Halloween decorating has a way of escalating quickly. You begin with two pumpkins by the front door. Then you spot a skeleton that would look good in the chair. A few bats seem harmless.

There is something wonderfully different about vintage Halloween. Instead of enormous inflatables, digital projections, and elaborate animatronics, the Halloween homes of earlier decades often relied on simpler ingredients: glowing jack-o’-lanterns, orange-and-black paper decorations, grinning cats, crescent moons, crepe-paper streamers, cardboard skeletons, and just enough candlelight to make everything look mysterious after dark.

Winter decorating is about more than putting away the Christmas ornaments and waiting for spring. Once the holidays are over, a home can suddenly feel a little bare. The tree comes down, garlands disappear, and rooms that felt festive in December can look surprisingly empty in January. That makes winter the perfect season to shift …

The living room is one of the hardest-working spaces in the home. It may serve as a place to relax, entertain guests, watch movies, read, play games, fold laundry, or simply sit with a cup of coffee at the end of the day. Because it carries so many roles, even small decorating changes can have …

The bathroom may be one of the most practical rooms in the house, but that does not mean it has to feel purely functional.
