Best Halloween Mantle & Halloween Front Porch Decor Ideas
Fall is in full swing, so it’s time to start decorating the home for Halloween! When it comes to curating the perfect Halloween ambiance, it’s best to focus on the entrance and heart of the home– specifically, the front porch and living room.
From simple Halloween mantle decorations to ghoulishly grand front porch accents, we’ll show you how to create a spook-tacular space, inside and out. With these Halloween decor ideas in mind, you’ll be ready to transform your home into a chic haunted haven!
Halloween Mantle Decorations
The mantle is a central focal point in many living rooms, making it the perfect spot to set the mood for Halloween. Whether you want to feature your Halloween village collection or create a gothic-inspired display, there are plenty of ways to decorate the space.
Holiday village collections are classic for Christmas, but they’ve quickly become a staple for spooky season, too! To create an eye-catching haunted village display, simply line your fireplace with a few Halloween houses at various heights. Feel free to position your favorites on a riser like we did here with our Halloween Church, Spell Bindery, and Haunted Home.
For a hint of eerie elegance, we suggest arranging some Fall floral arrangements along the back in chic mismatched vases. Finally, tie it all together with a classic Halloween garland.
If you’re a vintage Halloween fanatic, you can create a spooky-cute mantle with a few Johanna Parker lanterns and some hanging paper stars. To make the colors pop, arrange them on and alongside these black and white striped pots.
We also love the spooky simplicity of an elegant Halloween mantle. Start by spreading out a lace mantle scarf, (this white ghost scarf is wonderful for neutral Halloween homes, while this black bat scarf is ideal for a darker ambiance). Then, add some eerie accent pieces like skulls, ghost candlesticks, and small flickering string lights. Boo-la-la!
Halloween Front Porch Decorations
The front porch is the first thing guests and trick-or-treaters see, so it’s best to make it boo-tiful! Start by hanging a Halloween wreath or two. Whether you want to make a statement with an orange fir wreath or go eerily understated with an elegant Halloween skull wreath, you’re guaranteed to lead a grand entrance.
We suggest taking it a step further by incorporating some simple Halloween wall decals. These black raven wall decorations are so creepy chic– perfect for arranging across the front door and up the side of the house. We recommend styling them with this black feather wreath to get the full Halloween ephemera feel!
We hope we’ve inspired you to go ghoulishly grand with your decor this season! With these Halloween decorating ideas in mind, you're sure to have a display that delights and spooks in equal measure. From our haunted home to yours, Happy Halloween!
