The Key to a Memorable Halloween Party!

Halloween is not limited to the simple custom of children dressing up and collecting treats. It is, above all, an opportunity to gather friends for an evening of fun and thrills! Changing your appearance for the night, playing at scaring each other, and concocting disgusting dishes—these are all the ingredients for a memorable and chilling experience!

Transform yourself for Halloween!

Halloween

For a memorable party, choose your Halloween costume with care!

Refine the details! To be fully immersed in your character, bet on makeup and fake blood for a diabolical effect. Let your creativity run wild.

Add a final touch! Accessorize your costume with false nails, colored contact lenses, a wig, or even frightening accessories like spiderwebs or masks. Find everything you need to be the center of attention during the Halloween party!

The Magic of the Pumpkin for Halloween!

Halloween

The pumpkin remains the undisputed emblem of October 31st. At Designix, it comes in all forms: illuminated lanterns, statuettes, accessories, and much more!

A journey through time

The Halloween tradition took root in North America with the massive arrival of Irish and Scottish immigrants at the end of the 19th century. It was at this time that pumpkins replaced European rutabagas and turnips to create the famous lanterns intended to ward off evil spirits.

The mystery of Jack o' Lantern

Jack O' Lantern derives from an old Irish tale. A miserly, selfish, and wicked character, he cannot enter heaven or hell upon his death. After negotiating with the devil, he obtains a coal to light his path. Since then, he wanders aimlessly, reappearing every year on the day of his death to celebrate Halloween.

Dive into Horror with Spooky Halloween Decor!

Halloween

For an atmosphere worthy of the greatest thrills, rely on terrifying elements for your decoration: rats, spiders, bats, black cats, toads, skeletons, and pumpkins!

Start at the entrance to plunge your guests into the macabre atmosphere. Illuminated pumpkin lanterns, bones emerging from the ground, or a skeleton sitting on a chair will be enough to set the mood. Hang a spiderweb on the gate or the front door for a guaranteed terror effect!

Don't hesitate to fill your home with gloomy decorations. The more there are, the more striking the haunted house effect will be!

A Table Worthy of the Greatest Thrills!

Halloween

For a table setting to make Dracula himself pale, bet on captivating lighting. A candle holder will bring a solemn and dramatic touch, while silver or glittered tea light holders will add a sinister and refined glow.

For a bloody touch, create your own blood-dripping candles by pouring hot red wax onto white candles. It's simple and delightfully terrifying!

Dress up chairs with old torn sheets for a ghostly atmosphere.

Finally, for a centerpiece worthy of an altar of darkness, opt for a raven in a glass cloche or a tombstone. Otherwise, let your withered flowers reign supreme on this night of the dead.
