Back in stock: Favorite pottery Barn item, not to be missed this Halloween; let's see who gets to the checkout first
=================================================================================
This Halloween season, the popularity of the cream-coloured jack o'lantern has soared, and it's not just Pottery Barn's offering that's catching the eye. The traditional terracotta orange and washed black varieties are still in demand, but the cream shade has added a modern twist to the classic decoration.
Pottery Barn has joined the fray with their own collection, featuring a terracotta jack o'lantern in two shapes: a classic pumpkin and a slightly bulkier gourd. These terracotta jack o'lanterns come in six sizes, ranging from mini (5.25 inches tall) to extra large (14.75 inches), making them suitable for both outdoor and indoor spaces. The larger options are ideal for outdoor Halloween decor, while the smaller versions are perfect for spooky tablescapes and mantelpiece decoration.
For outdoor decoration, consider creating charming yet spooky scenes using flannels and hats stuffed with straw, topped with pumpkin or skull heads, to place near porches or pumpkin patches. Enhance the ambiance with string lights in purple, orange, or green wrapped around trees and railings, solar pathway lights shaped like skulls or pumpkins, and strategically placed lighting behind tombstones and skeletons to cast dramatic shadows. DIY outdoor cemetery setups with spooky skulls, skeletons, mummies, and spider webs also add a haunted vibe.
Indoor options include making a spooky DIY wreath with black tulle or cheesecloth adorned with mini skeleton hands, spiders, and faux eyeballs, sometimes illuminated with battery-operated lights. Colorful, painted pumpkins add a modern twist on a classic—these can be DIY projects with family. Other unique ideas involve Halloween-themed rugs, cozy plushies (like spiders or bats), fuzzy blankets with Halloween motifs, and inexpensive DIY bat garlands made from black poster board for wall decor. Hanging ghosts or witch hats and eerie candles also transform the indoor space effectively.
Beyond Pottery Barn's collection, there are numerous creative Halloween decorating ideas for both outdoor and indoor spaces. These handmade terracotta jack o'lanterns, re-usable year after year, can be filled with twinkling LED lights for a decorative display, adding a warm and inviting touch to your Halloween decorations.
