Halloween is just around the corner: Match your decorations with the color orange

by Redaction NOW Village


Halloween is fast approaching, and with it the desire to transform our interiors into festive, welcoming spaces.

An emblematic symbol of the season, the color orange brings warmth, energy and conviviality to your decor. More than just a seasonal color, orange can be subtly integrated into your interior, far beyond the classic pumpkin. Find out how to use it intelligently for a stylish and trendy Halloween decoration.

1. Furniture and Textiles: Inject Color without Overloading

Orange, though intense, can be incorporated into your Halloween decorations in small touches for a subtle, elegant look. It goes particularly well with neutral colors such as beige, gray or black, creating a harmonious visual balance.

2. Pumpkins: the Halloween staple revisited

When we think of Halloween, the first image that comes to mind is that of the pumpkin. But this year, why not revisit this icon in a more modern and decorative way? Pumpkins no longer have to be limited to being simply hollowed out and lit up.

Halloween is also an opportunity to play with lighting to create a subdued, even mysterious atmosphere. As a warm color, orange lends itself perfectly to soft lighting, ideal for October evenings.

LED or traditional candles

Candles, whether real flame or LED, are a must-have for a successful Halloween decor. Choose orange or amber candles for a soft, warm glow. Arrange them in black metal lanterns or glass candle holders to enhance the dramatic effect of the lighting.
