Table of Contents

Add just a few of these Halloween decor ideas to your existing line up for a spooky-chic touch.

If your Halloween style leans more “charming vintage haunt” than “plastic skeleton overload,” you’re in good company. This season’s trendiest Halloween decorations are all about mixing nostalgia with a touch of eerie elegance. Think terracotta pumpkins, moody candlelight, and spooky-chic serve ware that capitalize on chilling sophistication.

As you go through your bins and boxes to haunt your house, one or two of these pieces will help you embrace the spooky season with style—and maybe even a little magic.
