HALLOWEEN DECORATING IDEAS

1. FLOATING HATS

We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous entryway decor. Attach hats and flameless candles to your ceiling using clear string.

You can also take a look at this tutorial for creating floating hats. This gives the space a very ominous feel but it still looks amazing.

2. TRANSFER COOKIES TO A GLASS CANISTER

If you’re looking for budget-friendly Halloween decorating ideas, this is the one for you. Buy Oreos that have orange filling and place them neatly in a large, glass canister.

You can top it off with a skeleton head for the easiest Halloween decor.

3. HALLOWEEN COFFEE BAR

As someone who loves coffee and cannot function without it, I will definitely be recreating this idea for the upcoming spooky season.

To recreate this, get a wooden board, a mini skeleton, and some cute Halloween-inspired mugs and bowls.

Now just place all of your coffee essentials neatly on the board. This is a great way to add some festive decor to your kitchen without going too overboard.

4. HANG A WITCH’S BROOM

This is another super easy Halloween decor idea you can recreate no matter the size of your home. Just buy a witch’s broom and hang it up on your wall.

You can add this decoration to any space in your home. Also, add some creepy spiders beside it to complete the look.

5. HALLOWEEN ENTRYWAY

If you’re looking for some cute and creepy Halloween entryway decorating ideas then this one is perfect! You can add some bats to your mirror and onto the wall and a creepy spider web is always a nice touch.

Finish it off with “BOO” balloons and some spiders.

6. FRONT DOOR DECOR

Decorating your front door for Halloween has never been easier. Just get some cardboard and cut them into long, rectangular pieces like above.

First, write down “Keep Out” on the cardboard with paint and make sure to make it appear as though it’s dripping.

Then, place the black spider web on the door and secure the cardboard onto the wall. Add some flying bats for the final touch.

7. BUY A CERAMIC GHOST

Want to decorate for Halloween but with zero effort?

No problem there, just buy a ceramic ghost figurine from Amazon and add it to any space where you want to add a touch of spooky vibes.

8. FRONT PORCH IDEA

I especially love decorating my front porch. There are so many ways to decorate and let your creativity shine through. But, the one above is definitely going on my top 3 list.

Buy a couple of skeletons, place them on the chairs, and make them look like they are waving. You can also add some floating hats and a few painted pumpkins to complete the look.

9. HALLOWEEN COFFEE TABLE

If you want to redecorate your living room coffee table for the spooky season but don’t want to go overboard with all the colors, then consider trying this.

Get a tray and place a bunch of mini skeletons there, add some black candle holders along with a potion bottle to finish the look.

This is great if you want to have something subtle and neutral.

10. DIY PORCH PUMPKIN STACK

If you are a DIY queen and have some free time on your hands, then you need to recreate this! Buy a few plastic pumpkin buckets.

Remove the handles and paint them to make it look like the above or however, you want. Then just place some fall stems inside to create a stunning pumpkin stack.

11. HALLOWEEN STAIRCASE

The stairs are often times overlooked when decorating. Show them some love this season and recreate this idea. Wrap some orange-colored lights around the railing and add some bats on the walls.

This takes literally zero effort and is insanely cheap.

12. HALLOWEEN FRONT ENTRYWAY

Here is another insanely cute Halloween porch decorating idea. Orange is one of the most popular colors for Halloween so make sure to include a lot of that everywhere.

Add in some ghosts and mix in some white pumpkins to complete the look.

13. HALLOWEEN BAR CART

If you’re going to recreate only one thing from this list, let it be this. I love bar carts because you can change up the look of it an infinite amount of times. The one above is perfect for Halloween.

Include some candies, drinks, straws, and a few spooky decorations. This is also great for parties or just as a cute place to pour yourself a drink.

14. HALLOWEEN MANTEL

Where do guests go when they first enter the home? The living room right? So, make sure you’re living room is ready for the spooky season and decorate your mantel.

You can buy Halloween-themed garlands, spiderwebs, flying bats, and of course some mini pumpkins.

15. HALLOWEEN TIERED TRAY

If you hate redecorating your home but still want to show a little festive spirit, then this tiered tray idea is what you need to recreate.

It’s super easy to make, you can change it up hundreds of times without disrupting anything, and it looks amazing as a centerpiece for any space in your home.

Include some spiders, Rae Dunn, skeletons, witch’s legs, and a few spooky signs to top it off.

16. ELEGANT HALLOWEEN DECOR

I have never seen something so pretty! If you want something super chic, elegant, and pretty, this is the one for you!

Buy gold and white decor for your home. Things like skeletons, candles, faux stems, and bats are amazing for decorating. This idea will work for any aesthetic your home has.

17. KITCHEN COUNTER DECOR

If you’re looking for Halloween decor for your kitchen counter, you need to give this a try. Grab a woven tray and place a skeleton, beaded garland, “potions” book, and a spooky menu.

This is not only super easy to DIY but also a great way to add a festive touch in your kitchen.

18. INFLATABLE BATS AND GHOSTS

Inflatable bats and ghosts are another great way to decorate your front door or any space in your home. You can get them on Amazon, Etsy, or Walmart for super cheap.

Make sure to add some other decorations like mini pumpkins and bats so it doesn’t look undone.

19. HALLOWEEN BATHROOM DECOR

Most people actually don’t decorate their bathrooms for Halloween besides switching out the candles. But I honestly think they should start because OMG, look at the one above.

It’s not over the top festive but it still looks insanely good. Simply add some flying bats to the walls, faux black stems, and a skeleton to complete the look.

20. ADD A PICTURE

You’d be surprised by how much a simple picture or painting can change the appearance of a space.

For example, the inspo above has a picture and it is stunning. If you were to take that away, I feel the space would look empty and undone even though there are plenty of decorations surrounding it.

So do yourself a favor and buy a cute Halloween-themed picture/painting and hang it up on an empty wall. It doesn’t have to be expensive, you could probably get one for less than 20 bucks!

21. INCLUDE BLACK CROWS

Black crows are another insanely popular decor choice and the great thing about them is they are super affordable.

You can add them to any space, indoors or outdoors and it’ll still look amazing.

22. SPIDER GARLAND

Garlands are great for any season but these spider garlands in particular are a great addition for Halloween.

Include some faux stems, mini pumpkins, and spooky figurines to complete the look.

23. BAT INSIDE GLASS CLOCHES

How incredibly cute are these bat glass cloches? They are the perfect DIY for when you have a little extra free time on your hands.

Just buy some flying bats and secure them in place inside the glass cloches. Create multiple of these for the perfect centerpiece idea. Here is the full tutorial.

24. TERRACOTTA PUMPKINS

Don’t lie, how many of you thought these were from Pottery Barn? I admit, I was fooled too when I first came across these.

We’ve all seen the viral terracotta pumpkins from Pottery Barn along with the huge price tag.

These ones look just as good if not better and you can make them for a fraction of the price. Take a look at the full tutorial here.

27. SKULL VASE

Just buy a skull vase and add some flowers with pops of orange to complete the look. I found this beautiful one from Pottery Barn.

28. DINING ROOM DECOR

The dining room is another great place to add some Halloween decorations. You can incorporate spider webs as a table runner, add some faux black stems, and buy some orange and black plaid napkins to top it off.

I also love the hanging skeleton on the chandelier.

29. HALLOWEEN LIVING ROOM

I know you may not want a very bright or flashy decor for your living room. Which is why this is perfect! Add some flying bats, a Halloween picture, some mini pumpkins, and black candles.

It’s very aesthetic and easy to recreate.
