While\nit\u2019s always tempting to buy new stuff for a new season, it\u2019s oftentimes\nunnecessary. We bet there are plenty of pieces that you\u2019ve enjoyed all summer\nthat can be slightly repurposed to fit the coming season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve\ngathered some ideas below to get your creative juices\u2026brewing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wreaths<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sure, dark feather and twig wreaths are a Halloween staple. But what about spray painting your summer wreath black and adding plastic snakes and eyeballs? Dead flowers, broken branches and anything else that speaks to decay can also work here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your petunias and pansies are done for the year, clean out your porch planters and replace them with autumnal pieces. If you can\u2019t get your hands on birch branches, spray paint regular branches white, gold, or black with high gloss paint. Decorate them with fairy lights<\/a>, mini-pumpkins, and either faux or real bittersweet<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Swap your normal overhead or sconce standard issue LED lighting with bulbs that create a different sort of ambiance. Check out these purple<\/a> and mercury gold<\/a> options or simply grab your white holiday lights and string them around for a more festive vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor\nRug<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A great way to repurpose your summery outdoor rug without doing anything permanent is to either tape or chalk out a body outline. Spookiness engaged at level 10. Especially if you do it really early in the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a\ngood hard look at your current state of decor and see if there\u2019s anything that\ncan be modified to fit the bill. Ask Alfred Hitchcock. He discovered long ago\nthat adding a few faux black crows can make a peaceful and benign summer scene\nabsolutely haunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
