Halloween 2025 is creeping up, and it’s the perfect excuse to transform your space into something equal parts eerie and enchanting. Whether you’re working with a small porch, a cozy living room, or planning to spookify your rv campsite, we’ve curated the best on-trend decor ideas for this year. These aren t the usual pumpkins and cobwebs theme though, we are getting into fancy, creative, and stylish ideas that can be used on both indoor and outdoor. Ready to give your space a frightfully fun twist? Let’s dive in.
1. Pink Halloween for a Playful Twist
This year, pink is having a spooky moment. Pastel pink to fuschia skull garlands are everywhere on Pinterest and Instagram right now, this is word on the street. It’s especially fun in a kitchen or indoor simple entryway where you want Halloween to feel more charming than chilling. Blogger Elsie Larson from A Beautiful Mess even showcased her pink-themed Halloween brunch setup last year—and it’s stuck.
2. Cozy Campsite Vibes with Jack-o’-Lanterns
If you’re celebrating Halloween in a campsite or prepping your rv campsite, bring the fall charm with cozy lights, battery-powered jack-o’-lanterns, and spooky silhouettes projected onto the trees. It is an exterior scene yet it does make it feel like home. Don’t forget cozy plaid throws and a pumpkin-scented candle to set the mood.
3. DIY Skeletons on the Front Yard Scene
There’s something iconic about a skeleton outdoor display—but this year, go diy with your skeletons. Metallic paint them, or put costumes on them, or place them in some daily activity. Whether it’s sipping tea on the outdoor porch or pushing a lawn mower on your front yard, they’ll be the talk of your neighborhood. Just ask TikTok creator, who went viral for dressing hers in ‘90s fashion.
4. Small Porch, Big Statement
Working with a small front porch or small porch? No problem. Vertical space: stack some hay bales, layer pumpkins and hang a bat garland over your door. To illuminate the night time add an orange-LED candle lantern. There is mini broom and cauldron at the side of the door giving it witchy flavor. Blogger Liz Marie has great tips for making small spaces feel festive.
5. Indoor Spooky Chic for the Living Room
Your indoor living room can feel haunted without going overboard. Cover mirrors with black cheesecloth, use skullprint pillows instead of standard ones and decorate by including vintage candlesticks. This is the home living room style that will suit the planting of dear spooky movie night in a non haunted house. Design blogger Shavonda Gardner swears by dark florals and flickering light for atmosphere.
6. Fall and Gothic Mix on the Patio
Mix fall and gothic style on your patio by blending rich burgundy mums, black lanterns, and velvet pumpkins. A second hand black lace tablecloth on the table in the backyard gives it that perfect haunted look. Add a cauldron of dry ice that will produce theatrical smoke. This style works great on any covered outdoor porch too.
7. Coffee Table of Curiosities
Turn your coffee table into a mysterious centerpiece. Begin with a dark runner, add old books, little flasks of potions, a glass cloche filled with a fake raven and dried roses. It will be witchy, small-scale but dramatic, in terms of a witchy curiosity cabinet aura. It’s perfect for an indoor party or Halloween dinner setup.
8. Office Desk That Screams Halloween
Don’t let your office desk miss out on the fun. Add mini pumpkins, a haunting calendar and replace your mousepad with a spooky one. A bat light that comes as a clip-on or an LED skull lamp will personalize your work area. It’s low-effort and helps bring the spirit of Halloween to your 9-to-5.
9. Easy Golf Cart Costume Setup
If your neighborhood does golf cart parades, an easy golf cart transformation is a must. Imagine: skeletal chauffeur, spider netting and ghosts dangling on the roof. This campground or resort cruising mobile decor project is both rough and low-effort. Bonus points for spooky music!
10. Bloxburg-Inspired Car Trunk Display
For trunk-or-treat lovers, try a car trunk setup inspired by Bloxburg design—clean lines, layered lighting, and soft but spooky decor. Think floating bats, string lights, and monochrome balloons. To put the finishing touch on them, add a fog machine and a candy bar. It’s a modern twist on the usual Halloween chaos.
11. Haunted Kitchen Potion Corner
Transform your kitchen into a mini apothecary with labeled glass jars, faux eyeballs, and LED candles. Set an entire shelf aside of witch brews and cauldron filled with cotton batting smoke. With a couple of hanging braids of garlic and black herbs the spooky picture is complete. This indoor setup adds Halloween energy right where the magic (and snacks) happen.
12. Floating Ghosts for the Front Yard
Create a field of floating ghosts in your front yard using white fabric, foam balls, and fishing line. Pin them to stakes or to the branches of trees so that they also are suspended and move in the wind. It’s a low-cost, high-impact outdoor setup perfect for families looking to surprise trick-or-treaters. These ghostly figures become even eerier under motion sensor lights.
13. Glam Goth Dining Table Setup
Bring elegance to your Halloween with a black and gold dining table in your indoor space. Think of lace runners, skull chargers plates and deep red roses in antique vases. Decorate your wine bottles with brass candlesticks and labels gaping with the words poison on them. This elevated look works in the home living room or dining area and channels your inner Addams family.
14. Spooky Trunk of Treasures
Take your trunk decor up a notch by turning your open chest or bench into a spooky treasure hoard. Cram it full of old books, skeletons, glowing balls and haunted dolls. It is an excellent item to hang on a small porch or even in your living room as a spooky decoration item. Bonus points if you add a motion sensor that triggers sound.
15. Creepy Pumpkin Creatures on the Patio
On your patio or outdoor porch, carve or paint pumpkins to look like creatures—add fangs, eyes, and horns. Position them climbing stairs or peeking through railing slats. This whimsical but slightly disturbing take on pumpkin decor is ideal for families who want to keep things fun but still a little spooky.
16. Indoor Simple Spider Invasion
If you want indoor simple but dramatic decor, go for a spider invasion look. Put dozens of plastic spiders on your ceiling that crawl up the walls and over furniture. Your only requirement is a painter tape and some time. It works particularly well above a coffee table or hallway mirror.
17. Witches’ Circle in the Front Yard
Design a front yard witches’ circle using life-sized cloaked figures around a faux cauldron. Add green lighting and dry ice for theatrical fog. This outdoor installation becomes an instant neighborhood favorite. Inspired by Instagram creator, it creates serious curbside magic.
18. Car Trunk Pirate Ship Setup
Make your car trunk the ultimate trick-or-treat destination by turning it into a pirate ship. Brush up the theme by using fabric sails, treasure chests and skeleton pirates. Great for drive-in events or parking lot parties, this idea blends diy fun with cinematic flair.
19. Glam Ghost Office Desk Setup
Inspired by Bloxburg builds, create a backyard graveyard with symmetrical tombstones, flickering pathway lights, and minimal color schemes. Keep it clean and curated—no overstuffed decor here. This outdoor setup works especially well on flat grass in your backyard or front yard.
20. DIY Window Silhouettes for Instant Curb Appeal
Give your office desk a ghostly yet stylish update. Include glass jars containing meringues in a ghost shape, little haunted houses figures and black white papers. It’s a subtle way to stay in the Halloween spirit during Zoom calls without going full haunted mansion.
