Black Painted Branch with Candles

One of the easiest ways to Halloweenify (defo a word!)

We love the simplicity, as well as the twisted structure of the twigs against the stark white tablecloth.

Add in some brass candle sticks for some olde worlde style that will really impress your Halloween guests.

They are so simple to make so you could get the kids involved too.

Despite their more childish feel, they still remain really stylish.

We love the ability to customize them with speech bubbles!

Witch hey!

Halloween Door Mat Display

We love the play on words with this simple door mat fromHouse on Longwood Lane.

The front porch Halloween decor is spot on too.

When you actually look at what is involved it is quite simple.

Just some large pumpkins, potted orange begonias and some fake spiders webbing.

It looks so much more though!

Guests to your house at Halloween will be totally impressed with this stylish set up.

We love the candle holder hands which add a double spooky element of severed hand and eerie candlelight!

Amaze your guests with something completely out of the ordinary!

Giant Edible Eyeballs!

Yes, we know this is food, but it still adds something incredible to your Halloween decor.

Oh, Ive just got some cows eyeballs lying around, feel free to have a nibble!

This great sandman window decal fromHarbor Design Co on Etsyis a perfect choice!

If youre keen on your modeling and crafts, youll love this project.

Gothic Halloween Mantel Decor

A more Gothic take on the Halloween mantel decor fromApartment Therapy.

This one is more along the lines of traditional elements of skulls, ravens and dead branches.

We especially love the black branch wreath above the mantel as well as the Edgar Allan Poe reference.

This decor reminds us of the creativity it’s possible for you to inject into your Halloween decor.

This awesome, colourful skull wreath byThe Crafted Sparrowwould look amazing amongst some more modern Halloween decor.

Its such an easy set up, with the giant web from Target and a cardboard spider cut out.

However it creates a big impact so we think its a no-brainer for your Halloween decor.

These constellation pumpkin luminaries fromLia Griffithare a great example of taking the pumpkin into the modern age.

They are both beautiful and educational!

Get your kids involved as you create them.

Painting pumpkins is a fantastic way to fit them into your particular scheme.

We love the use of black and white balloons with ghosts faces to create a dramatic fireplace scene.

You could buy the balloons with ghost faces or create them yourself with white balloons and a sharpie!

They are so simple to create, but would look stunning strung across a window.

Halloween Styled Bookcase

Another great display fromEmily Hendersonis this Halloween styled bookcase.

Its a fantastic idea to use all the nooks and crannies available to add in so subtle Halloween decor.

A crow here, a mini black pumpkin there, a stray skeleton hand creeping out of a book!

All perfectly spooky and whimsical!

Autumn Leaves with Spooky Faces

Such a simple idea, but gorgeous and original.

They are a great alternative to the standard pumpkin carving/painting (and far cheaper!)

You could also string them up into a garland for a stunning, colourful addition to your Halloween decor.

byThe Paper Mamais really impressive.

Another great little project to do with the little ones, and can be re-used every year.

Do they dare put their hands in the plants mouth to grab some treats?

Smokin Pumpkin

How impressive would this smokin pumpkin be as part of your Halloween decor?

Granted it would only be for a short time, but totally worth it we feel!

Might be more of an outdoor Halloween decoration this one!

Get the smoke bombs fromSmoke Effect.

Cheesecloth Ghosts

We love these cheesecloth ghosts fromMartha Stewart.

They are surprisingly simple, but will have a dramatic, spooky effect on your Halloween decor.
