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 four of my favorites:

• Print spooky 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!)
• Create a photo collage of past family Halloween costumes and display it on your entryway

I hope you enjoyed this round-up of cheap and clsasy Halloween decor as much as I enjoyed compiling them!

Couple and Dog Halloween Costume 2023 – Sushi, Soy Sauce & Sushi Chef

Halloween was a bittersweet memory for me last year. In September, we suffered a miscarriage (our first baby) and we were completely devastated.

I’d been so excited for Halloween because I was planning on dressing up the bump.

Plus, I wanted to make our Halloween costumes our official pregnancy announcement to family and friends.

Alas, it didn’t happen and I almost cancelled Halloween altogether.

As sad as I was, I didn’t want to stop our family tradition.

I didn’t want to miss this opportunity with our senior dog who was suffering from heart failure.

I didn’t have much time to think of a new plan because I was so fixated on a different costume.

Luckily, I found this simple sushi family Halloween costume DIY tutorial and it worked out perfectly!

Our Halloween costumes

My soy sauce costume is literally the easiest. All you need is a plain black t-shirt and black skirt / pants.

My husband followed the tutorial above to make my hat and the soy sauce label, which I stuck on my shirt.

Every year, I try not to spend a ton on our Halloween costumes.

This year was no different and we only bought four things:

• My husband’s sushi chef jacket
• A white apron
• A Japanese head band
• Our dog’s sushi costume

Couple and Dog Halloween Costume 2022 – Colonel Sanders, KFC Bucket & KFC Fried Chicken

This KFC troupe ensemble has to be our favourite Halloween costume of all time.

Our little family loves KFC, so this costume was a no-brainer!

Right away, I knew my husband would be Colonel Sanders, I would be the KFC bucket and our dog would naturally make the BEST fried chicken.

Our Halloween costumes

As always, I pulled the base outfits from our wardrobes.

My husband will never wear a white suit, so it didn’t make sense for us to purchase it.

In the end, he wore a regular white shirt and black slacks. To make the costume stand out, we added a red apron and used a black ribbon for the bowtie.

To complete the look, he put on a pair of fake glasses and used baby powder all over his hair and face.

I burst out laughing as soon as I saw his final look. He did SO good!

I wore a black tee and a pair of black pants because I wanted to draw attention to the KFC bucket, which my husband DIY-ed.

I don’t have a tutorial for it, but it’s super simple. All you need are:

• 1 KFC logo print out
• 2 large pieces of white card stock
• 1 large piece of red card stock
• 1 piece of white foam sheet (for the straps)
• Tape
• Scissors

My dog’s bone was made from leftover card stock, which we attached to her collar.

It took my husband less than 30 minutes to work on all of our costumes, so I’d say this family Halloween costume is an easy great last-minute option.

(Excuse our bare feet, we took these photos at home where we have a no shoes inside the home policy!)

Couple and Dog Halloween Costume 2021 – Joe Exotic, Carole Baskins, and a little lion

In 2021, my husband and I drew inspiration from a popular reality TV series on Netflix called “Tiger King.”

The Netflix series launched in March 2020, and we spent a good chunk of our time during lockdown binge-watching it.

If you’ve never watched it before, I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a good laugh.

Some of the main characters are so crazy – I can’t believe they’re REAL!

As you can see, my husband dressed up as Joe Exotic whereas I dressed up as Carole Baskin.

Granted these two characters are mortal enemies in real life, but I guess they’re a happily married couple in our world haha!

And, of course, the biggest star, our dog Chuubs was dressed up as a cute lion cub. Picture perfect!

Our Halloween costumes

As usual, we wanted to keep our costumes as budget-friendly as possible.

My husband wore his jeans and borrowed my cap.

All we had to get was a blonde wig and a leopard print shirt.

My husband doesn’t have a goatee but he took my eyeliner and drew a fairly realistic one on his face. How creative!

Thankfully, I already owned an animal-print dress, so all I needed was a flower crown and a wig.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a similar wig that could ship in time.

But thanks to my husband, I’m sure most people could figure out our Halloween costumes!

Our dog already looks like the cutest little lion with her original fur colour.

All she needed was a lion mane – I couldn’t find the same shade at the time, so we settled for this. I still think she pulled it off!

Couple and Dog Halloween Costume 2020 – Chefs and a lobster

Our first time dressing up for Halloween was in 2020.

Believe it or not, this was our first couple’s Halloween costume after 7 years of being together!

Thanks to the pandemic, we were stuck at home and wanted something fun to do. While doing my research, I stumbled upon Emma’s chef, butter, and lobster family costume on her blog.

I knew right away that I had to replicate the best couple and dog Halloween costume.

Our Halloween costumes

My goal is to keep all of our costumes affordable and reusable.

So, I opted for chef hats and matching aprons instead of the standard chef’s uniform.

We didn’t know we were wearing our hats wrongly until we took these photos.

Clearly we’re not professional chefs, but hey, we tried!

The pièce de résistance for this family Halloween costume is definitely our dog’s lobster costume.

Isn’t it the cutest thing you’ve ever laid eyes on?!

Styling the set

Styling the set was so much fun because we drew inspiration from Luke’s lobster shack in New York.

We used everything we found in our kitchen and pantry to emulate an actual lobster shack. The list includes:

• A chopping block
• A large pot
• Seasoning e.g. salt and pepper
• Fresh fruit and vegetables e.g. lemon and chillis
• A signboard to welcome our non-existent customers (ha!)

Feel free to also add:

• Fresh herbs e.g. rosemary and thyme
• Seasoning e.g. paprika and garlic powder
• Tableware e.g plates and bowls

For someone who had very limited time to pull it off, I’m pretty pleased with how it all came together.

Let me know which couple and dog Halloween costume is your favourite!
