Ideas for Decorating Your Concrete Driveway, Sidewalk, Porch, Garage, or Patio for Halloween
The start of October means it is officially time to start planning for Halloween. Many of us associate the holiday with some iconic items: pumpkins, ghosts, witches, trick-or-treating, and, of course, decorating for the season.
Outdoor decorating is often a harder task than it is for the interior of your home. To help, we have come up with a few fun and unique ways to decorate your concrete areas including your driveway, sidewalk, porch, garage, and patio to help you celebrate the spooky holiday.
Sidewalk Chalk
Sidewalk chalk may be one of the most versatile ways to decorate your outdoor space for just about any holiday, not just Halloween. This is a simple decorating activity that can also involve your kids. The most unique part of chalk is that there are no limits. You can create any designs that fit what the holiday means to you.
Lining with Light
Driveways and sidewalks serve as a walkway to sweet treats for kids on Halloween. And since trick-or-treating usually happens in the evening, taking the time to add a little light to your front door may be a good idea. A few ways you can add light is to include candles (real or battery-powered) and jack-o-lanterns. These lights make it safer for the neighborhood kids, and they look great!
Balloon Arches
Balloon arches are not common for Halloween, but they are a unique and underdone way to decorate your porch, garage, or patio for the holiday. A few ways to make your arch a bit spookier are to add designs like spooky faces to the balloons. This is also a great way to satisfy your penchant for creativity if you’re a creative person.
Carving Pumpkins
Carving pumpkins is a timeless Halloween activity for kids and adults alike. Not only is it a great way to get into the spooky spirit, but jack-o-lanterns can also be used as a great outdoor decoration. Adding your carved creation to just about any area, like your porch, is sure to boost your Halloween aesthetic.
Halloween is one of the last holidays that can be celebrated outdoors in Ohio, so have some fun this year while making your space festive. Decorating spaces made primarily of concrete can be difficult, so we hope you can draw some inspiration from our ideas.
