When should you decorate your house for Halloween?
There's no exact date; it's more of a personal preference and whenever you can find time. As a rule, we would say to definitely leave it until after Labor Day, but aim to get it done before the first weekend of October.
Search for Halloween decorations traditionally spikes at the end of August, so this is when people start buying. Then, there's always a big jump in the first week of October as this is when most people start putting theirs up, or thinking about it anyway.
How can I decorate this Halloween for cheap?
You can absolutely decorate for Halloween on a budget. Whether you only want to buy one or two things from this list or you want to DIY everything, we've got a bunch of easy Halloween crafts that you can do to decorate your apartment this year.
Otherwise, there's a lot you can do with a few pumpkins. You can paint one, carve one, use one as a succulent pot, and much more.
Once you've figured out where you want to shop Halloween decorations from, you can then move onto designing each room. For example, styling a Halloween bedroom will make your sleep space feel super spooky.
