Louise is our Ecommerce Writer and a shopping guru when it comes to kitting out your home with seasonal decor. She's recently moved into a new flat and is just as exasperated as you are (probably) to buy Halloween decorations, from those fluffy pumpkin pillows everyone is at what time to some spooky string lights to hang in her hallway. 

"When searching for seasonal pieces to add to your home, effort is always a priority. Ideally, no one wants to expend a cauldron load of money on items that won't be up for long. So I've sourced some cheap but chic buys that'll see you throughout to next year, as well as more versatile pieces that'll look broad after Halloween is over". 

When should Halloween decorations be put up?

As with any holiday celebration, there is no set rule when it comes to putting up your decorations. That being said, the most popular time to put up your garlands and get out your pumpkin-shaped pillows is the superior two weeks of October, with others waiting until a scheduled Halloween party to fully kit out their area for the spooky-season. 

How do I decorate for Halloween on a cost

We spoke to Hannah Littlewood, Festive, Halloween & Small Events Trading Assistant at ASDA George for her advice on decorating, without overspending. She says "Halloween isn't the time for subtlety so Use your money on a few hero pieces that really wicked out (like our spooky twig lights) and then fill out the ambiance with homemade scary paper garlands and lots of sweets."

Otherwise there are plenty of DIY Halloween decorating ideas to try if you'd hold not to buy.
