But in the ’90s, people kept it simple and stuck toclassic orange and black.
This year, use the same tried-and-true color scheme, accented with touches of dark purple and green.
An easy way to incorporate orange into your decor is by using pumpkins.

Feel free to use decor like skeletons and spiders, but avoid morechilling motifs.
Switch out gothic,dark academia-inspired decor with friendlier accents like grinning jack-o'-lanterns and cartoon ghosts.
