Ideas for halloween Decor for Porches

The front porch is the perfect spot to infuse festive Halloween decor. It’s the first spot to greet guests with cheery decor. 

Tiffany at MyDIYHappyHome has created a jovial Halloween display on her front porch. The posed skeletons feel like they’re your friends and you want to come sit a spell with them. 

For more inspiration and DIY check out her blog.

Doesn’t this porch just scream Halloween! The chippy paint, layers of vintage pieces and smoking cauldron all add to the eerie feel.

If you love thrift store finds, and creative upcycling then you’ll want to take a look at the Junk Hunks feed!

Take a minute to really look at all of the details here. There are candelabras layered through out the scene and check out that wreath on the door!

rch design from Lidia at LKDsign is absolutely adorable! Visitors are greeted with colorful pumpkins, pillows, flowers and the adorable Ghost luminaries.

This beautiful southern porch is something dreams are made of. It is huge and so inviting.

Joanna at Southern Surroundings has created this fun and whimsical porch for Halloween. It is festive without all of the Halloween gore.

Ideas for Halloween Decor in the Entryway

The entryway is an ideal spot for more Halloween decor. Cindy at Farmhouse on Chestnut has styled a playful Halloween entry. The bold black and white color scheme and the flock of bats add just the perfect touch.

Ok, this idea for Halloween decor would probably freak me out! I hate mice! 

Elizabeth at That House on Meadowfarm has created a lively display on her stairs with mice decals. This is super easy to do, with minimal cost as well. Something that anyone could do.

When I first saw Alex’s Halloween display at Our Little White Bungalow I felt like I was peering into an old movie. The cat perched on the throw, the glow of the candles and the witch belongings propped against the wall create a ghostly feel. 

These Halloween decor ideas are easy to pull together and yet so effective.

Black lace draped on a chest, topped with potion bottles and a caged raven are eerie Halloween decor ideas. But, what about that mummy?! Isn’t he fantastic!

Next year for sure I need to add a mummy to my Halloween decorations. Thanks to Jenna at Jenna_design for this inspiration! 

Take a look at Jenna’s feed it’s full of holiday inspiration!

Indiana Bones as Kaycie from Grey Birch Designs calls him, helps decorate for his favorite holiday! 🤣

There is so much to love here. The traditional black, white and a hint of orange immediacy feel festive. You gotta love the huge Halloween sign too. 

Kaycie’s blog is also full of so many great ideas.

Halloween Decor Ideas for the Mantle

How creative is this! I would totally stuff my fire box with bones if it wasn’t a gas fireplace. This design is from Oscar at Oscar Bravo Home. 

The skeleton garland that drapes over the mantle is so clever. I’m definitely taking note of this for next years Halloween decor.

If you love the look of a classic traditional home, then take a look at Oscar’s blog. His home is stunning!

OMG! How cute are these Halloween decor ideas?! 

I love the layers of Halloween art on the mantle along with the bundles of black twigs.

And who wouldn’t love Scarilyn Monroe as Bethany at Shiplap addict so affectionately calls her.  Clearly this family loves Halloween!

Randi at Randi Garret Design has styled a classy and traditional mantle.

I love the mixture of pumpkins, from metallic to white, intermixed with a feathery black garland. The bead swags and black ravens top off this classic look.

Even more Halloween Mantles…

Don’t you just want to cozy up by the fire and enjoy these amazing Halloween decor ideas from Ashley at Modern Glam Home?  

The glow of the candles and lights set the tone for this Halloween display. I love that spider garland along with the variety of Halloween tchotchkes carefully placed on the mantle.

Loving the bat mantle cloth, vintage window along with the one of a kind Halloween art.

Ideas for Halloween Decor For The Dining Table

Halloween is for parties! I can think of no better way to celebrate than to throw a Halloween themed dinner party. 

Susan at Table for 5 Please has styled a festive tablescape for her dinner guests. 

Check out all the layers here at each place setting. And what could be more fitting as a centerpiece than a black and white pot filled with pumpkins?!

This tablescape is definitely a feast for the eyes. So many great ideas for Halloween decor here.

Do you want to host a party? But you don’t have Halloween tableware. Take a look at this table from Jenn at Motherthyme.

The tableware is not Halloween specific, but works beautifully here by layering in mini cauldrons, a spider web runner, black candlesticks, black twigs and pumpkins.

Lots of ideas you can use here for your own Halloween inspired table.

How fun is this table from Lindsey at Lindsey K Jones?! 

Obviously she has a great room to start with. The rock wall is amazing! However, the simplicity here is stunning.

Lindsey stacked plates on a natural placemat and simply added 3 black candelabras as the centerpiece. Simple, easy and oh so beautiful.

Even more Halloween Tablescapes…

Yes, Scarilyn Monroe has made a reappearance at Bethany’s home.

I have a thing for classic black and white design, so this really appeals to me. 

Doesn’t this look like a happy haunting bunch, you’d like to invite to your next soiree?

Gotta love Bethany’s sense of humor. She’s also got so many great ideas over on her blog. Check it out!

More great ideas for Halloween decor from April at Homestead City Dwelling.

Love, love, love the layers in April’s centerpiece. Anyone can so this by collecting a variety of Halloween themed or colored decor pieces and arranging them down the center of the table at varying heights.

Not only are the decor pieces layered in, but also she has used 3 layers of table runners as well. She has created a truly unique Halloween tablescape.

OMG you must go see Daph’s at MrsDecorLover IG feed. She really has a talent for creating a beautiful buffet table.

Just look at this gorgeous Halloween vignette. The food is so artfully displayed, along with skulls and bones artistically placed. 

Tiered Trays Styled with halloween Decor

Tiered trays have to be one of my favorite ways to display decor for any holiday. 

Sharon at CorbelCottage has styled an original and entertaining display with ideas for Halloween decor from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Oh, I wish I had this a couple of years ago, when the theme for my Halloween party was Nightmare Before Christmas.

Here is another tray from Sharon, with so many ideas for styling that Halloween decor.
