If you want your Halloween decor to feel fresh and stylish—without breaking the bank—then a floral Halloween centerpiece should definitely be on your radar. By changing out your centerpiece each year, you can breathe new life into staples like tablecloths, table runners, charger plates, and napkins. It is a great alternative to switching out your whole display annually, which can be both costly and unkind to the environment.

So how do you create the perfect Halloween floral centerpiece? First, decide what look you’re going for. Do you prefer something with a classic spook factor that is inherently Halloweeny? Or do you want something more understated and sophisticated that can effortlessly flow into Thanksgiving? If you’re not sure, that’s okay! The collection below has it all. There are Halloween floral centerpieces ideas that range from elegant pumpkin spreads to floating witch hats that will make you feel like you have some invisible dinner guests.

Dressing up for Halloween isn’t just for people—it’s for your decor too! And creating a Halloween floral centerpiece is the perfect way to usher in this spooky season.

Repurposed Halloween Floral Centerpiece

It looks like Mr. Skeleton has quite the taste for wine! Good thing he has a flair for creativity, too. He repurposed empty wine bottles as a Halloween centerpiece by spray painting them black. I love the extra layer of fun the bottle centerpiece adds to this dining room while not competing with the other decor. If you’re not a wine drinker, the same effect can be achieved by spray painting any type of glass or plastic bottle—oil bottles, drinking bottles, etc.

If you are going for an elaborate Halloween centerpiece, like shown above, try to stick to a color palette of 3-4 colors. A minimal color scheme can help ensure large Halloween centerpieces look curated and not cluttered.

Fall foliage in a vase is a beautiful alternative to flowers. If you’re worried about bringing bugs into the house with real foliage, fake leaves look just as stunning. Try using skeleton leaves or stringing some faux spiderwebs between the foliage if you’re going for a spooky aesthetic.

17 Vertical Tile Backsplash Ideas to Accent Your Space

Backsplash is one of the easiest ways to infuse character into the kitchen. There are various features to consider — from material to color, finish, and of course, pattern. Horizontal backsplash is perhaps the most common tile pattern, often seen with classic subway tiles or shiplap. Vertical backsplash, on the other hand, doesn’t tend to get as much love.

The style, however, has lots of benefits. The slimmer profile looks particularly striking and can create a unique statement, whether it’s glossy emerald tiles coating an entire wall or a satisfying neutral ombre effect above the stove. Not to mention, vertical tiles draw the eye upward for the illusion of a higher ceiling. This can make a space feel more open and spacious. You can even customize the color of your grout to make the tiles pop — or feel more subtle. Curious how it looks? Check out these vertical backsplash ideas for inspiration.

30 All-Drawer Lower Kitchen Cabinets for Extra Style

When it comes to the kitchen, having ample storage is key. From bulky pots to precarious stacks of Tupperware, certain accessories can become eyesores if they don’t have a designated home. So, it’s important to be discerning with your drawers, as they are one of the pricier investments you’ll make in a kitchen remodel.

Lower drawers, in particular, are helpful, as they allow items to be easily within reach rather than reaching on tip-toe and teetering when reaching for higher-level cabinets. Plus, you don’t have to stick your head in to find items; the drawers pull open to you. From color to wood type to hardware and even features like soft-closing and paneling, there are endless ways to make your all-drawer lower kitchen cabinets complement your space and personal style.
