Halloween

Halloween lists collect outdoor and indoor styling that still looks like a home: pumpkin-lined porches, black-and-white mantels, dinner tables with a little drama, bathrooms and dorm rooms with a seasonal wink. The lists range from elegant and minimal to full haunted-house, so there is a version for every taste. Each photo has a note on the balance — how much black, which textures, where the light goes — that keeps the decor stylish instead of cluttered.
