13 Halloween Party Decorations That Are Spooky-Chic
You can always count on a Halloween party to be fun, but an elevated affair? Not so much. Orange and black are not the bestest of friends, and most of the decorations you find in stores are cheap plastic if you aren't able splurge. And though exceptions do exist, who can really throw it down for party decorations?
Fortunately, there are ways to spook your place out without terrorizing your budget. Below, find 13 Halloween decor ideas to trick out your home for a spooky-chic party.

Gilded Skeleton
A plastic skeleton — or, you know, whatever bones you have on hand — gets a glitzy upgrade with gold metallic spray paint. Don't be afraid to dress her up and seat her in your nicest chair. (via @anmaynard)
Ghostly Mantel
Ditch orange and black for this ghostly fireplace. All you need to do is complement the skull- and skeleton-clad mantel with a few delicately strung chains, dried Spanish moss, and white candles. (via @rockrosehome)

All Dressed In Black
Set off a blonde wooden table in black, black, and more black. Pro tip: If pitch-black foliage just won't grow in your garden of death, spray paint some eucalyptus. (via @sbkliving)
Pretty in Pastel
Okay, not the most frightful party decor, but certainly some of the prettiest. Here, plastic dollar-store pumpkins become planters, peachy candles play nicely with porcelain doll pumpkins, and a trail of spiders bring just the right amount of creep factor. (via @shopsweetlulu)

Pumpkin Risers
Cheap pumpkins turn into chic risers for a dessert table with a little spray paint and glue. And they can do it well before midnight. (via @mylittlewhitebarn)
Ouija Board Bookcase
Tuck an old Ouija board into a bookcase for some subtle spookiness. Bonus points for placing a stuffed raven in front of it. (via @lalunedesigns)
Haunted Hearth
This isn't for casual Halloween decorators, but if you're proficient in floral installations or not afraid to try one, let this showstopper inspire you. (via @andtheywentwild)
Gentleman Skeleton
While the most obvious takeaway from this scene is that dog skeletons exist, have you considered dressing up a human skeleton in a top hat and overcoat? It gives off an elevated, I-died-like-this look. (via @halloween+decor_)
Skull Vase
Dress up a table with this easy DIY. All you need a glass vase or jar, some Halloween candy, and a few mini skulls. Throw in a few glittery spiders for some creepy, crawly je ne sai qua. (via @halloween_decor_)

Drinkable Bubbling Cauldron
If you prefer your spooky punch without the dry ice (trust us — you do), put a glass container in the middle of a cauldron and surround it with dry ice. (via @barchemistry)
@genuinefred The perfect punch bowl addition 🦷🧛 #halloweenishere #halloween2022 #halloweeninspo #halloweendrinks #falldrinks #amazonfinds #fundrinkideas #amazonhalloween #halloweenmocktail #mocktailrecipe #cocktailrecipie #halloweenathome #halloweendiy
Teeth Ice Cubes
Nothing says gross but intentional like a pink set of teeth (and gums) inside your cocktail. (via @genuinefred)
