18 Halloween Decorations for the Chicest Home
Ditch the cheap plastic pumpkins in favor of black candelabras, smoked glass goblets, and pumpkin tureens.
Decorating for Halloween is one of the big parts of the holiday's fun, but it doesn't need to be all plastic pumpkins (or really, any plastic at all). Go for decorations that work all season, like black crystal coupes and pumpkin-hued linens, then add just a touch of kitsch, like a fuzzy oversize spider or carved Día de los Muertos candles. Add in piles of candy, dim the lights, and you are ready for a marvelously spooky monster mash.
