DIY Indoor Halloween Decor Ideas That Aren't Too Scary

A house can feel like Halloween without a dark hallway. Paper, pumpkins, and warm lights are enough for families with little children.

Ideas to try

• A garland of white paper ghosts on the stair rail.
• Paper bats taped inside a window, all flying the same direction.
• One pumpkin on the table, not a crowd of plastic props.
• Fairy lights in a jar for the only 'spooky' glow.
• Orange and black paper chains, kept short so they do not take over the room.
• A basket of dress-up hats by the door for anyone who wants to play.
