A Little Hocus Pocus

Halloween Entryway Décor Ideas

Minimal signs with quotes embrace the fun of Halloween but can still blend with a clean and classic entryway decor, like this “Hocus Pocus” one. A similar look can also be achieved by using two matching frames filled with Halloween prints placed on an enrtyway table. While it won’t have the texture of these stunners, if you ever tire of Halloween art, you can swap out the images and keep the frames—which can be cheaper than buying new signs.

Bright orange is not only one of Halloween’s signature colors, it’s also perfect for adding contrast and energy to an entryway. Worried about this bold tone looking too harsh?

Cozy Vintage Halloween

Halloween Entryway Décor Ideas

One of the best ways to avoid cookie-cutter Halloween entrance décor is to shop vintage and second-hand. It is not only an environmentally friendly way to decorate, but you can score a lot of unique finds at great prices. Plus, if you see something you like in a color that you don’t vibe with, paint is always an option! The pumpkins in this vintage vignette got a chic refresh with some chalk paint.

How to Decorate an Entryway Table for Halloween

This Halloween entryway uses a branch-filled vase, a glass pumpkin, dual frames, and black candlesticks to create contrast and height variation. And you can’t miss the birds and bats, which add an extra dose of intrigue and whimsy! When styling a Halloween entryway table, try placing tall and large pieces down first and working around them. Don’t have tall Halloween décor on hand? You can always extend the height of shorter décor by placing them on a stack of books or a riser.
