6 Halloween Party Decor Ideas

Halloween is a great time of year to throw a party — there are so many fun and spooky halloween party decor ideas out there.

You can go all out with a costume party, or keep it simple with a few friends and some halloween treats.

If you’re looking to throw a Halloween party this year, we’ve got you covered.

In this post, we’re sharing some of our favorite Halloween party decor ideas to help you throw a party that’s frighteningly fun.

1. Create a spooky tablescape

If you’re throwing a Halloween dinner party, you’ll want to make sure your table is decked out in the spookiest of decorations.

Start by draping a black tablecloth over your table.

Then, add a few layers of Halloween-themed fabric and table runners to create texture and visual interest.

Pro tip: Don’t have a tablecloth? You can easily make one by cutting fabric to fit your table and then hemming the edges.

No sewing machine? No problem! You can use fabric glue or fusible tape to create a no-sew hem.

2. Make a balloon garland

Balloon garlands are a great way to add a lot of color and personality to a party.

And the best part is you can make them yourself! I love the look of the black and white balloons with the pops of color from the other balloons in this garland.

Add some of the other elements from the party like the bats and the “BOO” sign to the garland to tie it in with the rest of the decor.

3. Set up a Halloween photo booth

Create a photo booth area with a Halloween backdrop, a few props, and a camera on a tripod.

You can also use your phone and set it up to take a series of photos.

If you’re throwing a Halloween party for kids, you can create a photo booth area with a Halloween-themed backdrop and some fun props.

Have a few different props that guests can use and let them take turns snapping photos with their friends.

4. Make a balloon ceiling

If you don’t want to go all out with a balloon wall, you can create a balloon ceiling instead.

This is exactly what it sounds like—use helium balloons to create a ceiling of balloons.

You can use the balloons to hang decorations like paper bats and spiders from the ceiling.

This is a fun way to make your party space feel more festive. Plus, it’s a great way to add color to the room if you’re not using a lot of other decorations.

5. Light it up

Lighting is the key to creating a spooky Halloween atmosphere. You can do this with a few simple tricks.

First, turn off all the lights in your house and use candles and string lights to cast an eerie glow.

Next, use colored light bulbs to create an otherworldly atmosphere. You can find black light bulbs that will make anything white or neon in your decor glow.

Or use green, purple, or red light bulbs to create a haunted house effect.

Finally, hang some battery-powered LED candles in your windows to let the trick-or-treaters know you’re open for business.

6. Create a Halloween mantel

If you have a mantel, it’s the perfect place to decorate for the seasons.

I created a simple Halloween mantel using a few black and white elements that I had on hand.

I used black crows, a black and white striped pumpkin, a black and white spider web wreath and

my favorite black and white Halloween art to create a fun and festive mantel.

7. Set up a candy bar

You can’t have a Halloween party without a candy bar! Here’s a fun way to get creative with your candy bar decor.

I used a black tablecloth and then added a variety of commercial and homemade Halloween treats.

I also added a few fun Halloween decor pieces like a skeleton hand and a few colorful pumpkins.

I also made a simple balloon garland to go above the table.

I used a variety of black, white, and orange balloons and then added a few Halloween-themed balloon shapes. I love how it turned out!

8. Create a balloon wall

Balloon walls are an easy way to add a lot of color to your party decor.

You can make a balloon wall as big or as small as you want, and you can use as many or as few colors as you want.

I love the idea of using black and orange balloons for a Halloween party, but you can also use purple, lime green, or any other Halloween colors you like.

9. Set up a balloon chandelier

Balloon arches are everywhere these days, but I love a good balloon chandelier. They’re just as festive as an arch, but they take up less space.

I love how this one has a spooky vibe with black, white, and silver balloons.

You could also add in some orange, purple, or green balloons to match your color scheme.

10. Create a balloon spider

This is a super easy way to create a large statement piece for your party.

You can use this as a backdrop for a photo booth or even as a focal point on a dessert table.

To create the spider, you’ll need to use a balloon garland kit. Inflate the balloons and then attach them to the garland.

You can use the instructions that come with the kit to assemble the garland.

Once you’ve got the garland assembled, you’ll want to create the spider’s body.

To do this, you’ll want to inflate a 16-inch balloon to the size of a large cantaloupe.

Then, you’ll need to tie the end of the balloon to keep the air inside. Next, you’ll want to take a marker and draw a spider’s face on the balloon.

Finally, you’ll want to use a glue dot to attach the “face” to the balloon garland. Then, use black crepe paper to create the spider’s legs.
