DIY Halloween Decoration Ideas for This Season

 

  • Start with Your Entrance

Whenever anyone comes to your place, the first thing they will see is an entrance. So, decorating your entrance in the right way is important to set the right tone. Here are some DIY ideas to create a haunted entrance:

  1. Spooky Doormat: A DIY Halloween doormat is the best way to welcome your guests to the doorstep. You can simply purchase a black or orange mat, stencil sprays, paint ghosts, pumpkins, or bats on it. You can use phrases such as “Caution!” or “Enter if you dare!”
  2. Cobweb-Covered Wall Art: Give a Halloween touch by placing a fake web over skull art or other intricate designs. This creates a very eerie feel to what can often be normal artwork. You can purchase stretchable cobweb material from stores or make it yourself by simply pulling apart cotton or white yarn. 
  • Add Halloween Themed Rugs and Textiles

Use vibrant rugs and other fabrics to change the entire look of your living room:

  1. Rug as the Focal Point: Bold patterns and vibrant color schemes of a themed rug can provide a perfect vibe for Halloween decoration. For example, if you’re using bold and trendy design rugs, they can simply change into a creepy Halloween centerpiece. Coupled with skulls, bats or creepy pictures hung on the wall to create a perfect Halloween vibe. 
  2. Halloween Pillows and Throws: Placing Halloween pillows and blankets on your sofa will give it a comfortable yet scary look. Remember, items such as toys that resemble bats, pictures of spiders, or bones can be used. 
  3. DIY Spooky Mantel Décor: Another area that can be really spooky is a fireplace. You can tie orange and black material or sheer material over mantel and put candles, pumpkins and creepy art. Skeleton figures and miniature haunted houses are also good to use. 
  • Haunted Dining Experience

You can give the people a haunted dining experience by decorating your dining area. Here are some décor ideas for this Halloween:

  1. DIY Table Runner: Create a Halloween table runner by buying or collecting some black lace, tulle, or a torn old curtain. For the final detail, paint blood splatters in red to give them a more dramatic look or feel. This makes them even scarier, as they contrast with more tasteful, Gothic-style dinnerware sets. 
  2. Haunted Chandelier: If you are using light above your dining table, you can use miniature bats or ghosts. You can make them look like they are floating in air with the help of wire. In the case of Airbnb spaces, such a quick transformation is best for guests and creates an interesting spot to post on Instagram. 
  • Add Lighting and Sound to Finish Decorations

Light and sound is the important thing in Halloween decoration as they can elevate your décor to the next level. Use Halloween decor ideas for your space:

  1. Black Lights and String Lights: Switch normal light bulbs with black light to create a weird kind of lighting. If you want to do something unique, use orange and purple lights in your room for a haunted and eerie atmosphere. These lights can be wrapped around your wall decor or hung across the room to create a magical and dreadful look. 
  2. Creepy Sounds Playlist: If you are going to be a hosting guest in your Airbnb for Halloween, then having a playlist with some scary tunes is always nice. Keep a speaker in a less obvious place to make scary sounds like the sound of doors closing on their own, faint voices, and distant screaming. That is the best way to make all your guests get ready to celebrate Halloween.
  3. Candlelit Corners: Buy flame-less candles and place them strategically to give the place a spooky light. Stack them in clusters, put them inside the skull decorations, or align them on the window sills for a scary Halloween vibe without a fire hazard.
