Classic Halloween decor

Traditional Halloween decorations are always a great choice. They are typically affordable, and since they never go out of style, you can use them year after year.

These 10 iconic creatures can help you create classic Halloween decor to complete your spooky aesthetic:

• Pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns. 
• Skeletons. 
• Spiders with webs.
• Witches alone or with brooms. 
• Ghosts. 
• Bats. 
• Black cats. 
• Tombstones. 
• Vampires. 
• Zombies. 

Add as many of these decorations to your home as you like for a hit every season.

New Halloween decor

The best Halloween decorations revive the classics with the help of new — but still affordable — technology. You no longer need to reach for old cutouts, plastic spiders and low-quality ceramics with these seven terrifying pieces of Halloween decor:

• Coffins: Whether made from wood, metal or resin, you can find a coffin (with or without built-in spooky lighting) perfect for the vampire in you.
• Animatronic dolls: Motion-activated dolls that gesture, shake and scream give new life to this terrifying classic. 
• Projector light shows: Indoor and outdoor light shows with friendly pumpkins or scary zombies can make a big impact with little effort.
• Larger-than-life creatures: Small plastic statues have evolved into giant lifelike creatures that reach heights of 5, 10 and even 15 feet.
• Safer candles: Electronic candles let you skip the safety hazard and opt for realistic flickering battery-powered candles, typically controlled by a convenient remote. 
• Reusable webs: Sustainable spider webs made from lace and polyester look better than older versions. You can also wash and store them for next year.  
• Decals: Stick-on decals for floors, windows and walls are typically reusable and horrifyingly realistic. 

Where to place Halloween decor

If you want to create a spooky aesthetic in your home but don't know where to start, there are six primary areas to consider adding Halloween decor.

• Front yard: Set the scene by adding webs in trees with giant animatronic spiders, creatures, light shows and signs.
• Front door: Greet your guests with scary doormats, door decals and wreaths. 
• Living room: Create a creepy setting with spooky throws, pillows, candles, art and statues. 
• Kitchen: Serve some scary vibes with Halloween-themed trays, candy bowls and dish towels.
• Dining room: Dine with frightening dishes, tablecloths and centerpieces.  
• Bathroom: Set the mood with a terrifying shower curtain, soap dispenser and toilet decals.

Sustainable Halloween decor

Going for sustainable Halloween decorations that are high-quality and reusable doesn't typically cost a lot more than the standard one-time-use items of the past. Tableware, spider webs, banners and decals can all be found for about the same price as their single-use alternatives. Reusable decorations save you money and are better for the environment.
