Halloween is a time for creativity, fun, and magic. This year, why not infuse your celebrations with bright and whimsical decorations that will leave all your guests feeling inspired? By incorporating vibrant colors and playful elements, you can create a memorable Halloween experience that evokes joy and brings out the inner child in everyone.
We'll explore three fun ways to transform your space into an imaginative space, complete with pumpkins, bats, stripes, and all the Halloween decoration fun you can dream of. Let's dive in and discover how to make your celebration truly special!
Create a Seasonal Halloween Tree to Set the Scene
Our team loves turning the Christmas tree into a centerpiece that can be used all year long! A themed tree is one way to bring out your Halloween decorations and enjoy them in a reimagined way.
Utilize our four-step process and incorporate a spray topper, ribbon, Halloween-themed florals & sprays, and ornaments to get the most of your decor. Bringing in fun, bright colors is one way to make your Halloween decor cute, not scary. We recommend shopping the Christmas decor that you already have to see what you can repurpose. Black and white shatterproof? Perfect for this Halloween tree!
Create a Playful Tablescape
With your seasonal tree in place, let’s now create a whimsy tablescape. At Decorator’s Warehouse, we believe in intentional celebration and what better way to become the hostess with the mostess than hosting a Halloween get together - whether it’s pumpkin carving with the kids, an adults only dinner party or a much needed girls night?
When creating tablescapes, we like to use a layering approach-similar to how we layer our tree designs. Start by anchoring the space with a textile. Here we have chosen a black mesh spider web runner that we already had in our stash. It’s perfect for this setup.
Next add some height by placing a centerpiece right in the middle of the table. You can have a custom centerpiece made in our retail location or make your own DIY Halloween Decorations.
Finally work around the centerpiece by layering pumpkins and other decor pieces. You can shop our collection of Halloween Accents to find the perfect pieces.
Incorporate candy-inspired table settings with plates, cups, and napkins in bright, sugary colors. For table centerpieces, use pumpkin bowls filled with candy, creating vibrant and playful displays that will delight your guests.
Remember food can be a part of your tablescape too! Tasty treats that double as decor is a win all-around! Here are some of our favorites. For specific recipes, be sure to read our blog featuring fantastic Halloween party and food ideas.
Design a Spook-tack-ular Mantle
We partnered with Mariah of Giggles Galore to create this spook-tack-ular mantle design! We
love the way she kept with the bright and cute Halloween theme and brought in so many of our favorite pieces from the DW Halloween Collection while also pairing with galvanized pumpkins from our Fall Collection. This allows you to easily transition your decor to fall after the holiday is over.
Other Ways to Add To Add to Your Halloween Decor:
Create a cozy ambiance by lighting a fun and festive candle. This Macabre Candle by Monet Candle Company has a pleasant scent of tropical punch candy and is our number 1 pick for Halloween. Bonus points for the spooky design that doubles as decor.
DIY Halloween Decorations are right up our alley. This door swag will bring that fun pop of color to your front door and have all of your neighbors talking!
Let’s head outdoors! One might call me a pumpkin hoarder- and I’m ok with that (I am)! Come the first hint of a crisp fall morning, I am running to the local nursery to pick up my pumpkins and mums. If you want to take your mums to the next level, add a fun sign like these 36” Spooky or Beware Yard Stakes. Choose one style or add a pair. Even better if you pair this with a bright and cute Halloween door swag as shown above.
