. If we want to put a funny and scary touch to our Christmas decorations, we must add two Christmas hats to them. We can also reuse autumn wreaths for Christmas simply by adding small Christmas details.
Pine cones can also be used as great fall and Christmas decorations. And, if we’re Nightmare Before Christmas fans, decorating in this style also works great even into the new year.
