7 Halloween Decorations That Are Perfect Any Time Of Year, From Chalkboard Skulls To Cute Black Cats
It might still be a few weeks away, but it's never too early to decorate for Halloween. And you better get started now, because it's only a matter of time before Starbucks pulls out those red cups two months too early and all we can talk about is Christmas. Before you say anything, let me guess — you are a busy person who doesn't want to spend the time decorating for a holiday, only to have to take everything down immediately after. Yup, I feel you. And you don’t want to spend the money on hyper specific décor? I get it. And sometimes Halloween décor is actually a little creepy, and you're a huge scaredy cat who doesn't want that hanging around your home? OK fine. That one might just be me.
Good news, Halloween commitment-phobes — I've managed to solve all your decorating problems. Here's the solution: Find decor that isn't just perfect for Halloween, but is perfect all year round. How simple is that?! (This is the part where I introduce a line of home goods that I designed myself, but let's be real, I'm not that savvy.)
I embarked on a long journey through the Internet gathering every possible Halloween-y/not that Halloween-y item I could find, and I am pleased to present the fruit of my labor here. Happy decorating!
