This $12 Halloween Find Is a Surprising Twist on Seasonal Decor (It’s Giving Coastal Chic!)
Before I get into this, let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room. Yes, I know it’s still only August, but in my mind it’s time to start preparing for fall (aka the best season of the year, IMO). I’m fully craving the coziness that comes along with pumpkins, cardigans, and color-shifting leaves. Plus, as a college student, Halloween is a major deal. My roommates and I love to decorate our apartment to get into the spirit.
That being said, Halloween decor doesn’t have to mean going all-in on orange, or decking out every inch of your place with witches and jack-o’-lanterns.
How to Lean into a Coastal Grandma Theme This Halloween
If your aesthetic leans more toward a coastal grandma vibe (think: elevated beach decor paired with cozy, natural materials), Michaels is stocking some seriously cute pumpkin plates that feel festive while still delivering a classic stripe that screams “nautical.”
These ceramic plates are retailing for $11.89 a piece, and they come in various black and white striped designs. They’re the perfect size for a plate of Halloween cookies (although take note that these are hand-wash only; they shouldn’t go in your dishwasher or microwave).
These plates are a great way to get in the seasonal spirit without being too loud. The simple yet preppy look radiates that timeless and cozy Nancy Meyers vibe that coastal grandma devotees love. The stripes are a classic, but the neutral colors make it easy to match any home decor.
