Best Halloween decorations for 2024
Glittery Bat Garland
- Buy now from Amazon (£15.73)
What’s a party without some glitter? This sparkly bat garland is simple yet jazzy and it's a solid choice if you’re looking for some quick and easy Halloween party inspiration. You thread the bats yourself, so if you enjoy arts and crafts, you're in luck!
This would work well on a window, or you could pin the garland to the ceiling so it hangs across the room. You could even display it across a table cloth when you're serving food at a party. Even if you're not hosting, they'd look great in your bedroom if you fancy adding a touch of Halloween glitz to your space.
Glass Pumpkin Decoration
- Buy now from Lights 4 Fun (£41.99)
If you fancy a stylish pumpkin this year, this classy display would make a gorgeous table centrepiece for a Halloween dinner party. You could nestle it amongst an autumn garland, or have it standing alone for a more minimalist look. The cute micro lights shine through the glass, making it a lovely alternative to traditional fairy lights. While it won't win you any pumpkin carving awards, you can use it year after year, and you don't have to get your hands dirty!
Light Up Happy Halloween Banner
If you're looking for a cute Halloween touch rather than a full-on zombie horror scene, this delightful bunting is a top choice... it'll instantly spruce up your Halloween party with its tasteful design! We love how versatile this bunting is - you can style it in the living room, over a fireplace, or even in a hallway so disguised guests can enjoy it as they walk through the door. It would also look great on the window so passing trick-or-treaters can see it when they're out and about collecting goodies - you can place it on a six hour timer, so it glows all through the evening!
Velvet Pumpkin Cushions
- Buy now from Etsy (£9.99)
If you’re a velvet fan, these fab pumpkin cushions are the perfect way to decorate your space this Halloween. The warm, rich colours lend themselves well to the chillier seasons of autumn and winter. Due to their stylish nature, they’re a fabulous addition if you’re looking to make an effort for Halloween, but don’t fancy going all out on the blood and gore. Combine them with a gorgeous autumnal wreath for a lovely way to welcome guests, rather than scare them away!
Bat Backdrop Fringe Decoration
This glamorous bat fringe wall feature is the perfect scary touch, and would work really well if you've got a plain wall in need of some spooky glamour. You could also hang it from a doorway for the ultimate guest entrance. As Halloween decorations go, it’s effective yet requires little effort, so it’s a winning choice if you’re looking to create a themed look in a hurry.

A fun way to add some ambience and character to your Halloween themed home, these tiny cute ghosts are bound to be a hit. The bendy yet sturdy wire makes them easy to shape, so you can place them in a position and location of your choice. You could wrap them up a banister or display them along open shelving in your living room.
Fairy lights are a wonderful addition to any room, for any occasion, whether you're having friends round, or enjoying a relaxing cuppa on your own, so if you're looking to add some Halloween lights to your collection, these are a top pick.

Skeleton Wall Art Poster
- Buy now from Etsy (£7.16)
We can't get enough of this quirky and funky skeleton print! It would look fabulous covered in fairy lights, or you could drape some artificial cobwebs over the top for a spooky feel. For non-Halloween décor and styling - because let's face it, it's far too nice to sit in a cupboard for 11 months of the year - you could pair it with dark, wooden furniture for a clean, sharp look, or you could add it to an eclectically styled room that's filled with small trinkets and unique finds for a busy, eclectic vintage inspired vibe.
Home Neon Bat Light
- Buy now from Amazon (£12.49)
Neon light displays are a fun way to add an edgy, funky look to a room. This bat shaped light is an easy way to give your space a sprinkling of spooky magic and thanks to its subtle design, you don't necessarily have to save it for Halloween. It would look charming in a bedroom on a bedside table, or you could display it on a windowsill for neighbours to enjoy when it gets dark.
3 Ghost Garden Stake Lights
- Buy now from Lights 4 Fun (£24.99)
These ghoulish garden stake lights are perfect for giving your porch a spooky seasonal makeover - simply insert 3 x AA batteries and their three eerie faces will be illuminated with a warm white glow. They're the perfect accessory for creating a scary spectacle to greet your trick or treaters with, and you can even put them on a timer so they come to life each night.

Halloween isn't halloween without a witches hat, and these 'floating' decorations are perfect for giving up the space above your dining table a spine-chilling twist.
