With Halloween just around the corner, if you really want to scare your friends, family or neighbors into trick-or-treating night, bring your decorations to life with our lighting tips. Nobody will be indifferent!

1. Use and abuse of candles and candlesticks
In addition to being an extremely common object in the decoration of our homes, candles have something sinister when combined with Halloween elements. Mix sizes, widths and colors on a board to make a centerpiece, over the fireplace or place them along hallways and stairs to create a mysterious and spooky atmosphere.

2. Bet on RGB to create more interesting environments
The secret to a Halloween decor that is both spooky and visually interesting is to create layers of color that bring a spooky atmosphere to your space. From red, to green, purple or orange, there are many color combinations that evoke the spirit of Halloween. RGB lighting is perfect for creating a mysterious mood while the kids in your neighborhood or street knock on your door for trick-or-treating.

3. Repurpose your Christmas lights
Your Christmas lights don't just have to be used during the holiday season. Go to the den or attic to dig up your Christmas decorations, and get the most out of your Christmas tree lights. Combine them with typical Halloween elements, such as pumpkins, skeletons or ghosts, and create original decoration points that are both cozy and scary.

4. Don't be afraid of the dark
The absence of light is an easy and common method to promote a scary atmosphere, full of fear and suspense. Place a lamp or candle like inside a carved pumpkin, with spooky shapes to your liking. Turn off the remaining lights, highlighting the pumpkin in the dark with its mysterious shadows. If you want to make the environment even more sinister, opt for a lamp that changes color to add more dimension to the space.
