17 Halloween Front Porch Decor Ideas
Halloween is a fun time of year to decorate your home. Whether you use scary or fun decorations, you can easily transform your space for this fun holiday.
I have always loved decorating my front porch for Halloween, and I have some fun ideas for you to try.
If you are looking to take your Halloween porch decor to the next level, try out some of these fun and spooky ideas!
1. Make your front door the star of the show
Your front door is the first thing people will see when they come to your house, so make it count.
This is my first year with a black front door, and I can’t wait to decorate it for Halloween!
I added a simple black and white Halloween wreath and a sign that says “Witches Welcome.”
I also added a set of black urns with some Halloween flowers and a few pumpkins.
I love that I was able to make my front door the star of the show without spending a ton of money.
2. Create a creepy spider’s lair
If you’re not a fan of the classic Halloween colors (orange, purple, and green), then this front porch decor idea is for you.
It’s all about black and white, with a pop of orange from the pumpkins.
There are so many elements to love about this design, but we’re especially obsessed with the spooky spider’s
web made from black yarn and a few giant spiders.
It’s the perfect way to add a creepy element to your front porch without going overboard.
3. Play up the pumpkins
If you love decorating with pumpkins but aren’t a fan of the traditional orange color, you can still get in on the fun with a monochromatic display.
This black and white pumpkin display is anything but boring.
We love how the pumpkins are the center of attention in this set up, while the rest of the decor is kept simple to let the pumpkins shine.
4. Create a ghostly group
Who says you have to limit yourself to just one Halloween decoration? This front porch is proof that more is more when it comes to Halloween decor.
We love how the stairs are lined with pumpkins, lanterns, and a small ghostly figure.
A large ghostly figure peeks out from the corner of the porch and a few more small ghostly figures are hanging out on the wreath.
5. Go for a ghoulish glow
If you’ve got the time and energy, there’s no better way to set a spooky scene than with a whole lot of lighting.
String lights, lanterns, and candles can all add a ghostly glow to your front porch.
You can go the classic route with orange lights, or choose a color scheme that matches your home’s exterior or your existing decor.
6. Create a Day of the Dead display
Day of the Dead (or Dia de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday that honors deceased loved ones.
The celebration typically takes place from October 31 to November 2 and includes building ofrendas (altars) and decorating them with sugar skulls,
marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed.
If you’d like to create a Day of the Dead display on your front porch, you can make a small altar with photos of your own loved ones who have passed,
or simply decorate with colorful sugar skulls and marigold garlands.
7. Add a few Halloween-specific accessories
No need to go overboard with the Halloween decor.
If you prefer a more subtle look, stick with your regular fall decor and simply add a few Halloween-specific accessories.
I love the look of these black lanterns with the white pumpkins and the black and white buffalo check ribbon.
You could also add a Halloween-themed sign, a skeleton, a cauldron, or a black cat to your existing fall porch decor.
Conclusion
We hope you found a few ideas to help make your porch the most BOO-tiful on the block this year!
