We're making a nice early start to our Halloween planning this year. New house, we've got some cool ideas. First job we ticked off - a spooky monster eye for the front door. So super easy to make, perfect if you have a round glass panel like us but it will still work on other style doors too.

All you need is paper and glue. A big sheet of white paper, some black and a colour. We went with green, but you could do red or yellow etc.  Just cut a big circle of white paper to a size big enough to cover your round window or fit the width of your front door. Next circle a bit smaller is your colour, smaller again for the black and a little circle of white to look light the light bouncing off. SO EASY! Glue together with some stick glue and for longevity have it laminated!

Seriously, forget pink for girls and blue for boys. These black and white bedroom ideas for kids are perfect with cute pops of colour.

Below: A cool space for older kids. White walls and black furniture, the perfect backdrop to make your favourite things stand out.  

Chalk boards and chalk walls are a fantastic way to incorporate bold black and white in the nursery or playroom and provide the perfect space for some creativity. 

But black and white doesn't have to be the main focus of the rooms decor. Below and as shown in some of the ideas above, black and white pattern can add visual interest to a room. Here a beautiful black and white chevron tee pee still stands out surrounded by colour including our rainbow born to be wild print.
