Best Decoration Ideas for Halloween 2025 (and Where to Get Them)

If your Halloween vibe swings from “cozy pumpkins and cinnamon tea” to “witchy goblets and just-spooky-enough skeletons,” you’re in the right place. Beth’s Christmas and Holiday Shop—a family-owned company in Raleigh, NC, with a fully stocked online holiday store—carries everything from classic harvest staples to cheeky, irreverent party pieces. 

Below, we’ve rounded up the best Halloween 2025 decoration ideas, plus a few must-grab items you can add to your home decor today.

Classic Decorations for Halloween

Classic Halloween décor is that perfect blend of nostalgia and “just one more piece” temptation—glowing pumpkins, dapper skeletons, and candy buckets at the ready. Lean into timeless silhouettes and warm, flickering light to make your home feel welcoming from the first knock. These pieces layer beautifully with what you already own, so you can decorate fast and still look put-together. 

Bonus: classics transition easily from kid-friendly afternoons to grown-up gatherings after dark.

Lighted Black Jack O’Lantern

Two words: instant ambiance. Pop the Lighted Black Jack O’Lantern on your entry table and let the soft flicker do the welcoming (and the grinning). Cluster it with a few mini pumpkins for a cozy glow that whispers, “There’s candy inside.”

Formal Dressed Skeleton Couple Figurine

Equal parts elegant and eerie, the Formal Dressed Skeleton Couple brings ballroom vibes to your bookshelf. Their fancy attire turns any vignette into a tiny masquerade. Set them by a candle and they’ll steal the spotlight—waltz not included.

Jack O’Lantern Buckets

Classic, cute, and endlessly useful, these Jack O’Lantern Buckets hold candy, napkins, or tealights with equal charm. Line a few on your front door steps for an easy, photo-friendly display. After the 31st, repurpose them as snack caddies for movie night.

Outdoor Halloween Decorations

Your porch is Halloween HQ—make it friendly by day and twinkly by night. Think in layers: a wreath at eye level, a flag for movement, and small accents in planters or railings to guide trick-or-treaters right to the goodies. 

Choose pieces that play nicely with mums and real pumpkins for a polished, festive look. And if your décor lights up, all the better—glow is the universal “welcome” sign.

Friendly Ghost Wreath

Sweet, not scary, the Friendly Ghost Wreath sets the tone before the doorbell rings. Its playful face pairs perfectly with lanterns and stacked pumpkins. Hang it with a wide ribbon to give your door that boutique-front charm.

Trick or Treat Garden Flag

Let the breeze show off your holiday spirit with the Trick or Treat Garden Flag. Stake it by the walkway for a pop of color and a little “this way to candy” energy. It’s a five-second upgrade that makes the whole yard feel in season.

Casper Plant Sticks

Give your greenery a ghostly sidekick with Casper Plant Sticks. Tuck them into planters or window boxes for a playful peek-a-boo moment. They’re the easiest way to turn everyday foliage into a mini Halloween scene.

Spooky Halloween Decorations

If you like your décor with a delicious little shiver, anchor a vignette with one statement “spook” and surround it with moody textures and candlelight. A touch of metallic or glass keeps things stylish, not cheesy—elevated spook is the vibe. 

Use dark books, gauzy fabric, and mirrors to build depth and drama. Then lower the lights and let the goosebumps roll in.

Skeleton Hand Candle Holder

Creepy, classy, and candle-ready, the Skeleton Hand Candle Holder grips attention on mantels or dining tables. Add a black taper for dramatic “tales by candlelight” vibes. Pair it with a small cloche or antique frame to complete the haunted study look.

Arachnid Terrarium

The Arachnid Terrarium delivers eight-legged intrigue with zero actual scuttling. Style it beside old books and a weathered candlestick for instant curiosity-cabinet energy. If you’re spider-averse, good news: this one only moves when you do.

Decorative Tombstones

Create a mini graveyard vignette with Decorative Tombstones. Cluster two or three near lanterns and drape a little moss for texture. The result is perfectly spooky without sacrificing your living room to a full cemetery.

Illuminating Halloween Decorations

The quickest way to make any scene feel enchanted? Lights. Mix tapers, tea lights, and LEDs to layer glow at different heights and watch your space transform after sunset. Candlelight pulls everything together—suddenly your mantel, table, and porch all feel like part of the same story. 

And bonus: lighting doubles your décor mileage for parties and movie nights.

Skull and Bone Taper Candles

Swap your everyday tapers for the Skulls & Bone Taper Candles and boom—instant gothic upgrade. They’re the subtle flex your tablescape didn’t know it needed. Drop them into your favorite holders and you’re “dinner by the catacombs” ready.

Rainbow Pumpkin Candles and Tea Lights

Add a pop of playful color with Rainbow Pumpkin Tea Lights (yes, they’re as cute as they sound). Scatter them along a mantel or down a table runner for twinkly, happy glam. Tuck a few into a lantern for a candy-corn-meets-chic effect.

LED Fairy Lights

Weave the Warm White LED Fairy Light Set through wreaths, lanterns, or bar carts for a gentle, golden glow. Battery power means you can sparkle anywhere—no outlet gymnastics required. Coil a strand inside a glass pumpkin for a glow-from-within centerpiece.

Cozy Halloween Decor

For the “sweater weather + scary movie” crowd, think touchable textures and plush accents. A few throws and themed pillows turn any sofa into the comfiest ghoul-watching spot. Keep your palette tight—warm neutrals with a pop of pumpkin orange or charcoal—to make everything feel intentional. Then add a tray with cocoa and candy corn, because ambiance tastes better with snacks.

Flannel Throw

The Flannel Throw with Fringe is snuggle-season approved—great over a chair or layered at the foot of the bed. Want a classic pattern? The fall inspired throw blanket delivers fireside-storybook charm. Keep one in a basket by the couch so guests can get cozy on cue.

Pumpkin Pillows

Pile on a few Pumpkin Pillows for a soft splash of autumn shape and color. Their sculptural look makes even the simplest sofa feel seasonal. Mix added pillow sizes in Autumn colors for that delightful “pumpkin patch on the couch” effect.

Skull Pillow

Edgy but cozy? The Skull Pillow brings a wink of rock-and-roll to your sofa stack. It plays surprisingly well with plaids and neutrals. Consider it your seasonal band tee—but fluffier.

Whimsical Halloween Decorations

Prefer giggles to goosebumps? Add a few pieces that make people smile. These are perfect for kitchens, desks, and kid zones—anywhere a little levity goes a long way. Whimsy keeps your space festive without tipping into fright night, and it’s endlessly mix-and-matchable.

Skeletons in Yoga Poses

Meet the most flexible décor ever: Skeletons in Yoga Poses. Downward Dog to Tree Pose, they’re guaranteed to spark conversation (and maybe better posture). Pop one by your diffuser for the ultimate zen-but-spooky corner.

Jack Lantern Socks

Treat your feet to festive flair with Jack Lantern Socks. They’re a morale boost in sock form—great for costume-adjacent office days. Gift a pair with cocoa and candy for an instant “boo box.”

Creepy Character Tea Lights

Tiny but mighty, the Creepy Character Tea Lights add playful glow to shelves and windowsills. Mix a few with fairy lights for a cheerful, twinkly scene. They’re the definition of low-effort, high-delight décor.

Día de los Muertos Decor

Honor and celebration go hand in hand—bring in bright colors, meaningful motifs, and a dash of elegance. These pieces look stunning on ofrendas, dining buffets, or curated shelves. Balance vivid patterns with solid linens and candlelight to let the artwork shine. The result feels joyful, respectful, and beautifully seasonal.

Skull Plates

The Skull Plates serve snacks with bold, celebratory style. Stack them on a bar cart or hang a couple as wall art for the season. They turn even simple chips and salsa into a party.

Masquerade Skeleton Bust

Dramatic and dashing, the Masquerade Skeleton Bust is an instant focal point. Place it near candlelight to highlight its ornate mask and details. Pair with marigolds for a museum-meets-fiesta moment.

Sugar Skull Candy Buckets

Colorful and handy, Sugar Skull Candy Buckets corral sweets, utensils, or party favors. They’re practical pieces that double as décor—win-win. Line a few on a shelf for a rainbow of happy skulls.

Halloween Decorations for Entertaining

From coffee bar to cocktail hour, theme your sips and snacks for maximum delight. A few smart swaps turn everyday hosting into a Halloween-ready spread. Think playful serveware, witty details, and something that shimmers under candlelight. Your guests will feel the vibe before the first pour.

Fun Sayings Tea Cups

Start the day with a grin (or host a cozy evening tea) using Fun Sayings Tea Cups. They stack beautifully on open shelves and make great hostess gifts. Mix designs so everyone at the table gets “their” cup.

Iridescent Skull Pitcher

Serve cider, punch, or “potion” in the Iridescent Skull Pitcher. The light-catching finish brings just the right amount of spooky sparkle. Pair with black tumblers and orange slices for instant party points.

Pumpkin Salt and Pepper Shakers

Season your tablescape with the cutest duo around: Pumpkin Salt & Pepper Shakers. They’re small, sculptural, and undeniably fall—aka centerpiece-worthy even when not in use. Set them on a mini tray with a tea light for an easy table vignette.
