Halloween Decorating

ByLynne Greene Interiors

Here are some Halloween decoration ideas — from spooky to stylish — depending on the vibe you want for your home:

Classic & Fun Halloween

  • Pumpkin display: Mix carved and painted pumpkins on your porch or entryway.
  • String lights: Orange, purple, or flickering LED candles for a warm, festive glow.
  • Spiderwebs: Stretch faux cobwebs across mirrors, banisters, or bushes.
  • Skeleton greeters: Pose life-sized skeletons in chairs or climbing your house exterior.

Elegant & Moody Halloween

  • Black and white palette: Use matte black pumpkins, white candles, and sheer black drapes.
  • Vintage touches: Add antique candelabras, apothecary jars, or old books for a gothic vibe.
  • Ravens and candles: Perch faux ravens on mantelpieces and scatter pillar candles for drama.
  • Floral elements: Dark blooms (like deep burgundy roses) mixed with dried branches.

Outdoor Curb Appeal

  • Graveyard scene: Styrofoam tombstones, fog machine, and flickering lanterns.
  • Lighting: Spotlights in orange, green, or purple for eerie effects.
  • Front door focus: Hang a spooky wreath (made from twigs, black ribbon, and small skulls).
  • Animated decor: Motion-activated witches, ghosts, or howling sounds for trick-or-treat night.

DIY & Budget-Friendly Ideas

  • Cut paper bats and tape them flying across walls.
  • Use black cheesecloth or torn fabric as ghostly table runners.
  • Fill glass jars with colored water and fake bugs for a “mad scientist” look.
  • Make ghost lanterns by wrapping string lights inside white fabric-covered balloons.
