Happy Halloween - Orange and Black Home Decor trends

It's that time of the year again ...... Happy Halloween from Detola and Geek

"The harvest moon glows round and bold,
 In pumpkin shades outlined in gold,
 Illuminating eerie forms,
 Unnatural as Candied corn,
 Beware what crawls up your sleeve,
 For 'tis the night called Hallows Eve"
 ~ Richelle E. Goodrich

I thought I'd share my favourite Halloween trending home decor, mainly in Orange and black palettes

                               

"My take on Halloween ~ Orange is definitely the new black!"

Autumn 2014: Handmade lampshades to go with the season

So it is officially Autumn and I hear you all sounding a bit deflated. Feeling the slight drop in temperature, leaves are going to start falling, winter clothes out of the storage cupboards and more hot drinks and warm meals. It's not all dull and gloom! Just be prepared and go with the flow!

With the new fall season comes the rich warm colours like pumpkin orange, browns (chocolate, tan, sandy), natural, greens plus and don't forget the reds and blues.

I have some handmade lampshades that will lift both your mood as well as the rooms. They are all available to buy in my Folksy shop Detola And Geek

I will be introducing some new products into my Folksy store - one will be African wax print fabric wall decor.  

Colour of the day, 23rd September 2014 is Pantone's Sky Blue by Michele Bernhardt of Colorstrology. It's fair, artistic & compassionate. I'll let you be the judge of that!
