Creative Chandeliers

Your lighting fixtures have much potential to transform the overall ambiance of your space. While a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations should serve you just fine; however, creative and quirky chandeliers hung over your dining table will illuminate the space with holiday spirit. Try a tassel branch chandelier or broomstick chandelier.

Choose Statement Centerpieces

Centerpieces are often ignored elements when it comes to your holiday table setting. They have an untapped potential to transform the entire vibe of the tablescape, whether you are DIY-ing a piece or buying from the store. But you must choose your centerpiece with the overall theme in mind and something that will impeccably blend in. Try eerie floral arrangements, a pumpkin layout, or skulls and feathers.

To induce an eerie vibe, skulls and bones are essential. You can go for a subtle layout with a skull centerpiece, or curate a full-blown skeleton fair on the dining table. But be careful not to cross the fine line between cringe and Halloween spooky.

Night Crawlers

Invite visitors of the night to your dinner table decoration. Bats, rats, and cats will make for amazing spooky elements to evoke the spirits of the Day of the Dead. Strategically place these creatures of nights on the table; you can use them as place cards, napkin rings, or centerpieces.

Plant Plants

If you want a low-key setting without any fuss, place a nice little planter or two on the dinner table. To match the Halloween spirit, pick a skull planter. Floral plants will be a beautiful and ideal choice.

Spiders and Webs

Weave a web of creepy, crawling spiders. You can choose between Harry Potter’s giant spider Aragog’s acromantula colony in the Forbidden Forest or the shudder-inducing home of Shelob, an enormous spider in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Trust us, it will be spooktacular.

Say it With Pink

Pink Halloween decorations have become one of the most sought-after things post-Barbie mania. Although it may seem stupid to veer off from the sure-shot Halloween classics like orange and black, pink works brilliantly into the theme. You don’t even need to go all-out pink for this to stick the landing. You can simply add that bright pop of pink or parade your pink candles for Pinkoween.

Make it Goth

Gothic Halloween décor may seem a bit on the nose but it has a certain charm and sophistication that can be paired with themed foods for an ultimate Halloween table decoration. You will need chic skulls, spooky napkin rings, crystal wine glasses, striking centerpieces, and a classic color combination say black and pink to tie everything into a neat little bow. Black butterflies and lanterns are another way to make it Goth.
