1. Add Dimension with 3D Silhouette Halloween Mantel
Upgrade the Halloween decoration to a 3-dimensional spooky atmosphere with this trick. Instead of sealing vinyl stickers of bats and spiders on the wall, suspend them with transparent fishing wire from the ceiling.
Of course no need to drill holes in the ceiling. Instead, use special ceiling hooks that ensure that there will be no damage to the ceiling.

The “cherry” of this wreath is the black crow in the center. It makes the simple wreath so unique and spooky. Because of the classical color combination, the wreath matches easily the existing decor.
Actually, it succeeds in adding a pinch of glitter with the stems draped along the sides of the grapevine circle.
3. Make Farmhouse Porch Stand Out with a Chalkboard Sign
A bold statement for Halloween like the crow wreath could be just enough for your farmhouse porch decor. But there is also another way to make your outdoors thematic.
Use the chalkboard sign to draw an intriguing and cute welcoming statement. Being the backdrop because of its size, add smaller elements next to it. This arrangement suggests including a pumpkin and a fantastic broom made of corn husk in the Halloween spirit.
