Windows
From the outside, you want your home to look like a monster house, creepy and haunted. A great way to make your home stand out from the rest on the block is by adding lights in the windows to make a creepy Halloween creature with monster eyes or ghosts. Your home from the outside will look like that haunted house you went to a teenager. Along with the lights, you can also add spider webs and a spider to add to the effect. You could also add some reclaimed wood as a border to make your home look rugged and old.
Mantel
If you have a reclaimed wood mantel in your home above your fireplace, there are many ways you can give your fireplace a look of horror. If you don’t have a reclaimed wood mantel, you need one.

Well, the obvious way is to use little trinkets such as skeletons, pumpkins, cauldrons, and ghosts. Your mantel is also the perfect place to drape cotton webs to imitate spider webs and give your mantel a haunted look.
Creepy Signs
Reclaimed wood is the perfect material to use for Halloween decorations because it can look old and rugged, which is ideal for Halloween. Talk to your local supplier and see if they have any scraps of reclaimed wood that you would use to make some wood signs to “guide” visitors through your haunted house. You can even use them as a mock tombstone in your front yard to look authentic. Look on Pinterest for inspiration on what to put on your signs.
Your Front Door
Your front door should look like the entrance to a haunted house or asylum. Use some old reclaimed wood scraps and secure them to your door in the shape of an X with some caution tape, the perfect imitated door for the spooky season.
Skeletons, Witches, Ghosts
What are the first things you think of when you think of Halloween? Witches, skeletons, and ghosts. Add these spooky creatures literally anywhere you can think of to bring the true Halloween spirit into your home. Hang some ghosts around your patio to give the outside of your home a spooky look with your monster eyes in the window and reclaimed wood tombstones in the yard.
Adding Accent Décor
Now that we touched on the few big ways you can transform your home for Halloween, let’s give you some inspiration on the different things you can do to accent these big décor ideas. Of course, what is Halloween without pumpkins? Head on over to your local pumpkin patch, pick out a few pumpkins and carve them with your best creative designs. Once it turns dark, light them up and watch your house glow. When it comes to Halloween, this is your chance to go crazy with the decorations and let all your creepy hauntings out. Reclaimed wood, pumpkins, ghosts, goblins, hauntings and more are what Halloween consists of. With a little bit of creativity and inspiration, your home could go from an everyday home to a haunted asylum. Happy Spooky Season from Rocky Mountain Reclaimed!
