Halloween is all about weird costumes, haunted houses and spooky decors. But what do you do when you run out of decoration ideas? You start surfing the Internet in hope of finding something really special. To make sure that you will find at least one idea that you love, we created a big gallery with pictures of inspiring interior decors for Halloween. Enjoy!
1. Eerie centerpiece
Several tea-dyed eggs and a few plastic centipedes would make the perfect centerpiece for a creepy Halloween dinner table.
2. Shrunken apple faces
These grotesque heads are made from peeled, carved and then dried apples. As the fruit dries, the “sculpture” gets wrinkled and witch-like.
3. Glittered pumpkins
Choose your favorite glittering colors and turn some small pumpkins into beautiful ornaments for a magical (not frightening) Halloween.
4. Glowing skulls
Papier-mâché glowing faces are easy to make even at home. If you like decorating your house on your own, you can choose doing so with eerie paper skulls.
5. Halloween trees
Trees are usually decorated only on Christmas, but Halloween too can be a good holiday for tree decorations! You can even use small personalized treat bags as decorations and presents for your guests.
6. Orange, black and white tablecloth
Every single detail in your home must reflect the Halloween spirit, including the tablecloth. Make sure it boasts the classic Halloween colors: orange, black, white or red.
7. Jar-o-lanterns
Your empty jars can be given a new purpose: they can become funny “jar-o-lanterns” in just a matter of minutes. Paint them orange and draw black grimacing faces afterwards.
8. A colony of bats
Since they are not real, you can buy (or make) as many of them as you want! This could be your only chance to be surrounded by huge, dark bats and not feel afraid at all!
9. Specimen-jar candles
Candles are a must for every Halloween, but they should never be plain or romantic. For a gloomy ambiance, you need some really special candles, like spooky specimen-jar ones.
10. Thematic lampshades
A small detail like a morbid face on a lampshade can have a very powerful effect on your guests…especially if they turn on the light themselves!
11. Dark shadows
Prop fierce silhouettes above candles to obtain creepy moving shadows on your walls. The idea is simple, but the effect is grand!
12. Jack-o-clock
A haunting face on the clock will constantly remind your guests of all the scary stories about the things that happen after midnight!
13. Handmade pumpkins
If real pumpkins no longer do the trick for you, try making artificial ones yourself. You can choose your favorite materials and finishes and you can make them together with your kids.
14. Horror candles
A little red candle wax dripped over plain white candles will surely give your guests the creeps. The resemblance with blood can be striking.
15. Dark paper curtains
Since they are made of paper, they can be given any shape. Bats, rats, witches, spiders … they are all good ideas. The paper must necessarily be black.
16. String spider webs
Anyone can very easily create a large string spider web in a poorly lit corner. Add one or two plastic spiders to the decor and place one of your guest’s chair right in that spot!
17. Pumpkin baskets
Who sais pumpkins can only be used for Jack-o-lanterns? Another imaginative way to use them is to transform them in orange baskets for fall flower arrangements.
18. Cobweb on the mantelpiece
You’ve probably already placed a couple of gothic candlesticks and tall candles on your mantelpiece. Now all you need to do is add a cheesecloth and some spiders too for a complete creepy scene.19. Pumpkin lantern
A small pumpkin can be used in many ways on Halloween. But did it ever occur to you it can me a perfect lantern base too?
20. Glow-in-the-dark pumpkins
How about swapping the classic carved pumpkin head with a glow-in-the-dark faux pumpkin? We bet children will love the idea!
21. Crepe-paper curtains
You’ll be surprised at how big a difference a crepe-paper curtain can make! Simple and inexpensive, this decor element has a stronger impact if the paper is black.
22. Leaves and tendrils
For a more natural effect, you can complete your table or mantelpiece decor with (real or artificial) pumpkin leaves and tendrils.
23. Coffin table
You just have to love this idea! There is nothing spookier than a glass of red wine (resembling blood) on a coffin table. If you also cover the rest of the furniture with white sheets, your guests may not even want to come in!
24. Spooky specimens in jars
When dried, cockscomb flowers look like brains. Use between 6 and 8 stems for each “brain” and glue them together carefully. Place them in glass jars to look like real specimens.
25. Cobweb on the flower arrangement
The contrast between delicate flowers and creepy cobwebs is very unsettling. You can make the cobweb yourself from a white panty hose. Cut it and pull it apart to obtain a very realistic result.
26. Candy jars
Simple treats suddenly become more tempting when placed in glass jars with cheerful labels. Kids will immediately want to thrust their hands inside for the delicious candy!
27. Shadowy centerpiece
Use numerous plastic insects and to decorate an otherwise beautiful autumn centerpiece. When your guests will notice the cockroaches and giant flies on the table, you’ll definitely get a reaction.
28. Vellum table lanterns
A perfect alternative to classic candleholders are some creepy table lanterns showing dark silhouettes. They will not give enough light to fully illuminate a room, which is exactly what you want on Halloween!
29. Silhouette curtains
It won’t be difficult to convince kids that your house is haunted if you hang creepy silhouette curtains at your windows! Don’t forget to leave the lights on for a guaranteed spooky effect.
30. Glitter decorations
A simple object like a candleholder can become fun and special in just a couple of minutes. All you need is some glitter, glue and, obviously, a few candleholders!
31. More specimen jars
With a little imagination and the right ingredients, you can obtain the most realistic specimen jars ever! Your guests will be afraid to ask what they really are!
32. Candy wreath
A candy wreath like this will attract all the kids in the neighborhood to your door! So, if you have several tons of candy to give away, you can feel free to hang one such wreath on your door this Halloween.
33. Talking pumpkin head
If you feel a simple Jack-o-lantern is no longer scary enough, you can add some extra spookiness by introducing a baby monitor in the carved pumpkin. You can then make it talk every time a guests approaches it.
34. Pumpkin candy bowl
Your favorite candy bowl got broken last time you used it? No problem! You can carve a new, personalized bowl from a large pumpkin!
35. Mini pumpkin centerpiece
You bought too many small pumpkins? Well, you can use the ones that are not currently working as lamp bases, to make beautiful centerpieces for a memorable Halloween dinner.
36. Pumpkin vase
We’ve already seen pumpkin lamps and pumpkin bowls, so why not a pumpkin vase too? You can choose a pumpkin of any size for this.
37. Pumpkin votives
Yes, there is one more way you can use small pumpkins! When the night falls, pumpkin votives will prove very useful, especially if placed on the stairway!
38. Paper rats
Having your house invaded by rats is a real nightmare, but when the rats are made of paper, the “invasion” becomes fun and exciting! Though your guests might not enjoy it as much.
