Decorate your house for Halloween! Pumpkins, ghosts, and a nice color on the roofline. You can do many different things with your houses exterior. From cute fall decor to scary haunted house decor. Use lights to your advantage.
With permanent holiday lights it’s easy to decorate your house for Halloween. Change the color of your roofline from your phone to suit any theme. Start off with orange lights or use a couple of colors such as purple and green to impress the neighbors.
Choose Your Halloween Colors
Color can go a long way when trying to make your house look decorated for Halloween. Pair your color with your decor or just focus on having nice looking lights on your house.
Here are some ideas:
-Orange and purple will go with most Halloween decorations such as pumpkins, witches, and spiders.
-Purple and green can be used to display Halloween monsters, cauldrons, and other fun decor.
-Orange and warm white if you want your house to look more family friendly with pumpkins and fall decor.
-White and blue if you want your house to look a bit spookier with ghosts and skeletons.
-Red and purple is a great background for vampires and other haunted house decorations.
-Use two colors that you think look good together. Step back and look at your house from the street. Using a couple colors will make your house look more put together and allow your decorations to shine.
Create a Classic Pumpkin Display
Keep it simple. Just have your roofline glowing orange with a couple pumpkins and a fall wreath on your front door. It will make your house look decorated for the holiday.
Use warm white to have a more relaxed vibe or use orange and purple for more Halloween vibes. You can use these colors in your front door decor as well.
If you want to transition your house to fall after Halloween you can do this by simply taking your pumpkins down and changing your lights to warm white.
Turn up the Spook
Halloween Permanent lighting
Permanent holiday lights can help you achieve a new level of spookiness if you decide to decorate your house for Halloween. You can pair purple lights with your witch and giant spider decorations or blue and white if you want to decorate with ghosts and skeletons.
If your system has animation try fading your lights. It can give your house a nice effect and still allow your decorations to be seen.
Play with the brightness of your lights. Make sure they aren’t overpowering if you already have lights on your house or decorations.
Make Your Home Welcoming for Trick-or-Treaters
Your house can be friendly to kids that trick or treat. Orange and purple lights, jack o’ lanterns with smiles on them, and other cute decorations will make your house enjoyable to the children visiting your house.
Leave your porch light on and make sure kids can see where they’re going. Don’t leave wires across your walkway or anything that may hurt someone. You don’t want to scare your kids either with blinking lights that may cause discomfort.
Make your house inviting for the kids to come up to your front door.
Match Your Ligthing With Your Decorations
Just like above you want to match your lighting with your decorations. Use your roofline to show what type of decorations you have on and around your house.
If you have a witch and cauldron on your property you can use green lights. You can use purple if you have cats on your property. Orange with pumpkins and hay bales. Or even have a white or blue if you have a bunch of ghosts on your lawn.
If you only have one big decoration on your house use a simple color combination that will allow that to take center stage.
Hosting for Halloween?
If you have lights on your porch or patio you can use that as well to decorate for a party. You can use orange and warm white if your doing a pumpkin decorating night or purple to make it a little more fun.
Make sure your lights go with the colors you have at your tables or wherever your guests may sit. Leave some lights on if your serving food outside.
Watching movies outside on Halloween? Lower your lights so your movie can be seen but keep them on for steps and walking paths.
Change Your Holiday Lighting Throughout the Month
With permanent holiday lights you can change the color of your house at any time. Start out with fall colors and slowly add purple and end with your favorite Halloween color combination on the 31st.
Using the app on your phone you can easily do this. If your system allows you to save settings save your favorites for later use. Schedule your lights to turn on when you want them to.
Play around with your settings before Halloween to make sure you get it right.
Enjoy the Lights After Halloween
