Halloween has had a reputation for tacky and cheesy decor that gets tossed after a few weeks at home. We’re here to give it a rebrand. Just root it in decor that helps you host, or that you’re happy to leave on display a couple of days past October 31.
We like to take any holiday as an opportunity to take things to the next level with an upscale approach, and All Hallows' Eve is no different. Lean into those ghoulishly glamorous pieces that you'll want to keep out all year long, like a two-headed snake mirror. We found 20 elegant Halloween decorations that walk the line between eerie and elegant.
The best way to decorate with a classy Halloween in mind is to simplify the design. Buy items like gourds and pumpkins in white, green, orange, and various sizes. Be sure to decorate with seasonal florals and a wreath that can be used for a few months. Think ceramic pumpkins, gilded skeleton tableware, and accents that celebrate fall flora, not just the ghosts and goblins.
