The shorter, and often gray days, where I live in Vermont can be rather depressing. However, one only needs to step outside to enjoy the incredible oranges, reds and yellows turning leaves to lift one’s spirits. If you haven’t taken the time to get into the spirit of Halloween/fall, below are some ways to decorate a mantle, office, bedroom or anyplace you spend time where it can help put you in a festive mood.
• Some form of light-candles, votives, LEDs, tiny string lights
• Bring the outdoor in with rocks, leaves, twigs, fall flowers, branches with berries, leaves, apples, gourds small pumpkins, Indian corn and whatever grows naturally in your area
• Check your local thrift store for fun Halloween items that can be tucked in here and there. Great place to find baskets, old tins, glassware for putting dried flowers into.
• Use
the Fibonacci Sequence in your design. The Fibonacci Sequence is a series of
numbers with the pattern of each number being the sum of the previous two-o, 1,
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 and so forth. Designers will often say, use three objects. If you start looking at displays and count items, the best ones usually adhere
to the Fibonacci Sequence as it helps with spacing and is more pleasing to the eye. Learn more Using the golden ratio in design
• Use colors that make you happy. While we think of reds, yellow, orange, black and brown as seasonal color, look around outside and you’ll see blue sky, evergreens and a wide array of colors.
• Make fall
leaves and other objects out of paper. Try making accordion folded leaves
• Check out various DIY and Craft blogs. Just looked at Lia Griffith and she has some nice ideas for fall and Halloween
