"Households preparing for the spooky season are being given some key dos and don'ts for decorating the garden. The outdoor living experts at LightingLegends.com are reminding homeowners of the best practices to ensure Halloween is safe and enjoyable for everyone. Spooky season is officially here and last year a study found one in four Brits now claim that Halloween is their favourite holiday."
"To create a spooky atmosphere, place lighting carefully to cast eerie shadows across the lawn, making sure all lights are both waterproof and securely fitted to prevent them being blown away by the wind. Making DIY decorations can be a fun part of the process, but it's worth considering their placement to keep the garden from looking overcrowded or messy. For shop bought electric decorations, always ensure they are turned off at night to avoid wasting energy."
"While decorating is a personal choice, there are a few simple tips that can help you make the most of your Halloween display this year. Small touches like adding personalised details with handmade decorations or curating a specific theme, can really make an impact. But there are also some more important considerations too, like securing decorations properly to prevent them from falling in the wind and causing harm. Also keep walkways clear, and consider where wires fall from decorations to prevent trip hazards."
Garden Halloween displays should prioritize safety and atmosphere by placing waterproof, securely fitted lighting to cast eerie shadows without risk of being blown away. Secure decorations against wind, keep walkways clear, and route wires to avoid trip hazards. Homemade decorations such as pumpkin lanterns, sheet ghosts, wreaths, and cotton-ball cobwebs provide cost-effective personalised touches and help curate a theme. Avoid overcrowding the garden and turn off shop-bought electric decorations overnight to conserve energy. Thoughtful placement prevents messiness and hazards while careful securing prevents falling decorations that could cause harm. Simple DIY projects keep costs low and increase creative engagement.
