Halloween Wreath

Of course, it’s safe to say that the centrepiece of your house, the front door, deserves just as much attention as your living space. After all, your door decoration will be the first thing trick or treaters, or party guests will see when they arrive at your home this Halloween.

Serve up spooky vibes with an all-black wreath, which wouldn’t normally be considered very welcoming, but during this festive season, it couldn’t be more fitting. You could also create a faux spiderweb wreath, crawling in spiders, to achieve the ultimate Halloween aesthetic.

Festive wreaths will always be a top trend throughout autumn and winter, but now more than ever, people are looking for new and exciting ways to bring a touch of Halloween to their homes, with searches on Pinterest for ‘Halloween wreaths’ increasing by 4350% since July.

Candelabra

If you’re looking for something gothic, a silver candelabra is the perfect choice. Not only does it look gorgeous, but you can also fill it with candles for a spooky glow come nightfall.

Floating Hats

Instantly add some witchery to your space with a collection of floating witch hats. This is a great way to add some magic to your home if you’re hosting your own Halloween party.

All you have to do is purchase inexpensive traditional black witch hats, tie some string onto them and using removable tape, attach them to the ceiling in your home, or outside on your porch, or you can even hang them from a tree for trick-or-treaters to enjoy.

For an extra touch of spookiness, pick up some cheap battery operated lights, and place them inside of the hats for a magical effect once it’s dark outside.

Witchcore

Witchcore is the aesthetic that draws inspiration from aspects of witchcraft and relies heavily on bringing nature into your home. Halloween is the perfect time to embrace the trend, as it provides plenty of inspiration for making your home more ‘spooktacular’, mixing witch themes and dark colours with nature-inspired furniture and accessories.

Creating the look is really fun, easy to do and can be achieved by displaying dried herbs and flowers, potted plants, crystals, potion bottles, spell books, skulls or even crystal balls. Over the last year, searches for the interior trend have increased by 203% on Pinterest, proving Witchcore will be a hot feature in homes this Halloween.

Halloween Trees

If you are searching for a ghoulishly good decorative statement for your living space this Halloween, then a festive tree is the ultimate feature in your home. A Halloween tree is effectively a Christmas tree decorated with spooky ornaments, such as skulls, ghosts, spiders, pumpkins, zombies, witches hats and other novelty Halloween items.

Bat Wall

For a truly spooky piece of Halloween decor, a bat wall is guaranteed to bring a spooky atmosphere to your home. This statement wall feature is easy to make, and affordable, just create a bat template and cut out the design on black card and glitter paper. Use a ruler to make a fold along the bat to replicate a 3D wing effect.

Once complete, attach them to the wall in a randomly scattered fashion. For more definition, you can create the bats in multiple sizes, which will achieve a more dimensional effect, while still being simple to create.

Pillar Candles

Pillar candles are great for ambience around the house during Halloween. Not only will they instantly add a touch of eeriness to your home decor, but they also bring the smell of autumn into your space. Besides, you can’t host a spooky Halloween party without a small scattering of candles, as the flickering flames will help to create an alluring atmosphere.

Opt for warm, woody and spice tones, such as pumpkin, apple, maple, caramel or bourbon, to set the tone of your ‘spooktacular’ day.

Spooky Shelfie

Another Halloween home decor trend that’s gaining a lot of popularity is the ‘spooky shelfie’. If you follow home interior social media accounts, you will be familiar with the shelfie trend, which is when you capture staged photos of your shelves stacked with beauty products, books and knick-knacks. This hot trend is becoming the main feature on interior posts this Halloween.

Consider trawling eBay and other resale sites for vintage Halloween decor you can display. You can add pastel pumpkins, skeletons, and knick-knacks for a modern retro look. When it comes to selfies, there is no right or wrong way of doing things, just try to coordinate the shelves and the decor you place with the furniture in your room.

Black Pumpkin

This year is the year of black pumpkins, the chic response of the traditional staple is rustic, modern and will be the perfect festive feature in every style of home.
