Read on to discover 11 ideas to makeover your home this season:
1. Golden shades
Create a gorgeous display in your kitchen with all the rich golden tones of autumn. This decor detailing is all about texture; combining woven baskets, wooden boards, and soft fabric creates an elegant base for your decorations. Try adding crispy leaves from the garden and soft flickering candles; complete the look with golden metallic pumpkins.
2. Banquet in style
Wrap up warm and host a Halloween event to remember in your backyard. This simple but spectacular tablescape embraces the traditional wood look of a picnic bench to create an aesthetic that is both rustic and elegant. Scatter glass-bound tea lights and candlesticks down the center of your table and complement with colorful autumnal leaves and mini pumpkins. Finish by placing a witches hat on each plate and stringing plenty of twinkly fairy lights through the trees.
3. Gothic granduer
We’re jealous of anyone who has a fireplace, as it’s the perfect place for your autumnal decor. This spooky but elegant corner combines a simple skull decoration with dark ceramics and dried flowers to create a striking focal point.
4. Soft but spooky
So simple but effective! Throw a soft, fluffy blanket over your sofa to instantly add a little seasonal cheer. This cozy idea is also practical and makes staying in all the more attractive. You could even add color-coordinated cushions to complete the look.
5. Haunted hallway
We’re calling this the haunted hallway, but these elements would look fabulous in any living room. This aesthetic idea makes full use of the space, hanging witches’ hats from the ceiling and drawing the eye to the floor with beautifully curated pumpkins, candles, and a sprinkle of leaves. Make sure to connect the floor and ceiling with tall, vibrant dried flower displays – simply breathtaking.
6. Skull glam
These metallic polished skulls amp up the glamour. Another simple idea that’s super effective: all you need to do is place your skulls next to your usual coffee table books to create your spooky display. These ornaments look great against fluffy, natural dried grass, and a single black plastic spider is the perfect finishing touch.
7. Ghostie blooms
A cute ghost vase is a great way to display your seasonal blooms. Visit your florist and select vibrant shades of orange and cream to create all the autumn feels. A few scattered baby pumpkins also look great on the tabletop.
8. CLASSIC JACK O
What Halloween decor is complete without a softly glowing Jack-o-lantern? We love the idea of displaying a trio of spooky pumpkins. Use various sizes and line them up to welcome guests to your very own haunted house. Hate the mess of coring and cutting? You can buy plastic ones complete with electric tealights on Amazon – cheating, yes, but we won’t tell…
9.Autumn dresser
If you’re lucky enough to have space dedicated to displaying crockery and oddities, it’s so easy to give it a quick seasonal update with some wooden pumpkins. These white wooden decorations are worlds away from creepy jack-o-lanterns but still give off serious autumn vibes.
10. Day of the flowers
We love the use of this skull vase to display vibrant red, orange, and burgundy blooms. Get your vase online and support your local florist – they will have the best choice when it comes to seasonal flowers.
11. Totally raven
Why is a raven like a writing desk? We love the idea of using ravens to create a gothic accent in your home. These black birds stand in flossy cobwebs around a skull centerpiece (easily recreated with an ornament and a cake stand). Black candles complete the look – it’s Halloween perfection!
