Ditch the orange, purple and black plastic! This is PENSON’s Halloween inspiration for all you design mavens out there – whether you’re throwing a party tomorrow night or not. Halloween isn’t just for kids. Create an autumnal scene in your communal space – at the office or at home. Subtle hints are all you need to achieve Halloween minimalism – and remember to keep the backdrop to a base colour like black, grey or white. Put in the effort and the result will be worth it. Grab your best pumpkins and squash and get decorating!
The PENSON team had great fun compiling our favourite Halloween Pinterest images. We’ve shared our favourites here…
