Halloween isn’t just for kids, see how I styled my living room with stylish and tasteful Halloween decor, spooktacular for all ages.
Stylish and Tasteful Halloween Decor may sound boring, but trust me it’s not. Halloween decor can be stylish and tasteful or over the top, traditional or scare your socks off. As you decorate your home for everyday life or for any holiday, think about your “audience” [your family], and adjust accordingly. My Halloween decor this year, is modern with just a hint of SPOOK.
I get asked a lot if I decorate for every holiday. I actually do. I get this from my Mom, she absolutely loved adding holiday touches to our home, and it’s one of my favorite memories of my Mom and my childhood.
When decorating for holidays, I take cues from the room itself. What do I have that I can use again, what colors am I working with. “Shopping your home” is something I do all the time, which means, when do I buy decor items, I choose items that I can use over and over and in all different rooms in my home. When thinking about holiday decor, my big secret is, I buy a lot of it on CLEARANCE, buying items that I can see fitting into my home. Hit the stores after the holiday passes and you will find great prices and just store it away for next year.
This year for Halloween I used neutrals, greens, tan and kept with my black and white that I have in my room. I chose crows, skeletons, and moths, OH MY! I’m always trying to come up with something unique and I love the idea of moths this year. I found them on Amazon, they are actually butterflies that I cut their bodies to make them look more moth-like. What do you think?
Can you say STYLISH SKULL? I made the arrangement in it by using only floral greens and added moths on floral wire. I live in a pretty small town, where the floral selection is pretty limited. I found these greens at Smiths, in their floral department, they are vase filler. Even though there are no flowers, in the arrangement I absolutely love how it turned out. The garland I bought at Hobby Lobby, and I actually bought this garland to use at Christmas time but felt it looked perfect for Halloween too. I’ll be sure to point out the garland at Christmas time, so you can see how I use it again.
Tasteful and stylish Halloween decor is possible, and no one will say boring. Make a plan of the look you want, use what you have and get creative. Put on your favorite Halloween movie, and get to decorating, All Hallows Eve is right around the corner. If you’ve got it HAUNT IT, and I know you’ve got it!

I love the shop your home tip – you don’t always need to run out and spend money. I like to find items that are like colors – I matched some vintage children’s books (without the covers), up with some orange and yellow Pyrex bowls and added a ceramic owl – voila! A Halloween display. The moths (butterfly shadows) add just the right amount of spook – well done!
