- Use a black table runner or velvet throw.
Spooky accents
- Perch faux crows on books and candlesticks.
- Fill apothecary jars with dark candy or moss.
- Add dried branches in a black vase.
- Display a cloche over a skull or curiosity.
Pumpkins and glow
- Group heirloom pumpkins in muted tones.
- Paint small pumpkins matte black.
- Line up LED taper candles in brass holders.
- Wrap a garland of fairy lights through the branches.
Finishing the entryway
- Add a spooky print or vintage portrait.
- Put a small witch hat on a stack of books.
- Place a lantern by the door.
- Keep a candy bowl within easy reach for trick-or-treaters.
Tip: Use LED candles near cobwebs, dried branches and paper decor because they are highly flammable, keep the walkway clear of trailing cords, and choose stretchy faux cobwebs with care as they can tangle pets and small birds.
