THE ULTIMATE HALLOWEEN DECOR GUIDE

Halloween isn’t just about candy - it’s about creating an immersive, spine-tingling experience that’s worthy of a magazine spotlight. Whether you’re after “chic whimsy” or “full-on haunted house,” this guide helps you deck your space in modern Halloween fashion!

Outdoor Decor: Sophisticated Spooks

  • Crisp white DIY tombstones with metallic painted names
  • Clusters of pumpkins (painted: purple, orange, metallic gold)
  • Matte black urns with bold light-up branches
  • Golden fairy lights and purple LED accents in planters

Indoor Hauntings: Layered, Luxe, Modern

  • Transparent, web-pattern table runners (over cream cloth)
  • Stacked art books with small pumpkins on top
  • Gold-rimmed glass jars with orange/purple fairy lights
  • Statement art (hang metallic or abstract bats, one large per wall)
“Lighting is the difference between ‘spooky’ and ‘editorial’—choose layered, modern drama!”

DIY Projects: Artful Craft

  • Wireframe spiderweb (gold or white wire, right wall decor)
  • Faux “wax” LEDs in thin glass—mimics editorial candle styling
  • Tissue paper pumpkin garlands in bright magazine hues
  • Chic geometric bat silhouettes using glossy black cardstock

Lighting: Statement & Subtlety

  • Gold and purple up-lights under entry steps
  • Orange filament LED bulbs in existing lamps
  • Soft white fairy lights along ceiling perimeter
  • LED “pumpkin” lights in odd-numbered groupings

Themes: Editorial Cohesion

  • Gatsby Haunt: Art deco gold, black & white pumpkins, crystal glassware
  • Editorial Witch: Velvet tablecloth, elegant cauldron, string lights on bookshelves
  • Botanical Macabre: Black vases + purple lilies with orange berries
“Halloween decor can be as editorial and curated as any fashion spread.”

Safety: Only the Treats!

  • LEDs everywhere—never mix real flame with fabrics
  • Keep cords tight, hidden, and away from walkways
  • Double-check all electrical before guests arrive
