Happy Halloween Favorites from Sheffield 

Sheffield School is all about design, so what better way to celebrate our four great courses than to offer you a Halloween-design related post, where the fun-and-spooky holiday has infused an area of design.

 

1. Interior Design

Boo! There's nothing that gets us more in the Halloween mood than some ghoulish furnishings. Check out this Coffin Couch. Believe it or not, there are versions that are customized to celebrate your favorite sports teams. Now that's ghoulish ... and kitschy!

And how about this Skull Chair?

 Finally, who could resist Michael Wilson's sinister-but-so-cool Spider Table?

 

 

 

2. Wedding and Event Planning

If you're sadistic ... er, romantic enough to tie the knot on Halloween, there are some great Halloween-themed wedding cakes you could create for your special time.

 And don't forget your very best Halloween duds and festive decorations....

 

3. Feng Shui

To keep the bad energy from coming into your home, make certain that your Halloween-themed door mat is positioned so the design faces away from your front door ... instead of into your house!

 

4. Jewelry Design

If you're going to celebrate this year, embrace the bling of Halloween jewelry. We love this wonderful art glass bracelet from Estancia Designs.

And who can resist anyone flashing a hat-wearing Skull Ring?

 Finally, we love this fiendishly stylish Slit Throat Choker and Blood Drop Earrings!

As lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, I'd like to wish you all a Happy Halloween. I also encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.

The spider table kicks ass. The Coffin Couch can be a nice addition to our Halloween decors except that it's a furniture.

Now that Skull Chair is a knock-out, what a fabulous original design.

We have many items with unusual designs based around the Celtic and Norse traditions. Those cultures also considered Halloween as being an important annual event.
