Playing Make Believe with Halloween Entryway Décor

One fun way to decorate your entryway for Halloween is to pretend someone else lives in your home. It could be a mad scientist, a hungry werewolf, or in this case, a witch. This spooky entrance uses a hanging broom and witch hat, fake spiders, webs, distressed wall art, and small, spooky touches to make it look like a witch lives there.

This scary display is one that most husbands can relate to. I’m pretty sure that this guy is waiting for his wife to get ready so they can leave. Unfortunately, it looks like he’s been waiting a while! The display is finished off with a “Spooky” sign and a black and white pumpkin for a minimalist effect.

These hats not only look super neat, but they don’t take up a lot of space—perfect for homes with limited floor or table space in their entryway. Plus, it’s super simple to put together. Pointy hats and fishing lines are all it takes to add some invisible, flying witches to your home.

Let the Bats Lead the Way

You can use an arrangement of bats to lead the eye to a piece of entryway décor that is higher on the wall, such as this “Trick or Treat” sign. This idea will make your display feel more fluid and expansive.

The three witches that live here clearly have killer style! If you’re looking for a fun or sophisticated way to add Halloween style to your entryway, you can’t go wrong with wooden sign art. They come in endless sizes and designs, and you can even make your own Halloween farmhouse art if you’re feeling crafty! The look is finished with bats flying out of a small black cauldron next to the bench, adding height to the display.

Halloween Entryway Décor for the Wall

While this side table’s pumpkins, fall vase, and Halloween bunting are arranged beautifully, it is the soft orange wall art that really makes this ensemble come to life. Try swapping out some entryway art with Halloween wall art for a significant impact!

Side Table Halloween Art

If you don’t want to hang signs on the wall, smaller Halloween signs look amazing sitting on entryway side tables. Group two signs together with a similar color scheme but different designs to create visual interest.

A Little Hocus Pocus

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.

Another option is to use a chalkboard as a Halloween wall decor. You can change the design as often as you like, which makes it a piece of Halloween entryway décor to use year-round! To make your own, you can paint a smooth board or old framed art with chalkboard paint.

A Pop of Halloween Elegance

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? Pair it with light neutrals and use soft accessories, such as throw blankets and pillows, or décor with flowy curves, like a floral fall wreath or a stack of pumpkins.

Neutral Halloween Entryway Décor

Bright colors aren’t necessary to infuse an entryway with the feel of Halloween. A few black and white pumpkin-themed items are integrated into a neutral fall entryway.

Going Batty for White Pumpkins

White pumpkins tend to have a softer and more sophisticated look compared to their orange counterparts. You can get real ones or faux ones to use year after year. Prefer another color? Paint your pumpkins to get your perfect hue, from soft pastel tints to glimmering metallics.

Black & White Plaid

Fall is the season for plaid. And black and white plaid is terrific for Halloween décor. It can be woven into strictly neutral color palettes but also pairs well with funky Halloween décor that uses bold shades like bright orange, green, or purple.

Farmhouse Entryway Bench

Cozy Vintage Halloween

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

Photo: jaci.daily

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.

Creating Halloween Vignettes

When styling a longer Halloween side table, try to work in vignettes. Breaking up the big picture into smaller pieces can make the project feel less daunting and narrow down what parts are looking off.
