Chic Halloween Home and Kitchen Decor

It's hard to believe the fall season is here! Autumn is a great reminder that when life starts over, new beginnings are ahead. Decorating this year felt special. I wanted to keep a neutral Halloween theme throughout the home while maintaining a light and airy feel. Of course, what's Halloween without a few ghosts and skeletons?

Crafting a stylish Halloween mantel doesn't have to be complicated. I started with a neutral palette, perfect for a chic and spooky look. I added a couple of skeletons, a few brass taper candle holders with a mix of clear crystal votives, and some ceramic white pumpkins to set the scene. The warm glow of the candles creates a romantic, eerie ambiance, but for a flame-free option, you could use battery-operated candles instead.

I've found that investing in timeless pieces, like these neutral pumpkins, is a great decor tip. While most Halloween decorations are vibrant, they often don't work with my home's existing style. Choosing decorations you love and that can be used year after year, with the option to add in a few trendy items, is a great way to build a collection that feels personal and cohesive.

Halloween Kitchen Decor

Continuing our chic neutral Halloween fall tour into our kitchen, you'll notice more fresh-cut roses and some hydrangeas in the back. Although I love faux flowers, fresh flowers are always a great addition. In my opinion, fresh flowers do not take nearly as much time to arrange and really enhance a room in terms of aesthetic appeal. It's an easy way to bring life into your home, and party guests will adore them.

Instead of a spooky Halloween wreath, I opted for this chic cream-colored wreath made of dried shola flowers. I love its texture and shape, which fit perfectly against the front door of our pantry. Unlike most autumnal wreaths with an orange color palette, you could keep this neutral-colored wreath up year-round.

I added a mixture of faux and real small pumpkins to the kitchen for texture. A great way to display them is to add them to a large serving bowl, jar, or cake stand.

These large glass gallon-size jars are perfect for displaying elegant Halloween decor fillers. You could use this idea for any season throughout the year. I filled the jars with mini skeleton heads, faux pumpkins, and white ghost peeps to get into the spooky spirit.

Halloween Entryway

For a dramatic, creepy effect in our foyer, I added fake cobwebs across the gleaming primrose mirror, with a cluster of black bats surrounding the outside. The terracotta skull vase adds a modern touch, along with the skeleton hand on top of the crystal orb.
