Home decor is an art, and it is one that is developed over time. There are professionals who decorate homes for a living, DIY tutorials dedicated to teaching new strategies, books and magazines published to offer fresh ideas, and even entire TV stations offering constant access to home decor mania with an almost cultish following. Home decor, however relative as it may be, makes your house your own. Modern, rustic, contemporary, bohemian, coastal, industrial, minimalist, … and the list goes on and on. No matter which style speaks to you, every home has certain select pieces -- statement pieces, if you will -- that offer personal reflections of the individuals who inhabit that space. These are treasures, keepsakes, and even conversation starters that say, “Yes, this house is [insert style here], but extraordinary, one-of-a-kind people live here.” Something as large as a wall mural, or as small as a Limoges box, in a selective spot in your home can complement your overall design and elicit smiles from your style.
Home decor evolves … especially when it comes to the special seasonal moments we enjoy. One of the best things about the changing of seasons is the opportunity it provides to change up our home decor. We all love the colorful lights and garlands that inspire winter cheer, the bright flowers that brighten up the spring space, the light and airy feel of summer ambiance. But Fall flourish is a favorite with LimogesCollector. Deep Autumnal hues, the double-hitter holidays, and, of course, the kooky and delicious inspirations that befall (pun intended) our artists as they create our amazing hand painted Limoges boxes.

Halloween
How do you like to celebrate “Halloween”? Are you a costume-wearing-party-goer? Do you like to stay home and pass out candy to the neighborhood youngsters? Do you enjoy binge-watching scary movies? Perhaps you are all about carving pumpkins after scouring the pumpkin patch for the perfect gourd? There are many ways to enjoy this holiday, and, thus many different ways to get your home ready for all the action. LimogesCollector carries plenty of Halloween Limoges boxes that will capture the way you love to spend this time of year and add some Fall fun to your seasonal home decor.
Costumes
October 31st is a fun day to get yourself in a creative costume, dress up your kids, and even disguise your pets. It’s a day when you get to be someone (or something) else, often aiming for a high shock factor. There are a few costumes that are classic go-tos that you are guaranteed to see all around you this time of year. These are often the same traditional elements people choose to display in their windows, their porches, and their walls. Ghosts, witches, scarecrows, black cats, spiders (and webs), are such staples that set the tone of this spine-tingling season. Although you may have to wait for the 31st to don that costume, you can have an eerie celebration in your home all month long! We have those spiders and witches and scarecrows, as well as other quintessential costume inspirations ( such as the “Halloween Witch Hat with Pumpkin Limoges Box” and “Scarecrow with Crow Limoges Box”) to place in your home and make it truly Boo-tiful.
Candy
It’s hard to tell which is the most pivotal part of this holiday, the costumes or the candy. Either way, sweet treats are definitely a driving force and a must-have this season. Fill those bowls, and prepare those totes and buckets. If you have children or grandchildren, you’ll probably want to have candy in your cupboards this season and maybe even out on display as part of your playful decor. Those edible treats won’t last long, so you’ll need some backup to keep your space looking fearsomely candy-rific. Take a look at our sweet-treat limoges boxes, like the “Candy Jar with Candy Assortment” which you can add to your real sugar stash to sweeten up your Halloween decor.
Trick-or-Treating
Once dusk hits, the streets fill with little tykes on a very focused mission -- to fill their bags with as much candy as possible before the end of the night!! If you are a yearly contributor to their cause, passing out chocolates, gummies, and lollipops, you’ll surely get a kick out the variety of costumes on display on your doorstep. If this sugary distribution is your favorite part of the October festivities, it should be part of your decorative design this year. We have different styles of colorful and winsome Trick or Treat bags (“Halloween Trick or Treat Bag with 4 Candies Limoges Box”) much like the ones that all the cute children will be wanting you to fill when they come a knockin’; the candy will go fast, but your Limoges Box will still be there to memorialize your noble efforts.
Scary Movies
You may be one of the millions of people who really enjoy the rush of a scary movie. You may be inclined to check under your bed and behind your shower curtain for days afterward, but it is worth the adrenaline rush. There are plenty of films that have become staples of this holiday, that you’ll surely come across as you flip through the TV stations this year. For you seasonal movie lovers, there is the “Lucy Halloween Witch Flying with Broom Limoges Box,” because we all know that the Peanuts always have us covered when it comes to classic holiday flicks. Place it near your entertainment center and get excited for the big movie night!
Pumpkin Carving
Pumpkins come in so many shapes and sizes, ensuring that you can really find the perfect canvas for the artistic carving you choose to pursue this year. It can often be hard to choose your whittling venture, as your peruse Pinterest, YouTube, and Instagram for new ideas and tutorials. Try adding LimogesCollector to your inspiration list this year, and take a look at our ghoulish gourds, like the “Spooky Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin with Black Cat Limoges Box,” which could just inspire this year’s creation to decorate your entryway.
Haunted House
If you prefer a more live experience instead of watching spooky action on TV, a haunted house may be your jam. Community centers and amusement parks often provide the opportunity to enter into such a frightening exhibit. You may think your home decor is riveting and sure to please Halloween-lovers, but these local haunts are usually filled with next-level frights. For those of you who like to pursue these spooky, enter-if-you-dare establishments on this eerie eve, build up your nerve (or live vicariously), with our good old “Halloween Haunted House with Green Ghosts and Pumpkins”.
Take a look at our complete collection of Limoges boxes! There’s sure to be a fine French collectable just perfect for your one-of-a-kind decorative experience.
