Get Your Spook On: Fun Halloween Decor Ideas!

Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s time to pull out the decorations and give your space a spooky makeover! Whether you’re throwing a haunted bash or just want to make your home a little more festive, we’ve got some fun and easy decor ideas that will make your neighbors do a double take. Let's go!

1. Welcome with a Wreath

First things first—your front door! A Halloween wreath is a must. You can snag one with fake cobwebs, spooky critters, or autumn leaves. If you’re feeling crafty, grab some orange and black ribbons and make your own! Add a playful doormat that says “Trick or Treat” or “Beware” to set the mood right from the start.

2. Creepy Cobwebs Everywhere!

You can’t have Halloween without cobwebs! Stretch those faux spider webs across your porch, in your windows, or in the corners of your living room. Toss in a few plastic spiders, and you’ve got instant creep factor! (Bonus points if you can scare your friends when they show up!)

3. Pumpkin Party

Pumpkins are the MVP of Halloween decor! Go for the classic orange ones, but don’t be afraid to mix it up with painted designs, white pumpkins, or even glittery ones for a glam touch. If you haven't see it yet, Michael's is doing a Hippie Halloween theme and they have some amazing pink and glam pumpkins, you'll have to check them out. Carve some jack-o’-lanterns, or if you want to skip the mess, use LED candles for a flickering glow!

4. Mood Lighting

Set the vibe with some killer lighting! String up orange and purple lights for that perfect spooky glow. If you want to get a little fancy, use candles (real or LED) to create an eerie ambiance. And if you have blacklight bulbs, now’s the time to use them—they’ll make your decorations pop in a totally creepy way!

5. Ghostly Guests

Inflatable ghosts, skeletons, or even a witch or two can really amp up the scare factor in your yard. Hang some up on your porch or place them around the house for surprise scares. Want to DIY? Use white sheets over balloons to create your own floating ghosts. Easy and fun! Have you seen the viral ghosts? We've linked them here!

7. Table of Terror

If you’re hosting a Halloween gathering, make your dining table a creepy centerpiece! Start with a black tablecloth and add some candles, skulls, and mini pumpkins. Fill jars with candy corn or fun Halloween treats—your guests will love it! You can even add some fake eyeballs for a gross-out factor! For this one, honestly, I say go to Home Goods and get all of the amazing things. I went last week and got some amazing hand towels for my kitchen, on-theme candles, etc. It's just the best place for a good seasonal theme.

9. Graveyard Goals

If you’ve got a front yard, get creative! Is it a graveyard? A pumpkin patch? What's the theme? Even if it's just a few lanterns lighting the path to your door, let it guide those brave enough to trick-or-treat on up!

10. Get Crafty!

Feeling crafty? Make some cool DIY decor! Create glowing mason jars with glow sticks or make potion bottles with silly labels like “Witch’s Brew.” Not only is this a fun project, but it’ll give your home a personal touch that guests will love! Have any influencer videos caught your eye? The Boo Bags out of parchment paper are so genius, and the Crystal Ball for party favors is even better.
