Design Deals

By Gwendolyn Purdom   Published Wednesday, October 28, 2009

These last-minute Halloween-themed design finds are sweeter than candy corn.

Alexandria’s Red Barn Mercantile is offering 25 percent off all Halloween decorations, cards, and gifts. We like the festive “Boo” pillow for $37.50 and the vintage-inspired devil basket for $12.00. If you’re willing to shell out a little more candy, this quirky chart of the human skeleton is $775.

For an embrace-your-inner-child celebration like Halloween, Pottery Barn Kids has you covered—and for cheap. Wouldn’t this $24.99 bat chandelier, originally $59, go great in your entry way? Or how about shrouding your party punch bowl with this Halloween star canopy for $44.99, originally $99?

If you don’t want orange-and-black season to end, Pier 1 Imports is offering this rust-colored pillow for $22.46, marked down from $29.95 Or go with an autumn theme with these falling leaves tablecloth and napkins from Crate and Barrel. The fall-tastic fabric will look great under your Halloween candy bowl. And they’re on sale for $4.50 to $43.95
