With Halloween on the horizon, you may be thinking about how to deck out your living area for the spooky season. The fireplace—especially one with a wall-mount electric fire—can serve as an excellent starting point for your Halloween decorations. Whether you prefer going all-out or keeping it simple, here are seven imaginative ways to bring a Halloween vibe to your fireplace.
Add eerie charm with vintage portraits
Begin by placing an antiquated painting or photograph above your electric fire to set the stage. Add some finishing touches, like artificial cobwebs and plastic spiders, to enhance the haunted look.
Illuminate with flameless candles
Enhance the eerie atmosphere with LED flameless candles set in Halloween-themed or black candle holders. These candles offer a safer alternative for homes with children and pets. Don't forget to turn them off to preserve battery life when they're not in use.
Set the mood with your electric fire
One of the perks of a wall-mount electric fire is the ability to change the colour of the flames. Choose Halloween hues such as red, orange, or purple to set a spooky ambience for your living room.
Get crafty with paper mache
If you're feeling creative, why not craft some Halloween decorations like skulls, bones, or pumpkins out of paper mache? Customise the sizes and colours to match your wall mount electric fire and the surrounding decor. If you're looking for a seasonal touch that can last all autumn, consider paper mache antlers paired with a vase filled with dried twigs.
Use colourful Halloween pumpkins
Breathe new life into plastic pumpkins by painting them in colours that coordinate with your room's decor. Arrange these colourful pumpkins on or near your wall-mount electric fire for a fun seasonal touch.
Drape creepy masks on the mantle
Select a range of spooky or creepy masks from classic films like ‘Scream' or ‘Friday the 13th' or go for more timeless options like the Phantom of the Opera mask. Pair them with hanging decorations like paper bats or plastic spiders for an added creep factor.
Keep it minimalist
If you prefer a less-is-more approach, opt for minimalist decor in earthy and warm tones such as maroon, brown, and orange, or stick to a monochrome black-and-white theme. Complete the look with minimalist Halloween items like fake bats, witches, or black candle holders.
