For a night-sky mood: Night Sky Blue / Multicoloured .
For something darker: Venus Black .

Halloween decorating does not have to mean plastic cobwebs on every surface. The most atmospheric rooms are often simpler: a dark corner, a jewel-bright glow in the window and just enough shadow to let the imagination do the rest.

Paper star lanterns offer a more considered way to dress the house. In orange, black, violet and midnight blue, they feel suitably dramatic for Halloween,but they can be folded away and brought back for autumn suppers, parties and future celebrations.

Build a Halloween palette that still feels like home

Begin with two strong colours and one neutral. Orange and black is the obvious pairing; violet and midnight blue feel more celestial; orange with warm cream gives a softer harvest look.

Venus Orange and North Star Orange bring a pumpkin-like warmth. Venus Black adds contrast, while the ready-made Halloween Bundle takes the guesswork out of mixing colours.

Use light to create the spooky part

Hang one star low in a window, group several at different heights in a hallway, or place a glowing star beyond a doorway so guests see it as they arrive. Keep the main lights low and use warm points of light around the room. Never put candles or naked flames inside or close to paper decorations.

A Halloween display you can restyle

After 31 October, remove the bats and pumpkins but keep the lanterns. Orange works beautifully with rust, burgundy and green for the rest of autumn. Black and celestial designs can live in a bedroom or reading nook all year.
