5 easy steps to create a chic Halloween vibe with cheap and classy Halloween decor
Choose a specific space at home to decorate
Decorating for Halloween can be overwhelming, especially if you’re trying to emulate what you see on social media.
It’s extremely easy to get carried away and have a million ideas and spend hundreds of dollars.
If you have a limited budget, start small. You don’t have to decorate every corner in your home!
Choose a specific space at home to decorate – popular spots include mantels, entryways, living areas, dining areas, and porches.
With that said, don’t limit yourself to these conventional locations though.
I’ve seen people get creative and decorate their laundry rooms, bar carts, and kitchens!
Plan your Halloween theme with 1-2 key features in mind
Before shopping for Halloween decor, it is important to decide on your Halloween theme.
If you have a tight budget, pick one or two key features for your theme.
The more common your theme is, the more affordable decor options you’ll find.
Common Halloween themes include pumpkins, skeletons, spiders, skulls, bats, ghosts, witches etc.
Keep it simple and focused
The key to creating a chic Halloween vibe is to keep it simple and focused.
Too many ideas will clutter the space, which will generate less impact.
Focus on the key features from your theme and build a story around them.
For instance, if your theme revolves around witches, witch hats and broomsticks work great as the primary props featured.
Use existing decor at home
Believe it or not, but some of the best Halloween decor are regular objects hiding in plain sight in your home.
These everyday items can elevate your Halloween decor: books, plants, mirrors, perfume bottles, alcohol bottles, and trays.
In my home, I used my thriller books to add height to my other props. I also planted faux spiders among the vases and candles to create a realistic creepy environment.
Finally, I used our felt board to create a funny Halloween pun because, why not?
Get creative with cheap Halloween decor hacks
Statement Halloween decor can be costly, but there are plenty of cheap Halloween decor hacks you can try for your home.
Here are three of my favourites:
- Print spooky images or quotes and insert them in photo frames around the house
- Search “Halloween TV art” on Youtube and get FREE Halloween art displayed instantly on your TV
- Upcycle empty glass bottles into evil potions by printing and sticking your own creepy apothecary labels (which you can make on Canva!)
