The countdown to Christmas is officially on: less than 90 days remain. Yet some holiday enthusiasts couldn't wait, pulling out their trees early to celebrate Halloween, another iconic end-of-year festivity. This trend, which emerged in fall 2016, is surging back stronger than ever. Since October 1—autumn's true kickoff—Instagram has exploded with trees draped in orange, purple, and black rather than gold, red, or silver. The creative displays are nothing short of stunning.
Picture firs festooned with skull garlands, skeletal accents, glowing eyes, bats, pint-sized ghosts, and pumpkins—either as figurines or clustered at the base. Special nods go to the clever mom who topped her tree with a giant spider instead of a star (shiver!), and U.S. decorator Jennifer Perkins' eerie candy-pink tree featuring Disney princess masks twisted into creepy vibes. Utterly chilling yet captivating. Draw inspiration for your own setup and craft that perfect cozy, haunting ambiance!
