Instagram Queens of Halloween!

by Lee Franklin October 31, 2019 2 Comments

Happy Halloween! We thought we would treat everyone to a fabulous collection of retro Halloween décor for the Eve of All Hallows this year. We've chosen 6 of our favourite Retro Halloween enthusiasts over on Instagram for your visual delight!

Here in the UK, our celebration of Halloween is pretty much restricted to the day itself when some households, who don’t mind trick or treaters calling, will decorate their homes or porches with suitably spooky décor. I think it’s fair to say that it’s generally quite a gentle affair …. But over the pond, our American cousins are grabbing the event by both hands and really giving it some! We would like to introduce us mild mannered Brits to some Queens of Halloween décor who are seriously rockin’ their stuff when it comes to embracing this autumnal celebration!

 All our Insta Queens of Halloween are lovers of vintage and (of course) mad about Halloween, but they’re all very different in style and aesthetic. So if you’re looking to up your game in Halloween decor, then these ladies can definitely teach us a trick or two ... and it’s certainly a treat (sorry, I know, bad punn) ...

We'll start with Jennifer who combines fabulous Mid Century style with quirky Halloween décor, a lifestyle writer and blogger specialising in “crafts, kitsch and kids”, she can teach you how to create amazing trees for every seasonal celebration. She is also a vintage seller on Etsy .. check out all her links in her insta bio : @Jenniferperkins 

Jennie is a kitsch-obsessed pyrex collector, and she puts together the most awesome seasonal displays. Check out her insta for all-year-round pyrex and vintage goodness! @Jennie_loves

Shanna’s home is an eclectic mix of Mid Century kitsch and ALL seasonal décor! … “ in this household it can be Halloween or Christmas (often both) on any given day of the year ”. Feast your eyes on her Instagram feed: @antique_vestige and from there you can also link to her Etsy store of vintage and handmade kitsch seasonal decor.

Vanessa, co-host of #theretroroulette on Instagram, has a fabulous dark sense of humour which she combines with vintage pop to create fun, high kitsch Halloween assemblages and décor … It’s a Halloween disco baby! @vintagevspot  

We were honoured to feature her fabulous home in one of our House Tours earlier in the year. If you wish to learn more about her vintage philosophy and inspirations, check out Vaness'a Retro Rainbow Chic Home 

Johanna is a self-confessed “Halloween Dreamer, Pattern Artist & Schemer”. She collaborates with other spooky artists to create some amazing Halloween themed décor and accessories in a retro folk art style.
