Spooky season is upon us and it's time to turn your attention to transforming your home for Halloween. There's no reason why Christmas should get all the fun when decorating with drama. So, don't miss the chance to decorate your home for Halloween this year. From creating maximalist magic on your dining table to bringing chilling style to Halloween cocktails, in this blog, we dive deep into our favourite focus points for Halloween styling. Keep reading for our top tips on:

• Creating a devilishly chic dinner party 
• Decorating with Halloween pumpkins 
• Creating a chilling cocktail corner
• Adding spooky style everywhere else!

The dining table is the centre of any celebration and Halloween is no exception. Whether you're planning to mark the occasion with a girly dinner, family fright night or a party with your favourite people, it's important to set the scene and decorate your home for Halloween. Follow our five simple (g)hosting steps below for a night to remember.

1. Candles! - Candles are the secret ingredient for any stylish dinner setting. Perfect for creating a spooky scene, fill your table with candles in all shapes and turn the lights off. This year, our collection includes glamorous monochrome ghost candles, Halloween pumpkins and plenty of twisted tapers. Shop our candle collection here. 
2. A chic tablecloth - Protecting your table and providing the ideal backdrop for your scheme, a tablecloth helps create your desired mood. This year, you can't beat the beautiful Black & White Striped Tablecloth. *insert link*
3.  A playful plate set - Gorgeous with or without a decadent feast of food, plates are the focus point of any trick-or-treat-inspired tablescape. Go gothic and decorate your home for Halloween with our Black Bon Appetit Set, indulge your wild side with leopard side plates or mix and match your collection for maximalist magic. 
4. Pumpkins - The perfect final touch, nothing says Halloween like a pumpkin! With mini designs amongst our collection this year, why not introduce a pumpkin to each place setting to finish your fabulous fright night styling with seasonal flair?

There is a reason why our Halloween pumpkins sell out every year. The perfect accessory to decorate your home for Halloween, without compromising on style, we cannot get enough of these luxe velvet pumpkins. Nothing says Halloween like a pumpkin – and mixing and matching the real thing with faux versions gives you the best of all worlds. If you prefer a more subtle vibe, skip the carving this year and instead create a more tasteful tableau in your porch, on your steps or in your outdoor space by using pumpkins nestled in autumn foliage, lit up with battery-operated fairy lights threaded throughout. 

Available in small and large, our collection for 2024 includes black, cream, green and a beautiful dusky rose pink. While the small pumpkins can be added to your dining table, the larger pumpkins offer the perfect way to bring Halloween to any corner of your interior. From the mantel to shelves, coffee tables or the stairs, we recommend curating your own collection of five or six for playful, pumpkin patch vibes. And unlike balloons that pop, the velvet pumpkins can be easily stored away to decorate your home for Halloween, year after year.

A party is the perfect excuse to decorate your home for Halloween and no haunted house party is complete without a bar. The star of the show for any cocktail corner is undoubtedly our iconic Black Disco Ball Bar Cart. However, there are plenty of other ways to decorate your home for Halloween when hosting a boozy party. Glassware is, of course, an essential and this year our collection includes a set of skull shot glasses that is the ideal addition to your home when celebrating the spooky season. Simply fill with a colourful orange liquor (don't blame us for the hangover from hell) or use the glasses to create shots of espresso martini. Whether you're the proud owner of a drinks trolley or are opting for a makeshift cocktail station in your living room, paper decorations in black, white and orange are the perfect final touch to decorate your home for Halloween and create a treat for the eyes across your bar. 

As with Christmas, we recommend you decorate your home for Halloween with a maximalist approach. Whether you like to go all-out or keep your scary shenanigans to a select few, it is important to consider every room, nook and corner when planning your spooky styling extravaganza. Aside from the obvious kitchen and bar spots, these are our favourite places to bring Halloween spirit to the home:

1. Your staircase - As one of the central spots in the entire house, decorating your staircase sets the scene for the wicked wonder to be found throughout your home. A black or white ghostly garland will work a treat for maximum impact with minimum effort. Alternatively, tie Halloween balloons to your bannister in a colour palette of black, white and orange.
2. The front door - Greet trick-or-treaters in style and decorate your home for Halloween by starting with the front door. Our velvet pumpkins are a magical addition to your entrance and can be scattered across steps or curated in a pile next to the door when the weather allows. Garlands are also a fabulous way to decorate doors both inside and out. Or for a low-effort alternative to a Halloween wreath, why not hang our Black & Orange paper decorations from the door knocker?
3. Your fireplace - The fireplace takes on new importance as the weather starts to turn and cosy nights set in. As a result, it's the perfect focal point to decorate your home for Halloween. Add plenty of candles both on the mantel and around the hearth for a failsafe way to bring the magic. In addition, hanging garlands in layers helps to create a maximalist look in no time. And last but not least, a collection of our ever-versatile velvet pumpkins will complete the scene and help master how you decorate your home for Halloween.
