People celebrate Halloween differently. Some let the holiday mostly pass them by, and others blanket the yard with so many ghosts and goblins that it’s hard for trick-or-treaters to find the path to the front door.

Most of us are somewhere in between. When October rolls around, we start setting out the black and orange decor that delights us with the festivity of the spooky season. When our friends stop by to snack on pumpkin bread and spiced beverages, it’s fun to have witches, gnomes and gnarly skeletons taking up their positions in our living rooms, kitchens and porches.

Here are some Halloween decor ideas to add some new twists to your seasonal ghoulish embellishments!

Gnomes in the Home

Gnomes are captivating little imps that can be found indoors and outdoors in any season, but they particularly like dressing up for Halloween! You might find them wearing masks or witch hats. They know they look good in orange and black, and they aren’t shy about strutting their Halloween stuff. They might be a foot tall or only a few inches. Perch them on shelves and surfaces alone or in clusters. But they’re mischievous creatures – don’t be surprised if they don’t stay where you put them!

Twisted Trees

If you have a small potted plant sitting on a shelf, give it a few weeks off and replace it with a miniature Halloween tree. These haunted hardwoods stand anywhere from eight to 15 inches tall, and they’re twice as eerie when the LEDs light up. Some are festooned with skeletons on pumpkins, and others just wiggle their weird roots and wave their bizarre branches in the air.

Pumpkins of Every Persuasion

Sure, you’ll have a jack-o-lantern on the front porch and maybe a few gourds in a kitchen bowl, but that only scratches the surface of how you can decorate with pumpkins, especially the permanent variety. There are ceramic pumpkins, woven pumpkins, even corncob pumpkins. Some of them are illuminated jack-o-lanterns. There are glass pumpkins, and black and white pumpkins. Pair them on a mantle or use them as a table centerpiece.

There’s no need to stop at pumpkins that are short and round! There are pumpkins on a hanger and pumpkins as wall art. You can spice up your room with a pumpkin candle. You can do anything with decorative pumpkins but make pie!

Witches and Their Friends

No Halloween is complete until the lady with the broomstick shows up! You can stand her on a table, or if an entire witch is a bit much, you might just display her hat or boots. Or you can make room for some of her companions. A few black and orange crows, a black cat or some menacing miniature monsters are enough to remind everyone that she’s the queen of the season, and you’ll be wise not to exclude her!

Themed Kitchen Towels

Perk up your kitchen by swapping out your generic towels for ones with a Halloween theme. Whether there’s a clever Halloween saying or just a catchy black and orange design, they’ll remind you of the fun every time you pull one off the rack. Seasonally themed table runners, mugs and dishes complete a kitchen that’s begging for a Halloween party to get started!

Spooky Pillows

One of the best way to dress up a room for any holiday season is to sub in some new accent pillows. Halloween offers plenty of choices! A staid sofa swings into the holiday mood when it’s adorned with black and orange throw pillows! Some have words of Halloween welcome, while others add witches, pumpkins, spiders and skeletons.

We’ve named only a few of the possibilities! There’s a veritable parade of Halloween decorations lining up to transform your home into a holiday party palace. Choose from signs, wall art, candy dishes, candles, candle holders, illuminated milk cans and creepy monsters of every kind.
