Fans React as Home Depot Launches Massive Halloween Decorations in July

Posted on By Maria J. Glover

Now is the time to buy your Halloween decorations. Yes, you read that correctly.

While there may be over 100 days until the spookiest day of the year, stores across the United States are already dropping their Halloween decor.

On July 12, Home Depot announced that their famously massive decorations, including their headline-making 12-foot skeleton, will be available for purchase starting tomorrow, July 13.

The home improvement company noted on its Instagram account, “Honestly, these scare even us. Our full Halloween assortment will launch tomorrow, 7/13 by 7 a.m. ET. While supplies last.”

The announcement wrapped up with the smartly used “#codeorange,” which is a term used by Halloween buffs to keep track of new ornamentation released.

Though Halloween superfans start “spooky season” right after the Fourth of July, as Halloween is the next big decorative holiday in the calendar—sorry, Labor Day—Home Depot’s customers were still shocked to see the fall-centric announcement.

“It’s frickn July,” one top comment read.

Another follower chimed in, “Bro it’s still summer.”

A third wrote, “Why is Halloween starting so early this year? I don’t get it, can anyone explain?!?”

Of course, it didn’t take long for spooky season fans to chime in, as one responded, “Yes!!!! Don’t listen to the naysayers!! We want Halloween!! We want Halloween!!!”

And Home Depot is not alone in launching its decor in time for, what some have called, “Summerween.” A code

Shop Home Depot’s 13-Foot Jack Skellington For Halloween

The Home Depot’s famous 12-foot skeleton has nothing on the retailer’s latest oversize Halloween release. This year, shoppers can score a Jack Skellington figure that measures a staggering 13 feet tall, making it the largest piece of spooky decor we’ve seen yet. The lawn ornament looks just like the Pumpkin King from Disney’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” — black pinstripe suit, hollow eyes, and all. It comes equipped with color-changing LED lights to illuminate the face at night, so trick-or-treaters will feel like they’re smack dab in the middle of Halloween Town when they approach your home.

Thanks to built-in motion sensors, the animatronic character’s head and mouth move when people walk by, and it also sings three different melodies from “Jack’s Lament.” If you prefer the figure to have a more sinister appearance, swap out the face plate for a second option with more evil-looking eyes.

The 13-foot Jack Skellington joins a host of other larger-than-life Halloween decorations to be offered at The Home Depot this year, including a 12-foot witch that hovers above the ground, an eight-foot grim reaper with a pointy scythe, and, of course, the ever-popular 12-foot skeleton with light-up eyes. The Home Depot’s 2023 Halloween products will be available in stores starting at the end of August, but select decorations began rolling out online on July 13. Shop our top picks so far ahead, and stay tuned for more items to drop online this month.

5 decor swaps to keep your home cooler this summer

Posted on By Maria J. Glover

As the temperature outside rises, the annual quest for a cooler home begins — but without spending a fortune on our utility bills.

Try incorporating these home-cooling design moves. By swapping out heavy textiles for airy fabrics and setting up effective cross-ventilation, you can create a cooler house without touching the thermostat. Here’s how to design your way to a chill, summer-ready house.

1. Ditch the fuzzy rugs.

If your home is full of cozy wool rugs or fluffy shag rugs, give them the summer off. Roll them up and store them safely, making sure they are protected from bugs and out of direct sunlight so they won’t fade.

Then, embrace a bare hardwood or stone floor, which is cooler underfoot. For those spots that need a rug, such as beside the bed or under the kitchen sink, swap in a flatwoven rug in a natural fiber.

2. Invest in cooling window treatments.

Gauzy, lightweight curtains might create a summery vibe in a room, but because they let lots of sunlight filter through and won’t help cool the space. To lower your energy bill, invest in shades that have a white plastic lining on the outside of the window as this reflects back as much light as possible.

3. Create cross ventilation.

For those who don’t have central air conditioning, cross ventilation is your best friend on hot days and will help keep the fresh air circulating.

To start, open two windows (or a window and a door) that are located across the room or even across the house or apartment, depending on the size of your space. Set up a fan next to one window, so it will help propel the fresh incoming air throughout your home. The more powerful the fan, the better the

10 pool landscaping ideas to splash-proof your outdoor space

Posted on By Maria J. Glover
GARDEN

When it comes to the best pool landscaping ideas, there are a few things to consider. As well as wanting your splash zone to look good, you need to give some serious consideration to the plants you choose to add to your space, the materials you use to landscape the surrounding area and any patio furniture you invest in. 

After all, in-ground and above-ground pools are wet places. And therefore only the toughest of materials, plants and furnishings will survive. But here’s the good news: landscaping your poolside can be as bright and bold or as calm and composed as you want it to be. 

As interior designers, Hillary Kaplan and Miriam Silver Verga of Mimi & Hill (opens in new tab) say, ‘Landscaping can be bright and elaborate. Or tamed to uniform shades of greens and manicured to create an architectural background for your pool.’ And when it comes to creativity, ‘Plantings and material selections are crucial to how creative you wish to be,’ the duo say. 

To help give you some inspiration when it comes to pool landscaping and seamlessly incorporating this into your backyard landscape design, we put the all-important questions to the experts to find out what’s best for your space.
