Halloween decoration has become a fun hobby for homeowners. Over the past several years, people are getting engaged deeply in decorating every corner of their homes including the front porch and backyard for the Festival of the Dead. If you want your house to be the coolest in the neighborhood this Halloween, don’t forget to infuse some creepy essence into the outdoor space of your home.

But, I must tell you that it cannot be achieved without vibrant pumpkins, creative DIY crafts and other decoration items procured from the local store. This year step out of the conventional theme and do something different. Here are some cool ideas you can try to decorate the front porch in the Halloween spirit.

From spiders and bats to intricately carved pumpkins and ghosts, this list covers a variety of front porch Halloween decoration ideas you can’t afford to miss on the spookiest day of the year.

DIY Origami Owls

If you’re a fan of origami art, try decorating your porch with DIY owls made using the simple act of folding paper. The handrails and railings, apart from the entrance of your home, are the ideal place to showcase them.
