Sophisticated + Modern Halloween Ideas

October 22, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Sophisticated Halloween InspirationOh Halloween, ghosts, creepy creatures, haunted houses and endless sweets. While kids dress up to trick-or-treat, us adults can join in the fun too. There are grand costume parties to attend or you can host a small party at home with friends, my favorite way to celebrate. I’m not usually one for the guts and gore of Halloween, but more of the idea of dressing up and playing up the spooky mystery that the haunting night processes, without the classic bright orange and black decor either. Instead Halloween can be a sophisticated, chic and modern holiday. There are so many beautiful Halloween stylings that I just had to share my favorites with you. So if you don’t have any plans yet, call up a few friends and get inspired by these effortless ideas to create your own sophisticated Halloween get-together next Friday…

Moody hues, like black and gold feel entirely appropriate for the spookiest day. A gold candelabra feels eery for Halloween, especially when used with black candles. {image via Elle Decor} Sophisticated Halloween Inspiration{image via Coco + Kelley}

Try to include as many black details as you can, like drinking glasses or dark flowers. I’m thinking black and gold is the new Halloween orange and black.

Instead of commercial Halloween decor, add a more gothic feel with creatures of the night, like black crows or owls. Just don’t go overboard with them, or else you’re house might look like a haunted forest.  Sophisticated Halloween Inspiration{images via Elle Decor}

I do like spiderwebs when done subtly, they give a haunting factor when paired with sophisticated decor. Place it in certain areas throughout your party area, like the bar cart and around liquor vintage bottles for a haunted house feel. 50e8a918bd0aa492a911d0546efd3cc8 {image via The Happy Heathen} Stylish-Halloween-Party-Inspiration{fireplace image via Pop Sugar}

Even though it’s no longer spring, is no reason why you can draw inspiration from a dark and eery butterfly garden, and turn it into a mysterious and glam masquerade dinner party. Certain greenery can create that spooky forest feeling, I especially like fern for this effect. Sophisticated Halloween Ideas{image via Coco + Kelley}

My favorite sophisticated Halloween touch is using decorative skulls. Plus, most of us already have decor skull pieces in our home. Sophisticated Halloween Inspiration{image via Pop Sugar}

Food is a great way to play up the creepy factor, but you don’t have to go over the top grotesque with fake fingers or green gooey puddings. Instead serve devilish food and drinks that ooze the Halloween spirit, like black pasta, white cupcakes adorned with spun sugar webs and spiders, or bright blood red candy apples.

Dry ice is perfect for making drinks look extra spooky, but it must be used carefully since it cannot be consumed. It does look cool, just make sure it’s completed melted before anyone drinks it. Instead of using them in drinks, you can always be safe and fill cauldrons or vases with the dry ice to create smoking pillars on a buffet spread.

Replace the black cauldron and use a clear skull-shaped punch bowl to set the mood. And in lieu of plastic serving ware, use pieces that evoke the sinister mood of Halloween, either by color or material. Sophisticated Halloween Inspiration{image via Design Love Fest}

Hope this inspires your next haunted Halloween bash!

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
