how to decorate your home in chic luxury style for Halloween this year

Halloween today is one of the most favored of all the holidays – so much so, that even hedge fund bosses on Manhattan’s Upper East Side deck out their brownstones with over the top All Hallows Eve décor. 

And even though this year’s celebration may look a little different, we don’t expect it to damper anyone’s enthusiasm too much.  After all, who could say “no” to a socially distanced outdoor costume party complete with costume coordinated face masks, spooky decor, fun tricks and luxury treats?

Some may say that while they enjoy the holiday and the spooky fun spirit it brings, they do not love forfeiting their home’s usual polished style to the run of the mill tacky Halloween decorations.

And while we ourselves love a bit of playful – even a little bit scary – décor for the holiday, we realize it’s not for everyone.  So for those of you who are looking for a more refined All Hallow’s Eve aesthetic this year, this list is for you. You shouldn’t have to forfeit good taste to enjoy Halloween, right?

To help you kick off the revelry in style, we found 30 Halloween décor ideas organized by theme. Some of our finds are so good that you might even want to keep them out all year long!

From a mystical table scape to an other-worldly entryway. Or a hauntingly good porch that’s perfect for leaving out social distance friendly batches of candy. Here are our top 30 picks for a sleek Halloween no matter your taste and penchant for spookiness.

1. mystical

Conjure the power of the third eye in your home with Grandin Road’s Eyeball Orbs ($34).  Set a surreal table with Laboratorio Paravicini’s celestial inspired Zodiaco Dinner Plates (Set of 4/$290) paired with Skeleton Hand Champagne Glasses ($30) from Pottery Barn.

A Scary Skull Incense Burner ($20) from Patch NYC will give off a mysterious vibe and can be used both inside and outside.  Greet guests with Grandin Road’s gloomy gathering of Holding Hand Witches (Set of 3/$99).  Finally, add a hauntingly chic Dark Forest Mirror ($129) from Grandin Road to complete the spine tingling look.

2. haunted house

Set the scene inside your haunted home with Crate and Barrel’s spooky Bats Old Fashion Glasses ($10) together with the scary good Fornasetti Skull Portrait Plate ($189).  You can’t go wrong with a Terracotta Skull Vase ($25) from West Elm too.

Adorn your porch with Edgar Allen Poe inspired Silhouette Crows ($59) and a Beware Bird Bath ($229) from Grandin Road to warn your neighbors what lies ahead.  Add a crow wreath ($63), and a Spooky Spider Doormat ($30) from Patch NYC, and you will certainly have a hair-raising home.

3. graveyard

Conjure up some of the world’s most hauntingly beautiful cemeteries with Lady Tombstones ($169) from Grandin Road on your lawn.  For an extra spooky touch add a Life Size Indoor/Outdoor Mr. Bones ($99) from Pottery Barn and set of Creepy Hands with Lanterns ($59) from Grandin Road too.

Make your tablescape macabre with Williams Sonoma’s Black Matte & Copper Wine Glasses ($60) paired with Porcelain Snake Plates ($56) from Seletti.  You can’t go wrong with a few Ghost Luminaries (Set of 3/$105) from Bethany Lowe in your windows or skeleton skull candle holders ($19.50) on your shelves, too.

4. autumn harvest

Your Halloween look doesn’t have to be all about monsters and ghouls.  Instead, decorate your space with Cozy Pumpkin Pillows ($35) from Pottery Barn, a cheerful Farmers Market Garland ($129) and a friendly Pumpkin Shaped Doormat ($99) from Grandin Road.

A MacKenzie-Childs Tartan Spice Punch Bowl ($295) will work just as well for Halloween as it will for Thanksgiving, as will these cute Williams Sonoma Pumpkin Cups ($11).  Finally, everyone will feel welcome on your doorstep when they are greeted by the Gather Together Wreath ($100) from Williams Sonoma.

5. classic fun

Those of us with little ones know that some aspects of Halloween can be a little too scary.  Opt for something a little more classic but still a little spooky with Bethany Lowe’s Ghost Dog Paper Mache Halloween Decoration ($128) in your windows.  Little ones will love getting into the spirit with a Williams Sonoma Cauldron Serving Bowl ($70) full on candies or some fun Glow-in-the-Dark Plates ($9) from Pottery Barn Kids.

Decorate your shrubs and doorstep with some retro Pumpkin Lanterns ($40), a vintage doormat ($59.95) and colorful orange Halloween Twinkle Lights ($13) from Crate and Barrel. Or invite some party crashers with Grandin Road’s friendly looking Window Crasher Ghosts ($99).
