1. Velvet Pumpkins

I am obsessed with these velvet pumpkins from Amazon. They are a great way to elevate a tablescape, centerpiece, or mantel with their rich velvet material.
If a neutral color palette isn’t your thing, they come in a variety of colors like forest green, burgundy, brown, and navy blue.
2. Black LED Candles

These black LED candles are beautiful and create warm ambient light. They are safe to leave on in your home (hello, batteries) and have a timer option, which is super helpful.
We have been using them in our house for 2 years and they are surprisingly great.
They are battery powered and flicker like real candles. They are also remote controlled which has come in handy several times during power outages! One click of a button and your space is illuminated.
3. Halloween Eucalyptus Stems

Eucalyptus leaves are so 2023. Here, I found two different colorways that both add a touch of Halloween in different ways, depending on what your vibe is.
The solid black stems are great for a Halloween party table – and probably your spookiest option! Pair these with a black or dark green glass vase for a classy touch.
Pair the autumnal stems with other neutral Halloween decor items like a wooden vase or beads. You could get double the use out of these as your Thanksgiving decor! We’re all about saving money here.
4. Halloween Potion Bottle Decorations

These black and white potion bottles are great for a Halloween party beverage station. Set them amongst your beverages of choice for a gothic touch that make your guests ask, “where’d you get these?!”
They are the perfect decor addition for your bar cart too.
5. Black Lace Fireplace Mantel Scarf

A black lace mantel scarf is like the stylish icing on the cake for your fireplace. If you’re lucky enough to have a mantel in your home, decorating it for parties is a must!
This thing oozes cool Gothic vibes and adds a bit of mystery to your decor game.
You could drape it over a counter, bar, or TV console too.
There is also a similar option in white.
6. Bat Garland With Wooden Beads

A farmhouse-style Halloween bat garland is a charming addition to your décor. These bats bring a touch of rustic flair to your space, and they’re all about casual, spooky fun.
You can also hang them on the porch or along the walls to give your space a cozy, Halloween makeover.
7. White And Gold Dot Pumpkins

These cream resin pumpkins are adorable. They’re dotted on the surface delicately in gold, with gold stems.
A set like this would look great in a warm, neutral livingroom.
You can add them to a decorative tray or as part of a beautiful mantel or shelf display.
8. Skull Pencil Holder

This skull pencil holder is so gothic chic! It would look amazing in a monochrome livingroom or office.
You can also use it as part of a centerpiece and fill it with Halloween candy or lollipops. It would be awesome as part of a Halloween tablescape (the white one is cute too!).
9. Black Pampas Wreath

This wreath is a great way to set the Halloween vibe in your home.
It has faux black pampas grass so you can hang it on your door without worrying about the effects of the weather.
It would also be great layed flat on a tablescape with a candle or skull decor in the middle.
If you prefer something more glam, you could wrap some gold or silver beads around it too.
10. Bat Paper Towel Holder

This paper towel holder is a super cute way to bring the Halloween spirit into your kitchen or bathroom trolley. I like it because it’s festive with Halloween vibes, but understated, and matte black.
If you entertain frequently you will probably get a lot of use out of it.
11. Orange Glass Soap Dispenser

This orange glass soap dispenser is an easy way to elevate your kitchen or bathroom sink. I love its simple, classic design and attention to detail of the glass.
Bonus: glass decor let’s light pass through and adds so much appeal.
For extra fun, drop in a mini submersible LED light!
This glass soap dispenser could be used throughout the Autumn season – and Thanksgiving too!
12. Iron Taper Candle Holders

I absolutely love these iron candle holders and think they are so chic! They can suit many different decor styles in the home, from rustic farmhouse, to modern organic, and wabi-sabi.
The natural iron element makes them classic and versatile. They will last you forever.
I would keep these around the home all year – not just for Halloween!
13. Sugar Skull Welcome Doormat

This sugar skull doormat is so cool and really sets the tone for your home! What better way to greet your guests upon their arrival than with this Halloween welcome mat.
This would look great outside your front door with some lanterns and Halloween lights.
14. Witch Hat String Lights

These witch hat string lights are fabulous indoors and out. You can hang them on an inclosed porch for a floating hat look, or from the trees and bushes to welcome trick-or-treaters.
If you have high ceilings, you could also hang these indoors to add a fabulous ambience to your Halloween party.
15. Fluffy Throw Blanket

I absolutely love this throw blanket and have seen the exact same style at higher-end stores. This one reminds me a lot of the Barefoot Dreams blankets.
This blanket isn’t overly Halloween, but it is definitely Autumn vibes, and is perfect for a warm, neutral Halloween pallette.
Sometimes all you need is a beautiful blanket to tie together your living space.
16. Skeleton Martini Glasses

Take a sip out of these bony hands for your next girls’ themed night, date night, or Halloween soiree!
These are so fun and would go well on a Halloween-themed tablescape.
There are also wine and champagne glass options if martinis aren’t your thing.
17. Black And Red Melting Candles

Change out your usual candlesticks with these melting Halloween candles. As they burn, the wax drips red, and makes a spooky contrast against their black exterior.
These would look great in tall iron candle holders, up on a mantle or console table.
If the red is too dramatic, plain black or white candlesticks are good choices too.
18. Cheesecloth Table Runner

This cheesecloth table runner is seriously beautiful! It is the perfect foundation for a Halloween tablescape at your next festive dinner party.
The sheerness of the cheesecloth gives it a gauze-like effect, letting light pass through and giving some airiness to the table even though it’s dark in color.
If you prefer lighter tones, you could do the cream or beige color options and pair it with dinnerware in warmer / autumnal shades.
