Ghosts, goblins, ghouls–oh my! Halloween gives everyone a chance to embrace their spooky side. Whether haunted by a lack of shed organization or bewitched by a desire to make your new decorations shine, these Halloween tricks will help turn the season into a real treat.

Get to the Fun Part Faster

The best part of Halloween decorations is … well … decorating! Allow for easy access and save time by designating a specific section of your shed to spooky season. A wagon or cart can help transport decorations from your shed to your porch quickly. With this setup, you’ll be impressing trick-or-treaters in no time.

Make Your Space Yours

You don’t need to break the bank to decorate your home this Halloween. Think about what else is already in your shed or space and how it could be repurposed for spooky season. For example, own a canoe? It’s haunted now and filled with the skeletons of lost explorers. And that outdoor entertaining area? Now it’s a spooky soirée for ghostly guests.

Engage the Senses

We tend to focus on the visual aspects of Halloween, but don’t forget about the other senses. Try hiding a Bluetooth speaker somewhere to play creepy noises through your phone or adding unexpected texture to surfaces with cotton balls.

When it comes to Halloween, organizing and decorating should be the least scary part. Have a plan, but most importantly, have fun!
