Transform Your Mantel, Halloween Style

For households with kids or with kids at heart, a spooky Halloween look can be achieved just as easily as the traditional look. Use small containers in a black or dark wood finish along with items such as horns, crooked sticks, and Spanish moss. The darker colors will help the bright orange pumpkins stand out.

A stark color contrast gives your mantel an animated, playful feel, and the branches and moss add height and dimension.
