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.

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.

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.

21 Picturesque Ideas for Shiplap Around Windows

Installing shiplap around windows can take on many varieties in our modern interior design landscape using beadboard or horizontal paneling. Shiplap is known for its wide white horizontal boards that have taken on a power all its own over the modern farmhouse aesthetic within the last 10 years. It was especially popular in rooms with exposed windows with sufficient light sources. Most windows that exist on a shiplapped wall will have blinds, sheer curtains, or no coverings at all so that the paneling can be on full display.
We’ve gathered the best examples of shiplap around windows here, so pay close attention to the various spaces in a home where shiplap can be displayed, including dining rooms, sunrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways. This timeless feature can be applied almost anywhere, and you’ll even see how centuries-old homes used this styling and how it has been applied today for a modern update. You can’t go wrong with this classic and crisp trend!

25 Cozy and Chic Ottoman in Front of Fireplace Ideas

No place on earth rivals the coziness of being perched on an ottoman in front of a fireplace. The variable sizes and shapes of ottomans make them the perfect accessory to go alongside any fireplace. Choose a couple of cube ottomans for a smaller fireplace or a more obvious bench style for fireplaces with a larger frame to make your living room an oasis of warmth.
You may find that there is not always room for a coffee table and an ottoman or that they simply cannot coexist. Luckily, ottomans aren’t just for seating. They are multi-purpose pieces that can double as coffee tables with a more cushioned frame. You may even find that you prefer these pieces to a coffee table once you see how stylish they look when topped with a tray of accessories.
Finding the perfect pieces for your living room depends on the space size and style, so explore all your options when searching for the perfect ottoman to sit beside your fireplace, even if they are a little quirky!
