Why Your Traditional Roof Lantern is the best Halloween Accessory

It’s Halloween in a matter of days!

That’s right, our favourite time of year is upon us and we can’t wait to get decorative, transforming our homes into spooky scenes worthy of a monster mash. Having a traditional roof lantern not only gives your home a sense of grandeur, but it ensures you’re ready for the spooky season in more ways than one! Lets take a look at why your roof lantern is in fact the most fitting Hallows Eve accessory.

The Perfect Haunted House

We all know that his time of year is about cosy evenings, but Halloween certainly gives us an excuse to get together with friends and party like there’s no tomorrow! After the last 18 months, we’re most definitely deserving of a spooky spectacular. Your traditional roof lantern will help to create an atmosphere like no other.

Your lantern not only gives your home the wow factory from the outside, but inside, it creates an abundance of space, ideal for a devilish dinner party. It can also help to create the perfect dancing space. Imagine a dance floor under the light of a full moon!

Trick or Trend

Halloween, Autumn, Christmas – whatever the season, a traditional roof lantern ensures that you are on trend all year round. This does work particularly well in Autumn because of the décor that you can embrace!

A space that can be filled with natural light is always going to be a welcoming one. In the latter months of the season, the night time sky can make your chosen room a cosy haven. You won’t be able to keep the vampires away! From a selection of warming candles, throws and cushions, feature walls and pots of pampas grass, a roof lantern accommodates everything. Not to mention, it’s very easy to make Halloween décor a festive, focal feature hanging below your lantern!

Ghoulish Garnishing

It wouldn’t be a Halloween blog if we didn’t give you our favourite seasonal home décor tips to go with your traditional roof lantern! Your roof lantern can not only help your home become the perfect autumnal abode, but you can easily transform it into a Ghoulish grotto with a few simple, affordable touches.

Pumpkins

Pumpkins are a simple way to get you in the festive spirit. You can leave them plain to inject a little colour to your roof lantern room, or if you’re feeling extra creative, you could try pumpkin painting with colours and glitter. There really is no limit as to what you can create!

Candy Bowls

Easy, simple and irresistible! Strategically placed candy bowls ensure that you are putting the treat in ‘trick or treat’ for your guests this Halloween! You can match the candy with your colour scheme, or go full on scary with a giant cauldron full of chocolate eyeballs and jelly lips and teeth!

Spider Web

Any supermarket will have this available. Don’t be alarmed, it looks like a giant ball of cotton wool, but once pulled apart, it becomes a giant spider’s web! Perfect for hanging from your traditional roof lantern or around the lights, it’ll give your home that eerie feel, without the spiders!

Wreaths

These are a very popular home trend around autumn, but why not make it a little more festive by adding some orange colour, plastic spiders and cobwebs! You can add as much as you feel necessary! Perfect for welcoming in your friends… or fiends!

Bats and Spiders

If you already have some rustic twigs or foliage in your house, why not cut out some spooky spider and bat shapes to hang off them. Used black card and tie with some string, accompany with some fake spider web and you’re party ready!
