It’s that time of year again when goths and witchy people buy year-round home decor from the Halloween section at Michael’s. Here are some tips on how to witchify your place!
10. Paint Your Front Door Purple
They say that if a house has a purple front door, it means that a witch lives there. A purple front door is a great way to let your neighbors know just how magickal you are. If your landlord or your HOA won’t let you paint your front door, you can adorn your door with a decorative purple wreath.
9. Paint Your Walls Your Power Color
Painting your walls a boring, neutral color is great if you’re trying to sell your home. But if you plan to stay in your home and you want it to be personalized to your exact taste, paint your walls a vibrant power color. You can use your zodiac sign’s power color or a color whose magickal properties you want to attract — i.e. red for passion or orange for creativity.
8. Put Out Candles With Intention
Speaking of color magick, colorful candles are another great way to attract certain energies into your home. As stated before, certain colors can have certain properties. For a little added magick, you can carve symbols onto your candles. Mystical purposes aside, candles can also add ambience to your space.
7. Crystals, Crystals, And More Crystals
Crystals are great for any witchy space. They’re like plants that you can’t kill. Stones like citrine, amethyst, and clear quartz are perfect to cleanse your space and attract positive energy. You can coordinate the colors in your home with your favorite crystals.
6. Bring Nature Inside
If you are actually able to keep plants alive, you can make your home feel like a witchy wonderland with beautiful potted plants. You can also hang dried herbs on your walls.
5. Tapestries and Quilts
The key to making your home feel like a witchy safe space is coziness. And the best way to make your home feel cozy is through elaborate textiles. You can bring a sense of warmth to your living room by hanging beautiful tapestries on your wall. And a handmade quilt for your bed will feel way more cozy than a boring old comforter.
4. Astrological or Tarot Wall Art
There is no room for minimalism in a witchy home. You want your walls to look like an art museum. If you don’t know what kind of art to hang up, you can’t go wrong with portraits inspired by tarot cards or zodiac signs. You can also paint celestial images on your ceiling.
3. Divination Tools
Divination tools such as zodiac calendars, tarot cards, and runes are not just necessary for a practicing witch. They can be aesthetically pleasing as well. If you are early in your decorating journey and you are looking for decor ideas, you can design your home around your favorite deck of tarot cards or your crystal ball.
