As one of the most-awaited holidays of the year, Halloween also means prepping your home in time for the season. From vintage dark academia to bright orange colors, there are tons of Halloween coffee table décor ideas that you can explore to make this holiday more festive.

Since it takes place in the autumn season, there are several fall elements that you can also incorporate in your decoration such as foliage, florals, wheat, and different varieties of produce. However, to make it truly aligned with the Halloween theme, you can also fill your vignettes with spookier and quirkier items such as skulls, bones, vintage books, pumpkins, spiders, jack o’ lanterns, and witchy dolls. In terms of color scheme, you can stick to a neutral color palette such as white and beige, be colorful with black, orange, and gray, experiment with other colors, or make use of patterns such as tartan, gingham, and plaid in decorating your table.

Here are great Halloween coffee table décor ideas that will inspire you to create an eye-catching focal point in your living room.

The haystack underneath brings texture to the smooth pumpkins and serves as a runner that completes the composition.

Balance out spooky by selecting a classic black and white color scheme for your Halloween coffee table décor. Here, the colors are distributed evenly to the various decorations to create contrasting pairings. The first grouping features a black pumpkin container placed on top of a stack of white books and matched with white candlesticks and a black spider décor. The white skull on top of striped books placed inside a wicker basket makes up another grouping. With the two groups arranged in proximity to each other, they created a layered setup with different visual interests.

Achieve an aesthetically pleasing focal point on your coffee table by playing with heights, texture, and color scheme. In this example, the large gray vase serves as the visual anchor, which is then accentuated by smaller decorative pieces such as these orange and gray pumpkins and a black spider. The mini-topiary gives a nice color contrast to the gray-black-orange color scheme while the “Trick or Treat” board provides a transitional height that visually connects the tall vase to the smaller decors. The black wooden tray helps keep the décor organized.

B&W Tiered Tray

Tiered trays are a fun way to incorporate different types of Halloween coffee table décor in one vignette. The topmost level of the wooden tray features a witch’s hat, white pumpkins, and a glass container. Meanwhile, the second level is filled with gingham patterned pumpkin, a spider, a white pumpkin, and a “Happy Haunting” board while the lowest part is decorated with pumpkins, glass containers, books, florals, and a spider. To make an entire setup like this coherent, choose several elements that will anchor the pieces together. In this case, the consistent color palette, and use of pumpkins, spiders, and similar fonts for each level, make the vignette appear whole instead of segmented.

11 Things You Need To Know Before Painting Doors Black

Sophisticated, stunning, and striking are all words that come to mind when I think of black doors. This dramatic hue fits perfectly with a classic or traditional style, elevates modern and contemporary dwellings, and adds a unique update to farmhouse design. Black doors are often associated with strength, power, and opportunity, which makes them a popular choice on so many levels (certapro.com/blog/residential/front-door-color-meanings/#::text=When used to paint front,connected to stillness and wealth).

I’m a proponent of making a statement from the front door that lets visitors know what to expect when they enter your home. Continuing black doors throughout your home is a phenomenal strategy to create continuity and flow throughout your home. But it doesn’t have to stop there! Black trim, accent pieces, and furniture can help achieve a similar look depending on your style and taste. Don’t believe me? Then, check out this sensational gallery of homes with black doors below and get ready to be impressed.

Do I Need a Formal Dining Room, or Is It a Waste of Space?

When my husband and I were purchasing our first home, my mother-in-law asked me whether or not I would miss having a formal dining room. Considering it was just the two of us then, the answer was a resounding “No!” After all, I was not about to host grand dinner parties or family gatherings, and we had plenty of family to visit for holidays and celebrations. And unfortunately, our budget did not stretch to a large enough home to include a separate dining room.

Fast-forward six years, and my answer may have changed. Now, with two kids, we’re much more likely to host family gatherings, and having a large, separate area would be a dream. Many of our readers and contributors agree with me, while others find that a larger kitchen serves the same function with more connectivity (jjonesdesignco.com/blogs/the-great-debate-open-concept-vs-traditional-floor-plans). If you’re unsure where your opinion lies, read on for the best advice and insights our readers can offer. You may find you end up changing your mind after seeing what they have to say!
