Halloween Tablescape Ideas and Inspirations

Halloween is my favorite holiday for which to decorate! I love all types of friendly Halloween creatures, cobwebs and pumpkins. I look forward to decorating my house for Halloween all of September and make sure that I get to decorate on or before October 1st each year in effort to maximize the amount of time I can enjoy my decorations that year.

Creating a unique tablescape to highlight my Halloween theme is a key component to my indoor decor.  Each year I pull out my decorations and decorate with the items I have from years past. I try to put some of the decorations in new places to switch things up a bit. Once I have put up all the decorations that I feel inspired to use that year, then and only then, I allow myself to purchase a few new Halloween goodies to spice up my repertoire.

Here are a few tablescape ideas and inspirations that I created this year. I made these designs using a combination of decor items that I have collected over the years and that I have found in stores out and about this Fall in my travels.

Down Came a Spider

To create this table scape, I used the following decor elements:

• Cheesecloth for the table cloth (Click here for more ideas about how to decorate for Halloween with cheesecloth!)
• A table runner from Pottery Barn Kids
• DIY pumpkins with pizzazz
• Hurricane candles filled with small pumpkin potpourri
• A tall vase with dried flowers
• Halloween ornaments from Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids

Spooky Trees and Spider Webs

To create this table scape, I used the following decor elements:

• Cheesecloth for the table cloth
• DIY pumpkins with pizzazz
• Spiderweb placemats from Target
• Pottery Barn Kids Halloween plates
• A spooky tree from Michael’s spray painted with black glitter spray paint
• Black and white striped plates from Tabula Rasa Essentials in Manhattan Beach

Hoooot for Halloween

To create this table scape, I used the following decor elements:

• Cheesecloth for the table cloth
• Dried black roses and glitter swizzle sticks from Michael’s
• Small votives filled with popcorn kernels and a black glitter spider from Michael’s
• Black and white striped plates from Tabula Rasa Essentials in Manhattan Beach
• A spiderweb placemats from Target
• Straw owls from Michael’s
• Skull and crossbone candles (I have had these for years and I am honestly not sure where they are from).
• Martha Stewart bat cut outs from Michael’s
• A “Happy Halloween” sign from Michael’s

As a side note, one of the many things that I LOVE about Michael’s Art Supply stores is that they have “in season” sales on their items. Such JOY!
