Your Halloween Guide To Spooky (Not Scary) Spaces

They’re creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re all together ooky. Whether you’re looking for kid-friendly trick-or-treat decor or dressing up your interior spaces for a seance, we’ve got you covered. Scroll through for Halloween inspired spaces with small additions that can last for the season or larger investment pieces for years of fun and enjoyment.

Autumn-Inspired Dining Room

When you feel a chill in the air and hear dried leaves crunch underfoot, you know autumn is finally here. Instead of decking your house in floor-to-ceiling pumpkin orange to herald the new season, we’re taking a more subtle approach that encapsulates the pensive and moody feeling of fall. Lean on pale woods, strong dark silhouettes, and accessories that add some coziness with warm orange-adjacent hues.

Dark and Moody Entryway

Instead of screams, we’re going for oohs and aahs when guests step into this charismatic entryway. Set the tone for the rest of the house tour with a dark, sumptuous color palette of maroon, black, chocolate brown, and touches of cream. The vibe we’re going for is less goth and more mysterious elegance with lantern-style lighting, dark wood storage pieces, and velvet seating that offer both beauty and function.

Ghostly Chic Living Room

We’re taking a bit of inspiration from haunted houses —less cobwebs, more vintage decor. Consider pieces with a more ornate traditional flair, from wrought iron chandeliers to velvet sofas to gilded gold mirrors. For the finishing touches, layer in some soft glowing lighting from taper candles as well as more overtly festive accessories like a Halloween throw pillow or spooky black cat statue.
