Yes, it’s that time of year again. Halloween seems to get bigger and bigger and for all our sugar-starved children, the chance to knock on people’s doors and mug them for sweets is one of the highlights of their year. So in the spirit of all things ghostly, we are, this week, mad about halloween gothic.
This cushion is from German company JAB Anstoetz.
Look closely at this wallpaper
These creepy crawly storage jars are perfect
Finnish designer Eero Aarnio (he of the fabulous Bubble Chair) has made this gorgeous ghost light
Or what about this desk lamp which is rather like a witch’s hat
Perhaps you prefer candles on Halloween?
Serve up some spooky treats on this gorgeous black flower plate from Liberty
Which means you will need a napkin
By which time you’ll be needing a drink, so this bottle opener will be spookily handy
Or perhaps you prefer to decant
And if you’ve got a drink, you’ll be wanting to sit down
And finally, as orange has never been my colour and you know how I love monochrome:
oops this was obvs not a Halloween post. sorry. need to get some sleep!
hi Kate what do you think about maybe using the Brooklyn tile wallpaper for our main bathroom ceiling? at £219 a pop it feels a bit risky. is it true that using some kinda varnish over the paper would prevent any water damage or from simply peeling off? am gonna have to ask Santa for a roll or 2 as budget very tight but I HAVE to have this wallpaper somewhere in this house…… thank you my lovely x sam x
Hi Sam, wallpaper in bathrooms is a popular subject, so rather than just try and answer in a couple of lines here, I am going to do a full post. Check back on 7 November….
