Create a focal point, keep your walkway open, and make every decoration count. Start with what you already have, choose one focal point, and give yourself permission to keep it simple.
Choose one place to look
Pick the corner nearest your entrance. Three pumpkins at different heights and a warm lantern give visitors a destination without filling the whole lawn.
Build upward
Use the porch rail, a sturdy hook or an existing planter for height. Avoid attaching anything to power lines, gutters or a fragile branch.
Finish with light
Walk outside after dark. If the path disappears, move your decorative lighting and add a separate, steady light for the steps.
Before the first trick-or-treater
Check the display after dark. Secure loose pieces, keep the door and walkway clear, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for lights and props. Plan to bring delicate items inside if the weather changes.
Save the idea for later.
A small yard. A wonderfully big impression.
Create a focal point, keep your walkway open, and make every decoration count.
