How To Decorate for Halloween – 5 Halloween Decor Tips

Have you been trying to figure out how to decorate for Halloween without letting skeletons and bats overpower the rest of your home?

 

There are multiple ways to decorate with spooky decor in an elevated way that will create that Halloween feeling you’re looking for.

 

Today, I’ll be sharing 5 Halloween Decor Tips that make decorating for the season simple and easy.

 

Identify your color palette

Whether you’re sticking to traditional Halloween colors or shooting for a more minimal, muted color scheme, it’s important to establish a color palette from the beginning.

 

 

Once you’ve chosen your color palette, use it as a sort of shopping guide.

 

Shopping to a color palette will help you keep your thoughts organized as well as not spend money on items that don’t fit your vision for your space.

 

 

Arrange faux pumpkins in groups or bunches

When placing decor pumpkins, try not to scatter them all over the house in singles. 

 

Instead, place them together and create an impactful moment that screams spooky but stylish.

 

 

Placing pumpkins in groups will elevate your space by offering a curated look.

 

Include all sizes of pumpkins and style them, changing their placement and rearranging them, until you’re content with your vignette.

Black faux arrangements

Do you have a faux arrangement that’s made it to the back of the shelf and been completely forgotten?

 

Let it have another moment to shine! 

 

 

Spray paint it black and use it to style a console table, a book shelf, etc.,

 

Painting a faux arrangement you already own will create a one-of-a-kind piece that you can store and use every year.

 

Whether you’re DIY’ng a black faux arrangement or purchasing an already made piece, incorporating this detail into your decor will immediately elevate the space.

 

 

Here are some ready-made black faux stems that would look great in a spooky vignette.

Frame Spooky Prints

I personally love this idea and have seen it grow over the years.

 

If you have photos hanging on the wall or sitting on shelves in picture frames, swap out those photos for spooky ones.

 

 

(Don’t worry, you can put your original photos back once the season is over)

 

Swapping out your prints is a cheap way to add an extra layer to your spooky decor.

 

 

There are some amazing, affordable prints on ETSY that can easily be printed out and used to enhance the spooky feeling in your home.

 

Simply download them, put them in a drive, and take them down to your local CVS or print shop. 

 

Print sizes that fit the frames you already own and watch your spooky space transform.

Spooky candles & candle holders

Candles and candle holders are making a huge comeback in the design world. 

 

 

Use this season to bring some candle holders back into your home. 

 

Style them with dark candles that compliment your color palette and enjoy the addition of a warm ambience. 

 

Candles can easily be styled on a console table in your entryway.
