I LOVE Halloween. I have boxes full of Halloween decorations in the attic the way other people have Christmas decorations. There are lots of pumpkins and skeletons but I also love a theme. Something a bit different to give my Halloween decorations or dinner party an edge.
Below are two of my favourite Halloween-inspired ideas – creepy Victorian gothic glamour and spooky chic black and gold. Why not take things a step further and keep Halloween going all year round?!
Gothic Glamour
Featuring muted colours, tufted velvet, black lace, baroque mirrors, taxidermy and candlelight, this look is classic Victorian at it’s spooky best. Think Edgar Allan Poe meets Miss Havisham for cocktails.

Black and Gold
Forget black and orange, for maximum spooky chic you can’t beat black and gold. Mix crisp lines, leather and glass with bright gold and brass accents.
