The days are getting shorter and colder as we move towards winter. But not before Halloween, a holiday for pumpkin patches, haunted houses, and apartment Halloween decor. Don’t forget. If you live in a rental unit, apartment Living can’t damage the property, including inside walls and on balcony railings. Fortunately, we have some apartment-friendly decorating ideas that won’t require forfeiting your move-in deposit.

Get in the Halloween Mood

One of the quickest ways to feel the Halloween spirit is a visit to a pumpkin patch. While you’re there, look at the various pumpkins and picture your jack-o-lantern setting. Many oddball pumpkins never get to see a front porch because they’re ugly. These are the best kind because you can make ghostly, ghoulish jack-o-lanterns.

Another mood-setting Halloween idea is old-fashioned lanterns. You can find replicas that look like they’re old. Lanterns add warmth to an indoor space. They also cast shadows that make good lighting for hand puppets.

As an old mill town, Birmingham has plenty of local stories you can use as a backdrop for your Halloween decor ideas, like the Oak Hill Cemetery and the haunted Homewood Library. Nothing gets you in a spooky mood more than a ghost story.

Birmingham is an ideal Halloween town, mainly because the region has so much history. The older buildings in the old Mill Town section give the neighborhood an old vibe.

Stress-Free Apartment Friendly Decor
