7. The Glamorous Metallic Skull and Gold Leaf Assemblage
If your style leans more toward high fashion and luxury, a metallic, glam-goth mantle is the ultimate way to celebrate the season. Purchase inexpensive plastic skulls and skeleton hands from a dollar store and elevate them with metallic gold, copper, and silver spray paint. For an extra touch of sophistication, apply gold leaf sheets to select areas of the skulls, leaving some of the bone texture showing underneath. Pair these shimmering skulls with sleek black pillar candles on gold pedestals, metallic gold spray-painted pumpkins, and a lush garland made of faux black velvet magnolia leaves. The contrast between the dark, moody elements and the bright, reflective gold creates an incredibly chic focal point.
