As Halloween celebrations become more elaborate each year, many look to transform their home for the festivities. The experts at Dobbies Garden Centres have selected some of their key pieces that give a nod to the season.
Dobbies’ customers can expect to see a range of products landing in-store to give their homes the ultimate Halloween look but with a grown-up twist, allowing them to celebrate the spookiest day of the year in paired back style; a ‘not your average’ Halloween.

Rebecca Stanton, Stylist at Dobbies, commented: “There’s no need to sacrifice style for festivity at Halloween. We know our customers will be looking for ways to celebrate the 31st October but many want to do so in a more sophisticated and understated way.
“Our collection of warm orange hues accompanied by pops of black and accents of gold give subtle hints of Halloween without being too garish, creating the perfect, Instagrammable glow for the season.”
Halloween is the prime time to showcase darker coloured accessories while still keeping it sophisticated. Bold black items from candle holders to vases can give a gothic feel but by contrasting with glitzy golds the look can be balanced and give a glamorous luxe look.
