Want to cause a strikingly spirited and stylish scene, but afraid you don’t know how to decorate for Halloween? Rest easy. Whether it’s an entryway, buffet, or mantel that has you hexed, here are some great indoor Halloween decoration ideas for throughout your home.
Party guests will be thoroughly entranced in no time.
How to Create a Darkly Divine Entryway
1. Go for a ghostly centerpiece
Who better than a ghostly white butler to greet you at the door? With candelabra in hand, he centers the space.
2. Fill in space with creepy tabletop decor or wall art
Think antique-look vases, Halloween floral stems, or a hat. And wall art can be an easy swap-out with an existing, everyday piece.
3. Light it up with candles… and more candles
Candlelight, whether from a real wax candle or a completely safe battery-operated flame, sets the mood like nothing else.
How to Serve Guests a Decadent Dinnerscape
1. Begin with blooms
Find bold florals in wickedly rich colors—and faux means no mess or wilting. What’s not eerily appealing about that?
2. Layer seasonal tableware
Layer in plates, glassware, and serving pieces to add depth to your tablescape design (decorator’s secret).
3. Choose a common table theme
Whether you love skeletons or spiders, everyone gets a taste of your dinnerscape at their personal place setting with themed decor and tableware.
4. Incorporate pumpkins, of course
Perfect for preventing the setting from becoming too scary. Try natural shapes in unique colors or metallics. Dig in.
How to Create Mantel Magic
1. Start with a mantel scarf
Bats make a naturally scalloped border… and a mantel scarf creates a connecting component for the accents that rest on it.
2. Center the scene with a cheerful wreath
Natural elements give your display dimension. A bow that adds color ties in other elements in the room. Choose big-and-bold to center your entire room. What’s your style?
3. Weave in garland to fill space with spook
A full length of leafy garland fills empty holes and gives your display volume.
4. Pop with personal touches
Add colorful pumpkins, battery-operated candles, or even old books. It’s so easy and satisfying to add in elements that are “so you.”
Presto. Now you have some frightfully inspired indoor Halloween decoration ideas in your bag of tricks. Once you finish your scene, snap a quick pic and share it on Instagram with #grandinroad to show us how you decorate your house for Halloween.
