Whether you’re looking for something that’s cute, creepy, or a little bit of both, we’ve got you covered.
With these Halloween decoration ideas, you’ll have the most festive house on the block.
1. Add some spooky lighting
Lighting is an easy and inexpensive way to add some drama to your Halloween decor.
You can use colored bulbs to cast an eerie glow on your space, or put candles in your windows to welcome trick-or-treaters.
I used a combination of string lights and a moon lamp to give my mantel a spooky glow. I love how the light brings out the details in the decor!
2. Make a Halloween sign
A simple Halloween sign is an easy way to add a little holiday decor to any room in your home.
You can make a sign like this with some scrap wood, black paint, and a stencil, or you can use a premade sign and add a vinyl decal to it.
I made this sign with some scrap wood and some stencils I cut with my Cricut machine.
I love the way it turned out and how it adds a little spooky to our kitchen!
3. Decorate your mantel
This mantel is a great example of using a few simple elements to create a big impact.
The black and white color scheme works so well and I love the use of the black bats and the black and white pumpkins.
The focal point of the mantel is the large “BOO” sign.
You could easily make your own or find one at a craft store. I love the texture of the sign and the way it stands out against the black mantel.
4. Create a stylish Halloween table
If you’re planning on hosting a Halloween party, you can’t forget about the table! This is the perfect place to show off your spooky decor skills.
We love how this table is set with a classic black and white color scheme, and the skull centerpieces are the perfect touch.
You can create a similar look with a few faux skulls, a black tablecloth, and some white candles.
Don’t forget to add some Halloween-themed treats to your table!
5. Hang some Halloween wall art
If you want to keep it simple, a quick way to add some Halloween vibes to your home is to hang a few pieces of Halloween wall art.
You can find some really cute options on Etsy, like this Halloween garland and this trick or treat sign.
You can also shop for Halloween wall art at your favorite home decor stores.
I love this Halloween print from Minted, and this Halloween pennant banner from Pottery Barn is so cute!
6. Add a Halloween pillow or two
If you’re not quite ready to go all out with your Halloween decor, a simple pillow can be a great way to add a touch of Halloween to your home.
I have a few Halloween pillows that I love to bring out each year, and I’ve also seen some really fun ones at places like HomeGoods and Target.
7. Make a Halloween wreath
Every home should have a wreath for every season! Wreaths are so easy to make and can be as simple or as complex as you want.
I love this spooky wreath that you can make with just a few supplies from the craft store.
If you’re not into the spooky side of Halloween, you can make a more elegant Halloween wreath with gold accents and a simple color palette.
8. Add some Halloween accessories
If you’re not ready to go all out with the Halloween decor, just add some spooky accessories to your existing decor, like we did in our family room.
We added some spooky throw pillows to our couch and a few Halloween signs to our shelves.
You can also add a few pumpkins to your fireplace or a spooky garland to your mantle.
9. Decorate with candy
Candy isn’t just for eating! You can also use it to decorate your home for Halloween.
Fill glass jars with candy corn and other Halloween candies, and display them on a bar cart or side table.
You can also use candy as a vase filler for fresh or faux flowers.
10. Create a Halloween bar
You can easily transform a bar cart, side table, or console table into a Halloween bar.
I like to use some of the same decor pieces I use for my Halloween mantel and create a spooky display around the bar.
I also like to add a small sign to the bar cart. You can easily make one with a piece of wood, chalkboard paint, and a white paint pen.
You can also find a variety of Halloween signs on Etsy.
11. Make a Halloween centerpiece
If you’re not into the spooky decor, you can still make your home feel festive with a simple Halloween centerpiece.
For this one, I used a black and white table runner and added some mini pumpkins, black candlesticks, and a few Halloween signs.
I love how simple and cute it turned out!
12. Use black and white for a modern Halloween look
If you’re not a fan of bright orange, you can still decorate for Halloween! Just use a classic black and white color scheme instead.
This look is so chic and fun, and you can easily find black and white decorations at most stores.
13. Add some Halloween towels to your bathroom
A few easy changes can make a big difference in your bathroom.
If you have a small bathroom or don’t want to spend a lot of money on decor, try adding a few Halloween-themed towels to your towel rack or hooks.
I found these towels at Target and love how they add a pop of color to the space.
I think the orange and black color scheme is so fun for Halloween, but you could also use white, gray, or purple towels if you prefer.
14. Add some Halloween to your kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it’s a great place to add a little festive decor.
This kitchen island is perfectly decked out with a few simple Halloween decorations.
A fun banner, a few pumpkins, and a spooky sign are all you need to make your kitchen feel like Halloween.
15. Create a Halloween gallery wall
When you’re not sure how to decorate a wall, a gallery wall is always a good idea! I love the idea of creating a Halloween-themed gallery wall with a mix of spooky and not-so-spooky prints and signs.
If you don’t have a lot of wall space to work with, you can also create a smaller gallery wall on a shelf or console table.
16. Make a Halloween tree
If you’re looking for a fun way to decorate for Halloween, a Halloween tree is a great idea! You can use a faux tree or a real one, and then you can either use Halloween ornaments or make your own.
I made my own using a Cricut, some black vinyl, and some plastic ornaments.
I made some of the ornaments using the Cricut Design Space, and I made the others using some of the free designs that Cricut has available. I love how my Halloween tree turned out!
17. Decorate with spiders
If you’re looking for an easy and inexpensive way to decorate your home for Halloween, consider adding fake spiders to your decor.
You can make this look as simple or as dramatic as you like by adding a few spiders to a vase or plant, or you can go all out and cover your entire porch in spider webs and spiders.
18. Create a Halloween vignette
Create a Halloween vignette on an entryway table or a mantel to set the mood.
A few pumpkins, a sign, and candles are all you need to make a spooky statement.
You can also add in some of your favorite Halloween decor items, like I did here with the candle holders, and fill in with pumpkins and greenery.
19. Use a Halloween blanket
Halloween decor doesn’t have to be limited to just your main living areas.
Add some spooky touches to your bedroom by swapping out your regular bedding for Halloween-themed bedding.
I found this throw blanket at Target and added it to my bed to give my room a touch of Halloween.
You could also add a Halloween pillow or two to your bed for a festive touch.
20. Add some Halloween books to your decor
If you have a bookshelf in your living room, consider adding a few Halloween books to the mix.
You can find a variety of Halloween coffee table books or even some scary novels to display.
I found this cute little book of spells at HomeGoods and it is the perfect addition to my mantel this year.
21. Create a Halloween bar
If you’re a fan of the season, you might want to go all out and create a Halloween-themed bar in your home.
This can be a great way to keep the spooky decor in one place, and it’s so fun to dress up a bar cart with all the Halloween decor you can find.
22. Add some Halloween accessories
If you’re not big on the idea of a full Halloween-themed living room, consider adding a few accessories here and there to make it feel festive without going overboard.
This could be as simple as a few pumpkins on the mantle, a Halloween-themed pillow on the couch, or a few black and white photos or prints on the wall.
Conclusion
You don’t have to spend a ton of money to have the best-decorated house on the block. These Halloween decor ideas are both affordable and fun. So, grab some candy and get ready to decorate!
