How New Yorkers Decorate Their Homes For Halloween
Ghouls and ghosts abound in the concrete jungle.
Something that makes the holidays feel so delightfully atmospheric is the immersive decor that comes along with it. Halloween kicks the season off with its creepy, crawly home displays that can range from elegant pumpkin vignettes to all-out spooky schemes consisting of skeletons, spiders, and other creatures that go bump in the night. No matter where you live, if you celebrate Halloween you’re likely enthusiastic to incorporate the aesthetic into your home for the weeks leading up to the holiday.
For New Yorkers, decorating your home for Halloween is different from other parts of the country. The city is dense and real estate is limited, which means residents have to be creative with how they decorate. Homes are also situated side-by-side or on top of each other, which means your decorations will be seen by anyone and everyone passing by on the street, tourists and locals alike (no pressure!).
Ahead, get into the spirit of the season with five ways New Yorkers eerily adorn their homes for Halloween.
