Halloween Decorations That Aren’t Orange and Black
Now that October is in full swing, it seems everyone we know is either embracing their spooky side or adorning their homes (and social media profiles) with bright orange pumpkins. And we’re all for it — after all, Halloween (and the entire month leading up to it) is the perfect excuse to do just that. But you don't have to love haunting decorations or the colors orange and black to love and celebrate Halloween. In fact, it's possible to fill your entire dorm room or apartment with festive decor that doesn't check any of those boxes. These 20 decorations make skulls seem friendly, pumpkins seem glam, and bats seem beautiful.
