October tends to be the time we start seeing holiday décor around town and at home. From Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year’s, incorporating festive pieces into your interior design can increase your family’s merriment throughout the holiday seasons.

Whether you want to gain notoriety in your neighborhood or simply integrate a few key pieces in your home, holiday decorating can be a reasonable task if you know where to look for expert advice. Michael’s – with convenient locations throughout the Valley – is the ultimate destination for your holiday needs.

If seasonal decorating is on your mind (which it should be as we are swiftly approaching Halloween and, soon after, Thanksgiving) we suggest researching their website to view products and watch DIY tutorials to spark creativity. You’ll also have an idea of what projects / items you want for your own home. Next, head to your local Michael’s location. Once there, you’ll be delightfully overwhelmed with sparkly glitter, silk flowers, intricate ribbon, detailed crafts and a bevy of potential DIY projects. We also suggest going when you have ample time to cruise the aisles and perfect your decorating dreams. Michael’s employs a staff that loves crafting as much as the most enthusiastic pinner, and they are eager to assist with practical tips and tricks.

In October we see start seeing ambiances strategically crafted for fall as well as Halloween-themed decorations. This year, with the help of Michael’s, we created both. Here are some of our favorite seasonal looks featuring Michael’s items.

The dining room table is often a focal point of the home, especially around the celebratory holiday months. The pros helped us choose fitting floral and complimentary decorative pieces mixed with a little DIY. We also got some table inspiration from a Michael’s Video.

We love the holiday marquee letters. We were inspired for our version from the expert crafting video from Michael’s.

Before Santa’s visit, the fireplace can be used for a spooky centerpiece. We found inspiration from
Creepy Shadowbox Video  and from the Spooky Banner Video.

With October nearing an end, stay tuned for future holiday decorating ideas
