We’ve consulted the crystal ball and we've come up with some spooky and fang-tastic Halloween home décor ideas. Find out what they had to say so you can decorate your home with Halloween style – pumpkins and all.
Don’t be afraid to stray from traditional black and orange. Switch it up and add unique colors to black décor, like pink or teal, for a fresh Halloween look. Adding more traditional decorations like skulls, spiderwebs, and pumpkins keeps things spooky and on theme.
And choose colors that may surprise you. Think outside the box when it comes to color schemes and home décor. Incorporate modern colors into your Halloween décor for a sleek, updated look.
Pumpkins are always a classic. When it comes to Halloween décor, don’t underestimate the power of pumpkins and black accents mixed with your everyday neutrals. Shop your home first to see if there is anything you could give a black spray paint makeover, then see what else you can buy for affordable seasonal accent pieces.
Keep it simple and stick with a theme. If you love to entertain, you'll love to decorate your kitchen/dining area for Halloween. Stick to the “Keep it Simple” philosophy, so you might use some themed pieces such as witches or ghosts, along with garlands of leaves or cranberries and dried apples. Top it off with Pumpkin Family hand-painted glassware, usually to enjoy some mulled wine and hot apple cider with friends.
And go all out on that theme. When it comes to Halloween, we love to go all out. Whether it’s spooky or neutral décor, we recommend picking a theme and running with it. When decorating for Autumn, we also suggest using a mixture of faux and real pumpkins along with dried stems to perfect the look.
Decorate with what you already own. A great way to easily decorate your home for Halloween is to use something around the house. This darling Halloween wreath is made completely of jam jar rings that were hiding in the back of a junk drawer.
And bonus points if you make your wreath extra spooky. Welcome people to your home in the creepiest way possible by decorating a wreath to hang on your door filled with rats and spiders. This is such an easy craft to make, and is a great way to put some fear into your trick or treaters, not to mention your Hungry Monkey guy.
And don’t forget to decorate your home office. Due to the pandemic, 2020 quickly became the year of remote work. Now in 2024, working from home is a lot more commonplace for many businesses, so it’s no surprise there’s growing interest in home office décor. Deck out your home office in Halloween décor to help get you into the spooky spirit.
Make your mantle stand out this Halloween. We love Halloween home décor that centers around a mantle. They’re great focal points in a room and offer a lot of different heights and textures to play with. Unfortunately, many in Gibraltar won't have a mantlepiece but could use the TV as the focal point. Our best tip for having a big impact in this space is to pick a single, large element to start your décor and build out from it.
Incorporate scented candles into your décor to make your spooky setting more authentic. To create a gothic vibe, top basic black candle holders with scented white pillars that have a foggy, woodsy scent. Or, if you prefer a Halloween that reminds you of childhood nostalgia.
Group themed items for a visual impact. Decorating for Halloween doesn’t have to mean covering your house in tacky, bright orange and black plastic junk. A well-placed murder of crows, painted pumpkins, serving bowls filled with skulls and bones, a colony of bats flying up your living room wall—try grouping Halloween props together to create a visual impact and a sense of whimsy.
Whatever you're doing for Halloween in Gibraltar this year, we hope you have a truley terrifying time!
