Spooky-Cute Halloween Decor

SeasonalHomemaking

Sep 17

Halloween has never really been my holiday. (I know, gasp.) I’m much more of a cozy-autumn girl who loves pumpkins on the porch, simmer pots on the stove, and anticipating the Christmas season. But when you’re raising boys who absolutely light up over the spooky side of October, you find a rhythm that works, bringing in those little touches of magic while still keeping your home feeling intentional, elevated, and true to your everyday style.

Elevated, Whimsical, & A Little Moody Style

Faux Florals || Vintage Lamp || Ghost Light || Cauldron || Moody Floral Tray || Black Pumpkin Candle || Glass Pumpkin || Black Candlesticks || Electric Taper Candles || Spider Tray || Skeleton Keys || Bat Decor

For me, that looks like leaning into pieces that have a whimsical, moody, slightly gothic vibe (15 year old, White Zombie listening me, would be into this…) without being over-the-top “Halloween aisle plastic knick-knack-y”

I love plaid and moody floral pillows you can keep out all fall, brass candlesticks that work for both October nights and holiday tablescapes, a set of ghost lights to just bring that fun in the kids love, and of course, a little cauldron or two. (Because even though I am not full on Halloween, I am all for a witchy vibe)

I always like to balance these accent pieces with the things that matter most in our home: the kids’ Halloween art and crafts, while still keeping those vintage, neutral autumn decor touches. That way, my boys get the thrill of Halloween, and I still feel like our home looks and feels like us.

This year, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite “spooky cute” finds that play well with traditional fall decor and can be brought out year after year without feeling tired or overwhelming. You’ll find everything from Halloween puzzles for family nights to glassware that gives the Halloween, but in a fun way that naturally flows in the home + just the right amount of whimsy.
