I love decorating for holidays and Halloween is no exception. This is the perfect time of year to have fun with your decor and go for things that you wouldn’t normally try for 11 months out of the year. Experiment with dark colours and decorate places in your home you wouldn’t normally, like an unused corner or your windowsills.

I know these 21 Halloween decor ideas will help you conjure up the perfect spooky vibes for this Halloween season.

Key Design Tips

  • think outside the box! Halloween is fun so have fun with your decor
  • keep your design cohesive and stick to a color palette for a more chic look
  • If you are having trouble with ideas stick to the tradition decor like ghosts, skulls, ravens and black branches

01 | Spooky Entrance

Welcome guests with a creepy front door. Use a black wreath adorned with spiders, bats, and faux cobwebs or DIY your own sheet ghosts. Add a spooky doormat and a “Beware” sign to set the tone.

02 | Pumpkin Display

Create a pumpkin display on your porch or front steps. Mix carved jack-o’-lanterns with painted and embellished pumpkins for variety. Consider using LED candles inside for a safe glow.

03 | Ghostly Entryway

Make ghostly pumkin figures by using all white pumpkins in varying shapes and sizes. These all white pumpkins will add an eerie touch to your outdoor decor.

04 | Coffee Table Spiders

Set up an outdoor movie screening of classic horror films. Use a projector, a white sheet, and plenty of cozy blankets and pillows. Serve popcorn and candy for an authentic experience.

16 | Halloween Wreath

Decorate your front door, or window with a boho halloween wreath.

Drape ghost garlands across your mantel, stair railings, or entryway. Make them from cheesecloth or white fabric, and stuff them lightly for a floating effect. Add googly eyes for a playful touch.

19 | Spooky Console Table

Bring your spooky vibes to life by decorating your console table. Include DIY paper bats and switch out your regular decor for blank skulls and other halloween inspired items.

20 | Skeleton Front Door

Transform your front porch into a fun space with layered Halloween decor. Place a life-sized skeleton lounging casually on a rocking chair, perhaps holding a lantern with a flickering LED candle. Complete the scene with hanging lanterns or string lights in warm, and hanging witch hats.

21 | Metal Haunted Houses

For those who prefer a more understated approach, keep things minimal with some DIY metal haunted houses.
