Follow our simple Halloween table decor tips to quickly transform your dining room into a visual feast that your guests won’t forget.

First Course: Halloween Plates

Any amazing tablescape is the result of a thoughtful layering process. Plates are the perfect foundation. We’re about authenticity, so plastic and disposable tableware were banished long ago. Stoneware Witchy Word Plates and Foliage Plates layer perfectly with our larger Black Dinner Plates. And don’t be afraid to integrate your own dinnerware into your spooky setup!

A Toast to Good Spirits

Serve party punch or your own signature Halloween cocktail in drinkware that adds its own dash of Halloween spirit. From wine glasses to mugs, thoughtful detailing gives guests just another reason to smile.

Wicked Style Now Being Served

As guests swoop into your Halloween party buffet time and time again, it just may be another eyeful of your entertaining pieces they’re seeking. Besides the obvious practicality and well executed design, it’s the clever details, the colors, and the craftsmanship that capture their attention and make these pieces as much decoration as they are functional.

Layer On the Twinkle and Shine

The scene hasn’t been fully set until the supporting players are in place. Cheers to adding  elements like pumpkins, candles, and fall greenery throughout. Small wonders help elevate Halloween dining table decor to something greater—a complete, show-stopping spectacle. In this case, they soften the look and make the entire tableau sparkle.

Additional Considerations

All the pieces we’ve discussed look stunning on a simple, solid-colored table covering. Make it an entire room setting with wall pieces from the same color palette and an array of finishes. Explore our full selection of indoor Halloween decor for all the finishing touches you need.
