Halloween Decoration Ideas: Curtains, Windows, and
Doors
Add some Halloween spirit to your home with some
simple additions to your curtains or windows, or by adding curtains to
doorways.
Turn a window tie back into a fun way to display some Halloween
decorations. Attach small skulls, bats, witches hats, plastic
pumpkins, spiders or any other decoration you can think of to each end
of the tie back. When you tie the curtains make sure your decorations
are in the front.
Have a room where the curtains aren't exactly Halloween colors.
Change it up quickly by draping black silky fabric over your other
curtains.
Create a witches doorway by using decorative brooms. Attach one on
each side then two facing opposite directions above the doorway.
Instead of buying fabric, get a couple of spools of wide ribbon in
orange and black. Tie one end of a ribbon to the curtain rod, cut it
so that is goes all the way down to the windowsill and continue doing
this alternating colors. You will get a fun look for cheap. You could
also substitute the ribbon for crepe paper, but it is harder to tie.
This can also be done over doorways for a fun look.
Want to create the feeling that you're in an old haunted house?
Create a view. Find a large poster of an eerie view that is large
enough to fit into a window. If you have cross sections in the window
use a pencil to trace these onto the poster. Then cut the poster and
attach it to the window.
Create a curtain of spider webs on any window or doorway. Be sure to
include small plastic spiders.
Get thick fabric in deep reds, drape the fabric above doorways and
let it hang down. Tie the fabric back with gold colored cords. Do the
same on all windows, and you will create an old Victorian house feel.
Put a scary "Beware" sign on the front door. Increase the feel by
covering the door in butcher's paper then decorating it to look old,
broken or covered in overgrown weeds.
