Description
Since 1991, Katherine's Collection has approached holiday decorating with a wonderfully theatrical point of view. Rather than creating pieces meant to quietly blend into a room, the designers embrace fantasy, fashion and elaborate storytelling, transforming witches, ghosts, vampires and other seasonal characters into richly costumed works of decorative art. Victorian influences mingle with fantasy, gothic details and unexpected touches of glamour, giving the collection an unmistakable personality that can feel elegant, eerie and delightfully extravagant all at once.
Much of the magic is found in the details. Katherine's Collection figures and decorations frequently combine sculpted forms with layers of fabric, lace, tulle, beads, rhinestones, glitter, metal and decorative trims. A witch may appear dressed for an elaborate masquerade rather than a simple Halloween gathering, while an illuminated window or architectural display can create an entire haunted scene within a single piece. Even decorative stems and smaller accents carry the same attention to texture and drama, making it possible to extend a theme beyond the central figure and throughout a room.
Katherine's Collection is especially suited to collectors who enjoy creating immersive Halloween displays. A life-size witch or dramatic character can greet guests in an entryway, anchor a haunted manor theme or become the centerpiece of a large Halloween display. Lighted decorations add atmosphere to mantels and tabletops, while glittered branches and botanical stems can be worked into urns, arrangements, wreaths and surrounding décor. Rather than filling every space, collectors can allow one spectacular Katherine's Collection piece to command attention and build the rest of the scene around it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Katherine's Collection décor so distinctive?
Katherine's Collection is known for an elaborate, theatrical decorating style that combines sculpted figures with luxurious-looking fabrics and dimensional embellishments. Lace, tulle, rhinestones, beads, glitter, decorative trims and dramatic costumes give many pieces the appearance of characters created for a fantasy stage production. Victorian, gothic and whimsical influences often come together in the same design, making the collection particularly recognizable.
How do collectors display large Katherine's Collection figures?
Life-size and oversized figures work best when they're allowed to become the focal point of a display. Place a dramatic witch, ghost or other character near an entryway, staircase, fireplace or within a larger haunted manor scene, then repeat colors and textures from the figure throughout nearby decorations. Glittered branches, candles, garlands, pumpkins and smaller Halloween tabletop pieces can extend the theme without competing with the main character.
Does Katherine's Collection release coordinating pieces and themes?
Katherine's Collection is known for developing imaginative seasonal themes that can include figures, tabletop decorations, ornaments, floral accents and larger statement pieces. Collectors can build around a favorite theme or mix releases from different years when their colors and personalities coordinate. This approach works particularly well for Halloween, where witches, vampires, ghosts and gothic decorations can gradually create the atmosphere of an elaborate haunted household.
