30 Indoor Halloween Decor Ideas That Will Transform Your Space

As soon as October rolls around each year, you may find that you're immediately whisked away into the realm of pumpkin-spiced lattes and idyllic Instagram photos of autumn leaves. You might also find yourself ready for the spooky silliness and freaky fun that comes along with Halloween. If that's the case, then you'll surely be eager to turn your porch into a Pinterest-worthy fall-inspired space as well as fill your front yard with Halloween décor. At the same time, you may also want to bring the seasonal vibe inside of your home.

As for getting started with your Halloween décor, there are plenty of options when it comes to the overall style. For instance, you could opt for something that's more mature and elegant or something that'll be super silly, according to The Times Herald. Beyond that, you might prefer a setup that's not too in-your-face or, on the other hand, your taste might lean toward the eye-catching, impressive, and dramatic. Of course, you'll also need to decide on whether or not your decorations will be appropriate for little ones and those who are easily scared or if you'd rather opt for décor that would suit a nightmarish horror movie.

With all of that in mind, be sure to check out the following indoor Halloween décor ideas that'll transform the inside of your into the perfect seasonal space.

A skull is certainly creepy all on its own, however, an entire human skeleton — which is, of course, totally fake — will definitely make a scary statement when it comes to your Halloween décor. As silly or as horrific as you prefer, you could have your skeleton simply sitting on a sofa or lurking in a shadow-filled corner.

If you adore a seasonably appropriate wreath, then you might want one on more than just your front door. Instead, you can put up another wreath inside of your home. As big or as small as your room allows, you could buy a pre-made wreath or make one with twigs and leaves or perhaps little ghosts and spiders.

A craft that you can do alone or with kids, all you need to do is crumple a tissue or piece of paper into a ball. Then drape another tissue or piece of paper over the first to create a ghost. Add them all to a string and hang them up as part of your Halloween décor.

If you shy away from scary decorations and prefer pretty Halloween décor, then you might want to add fall flower arrangements to your home. While any orange, red, black, and yellow flowers would do the trick, there are plenty of fall flowers you could choose from such as chrysanthemums, dianthus, and black-eyed Susans, according to Costa Farms.

Turn your indoor space into an area that has a fun seasonal vibe or is ready for a Halloween party by adding a banner. You could choose one that features spooky animal shapes like spiders or black cats, or you could also have a banner that boasts pumpkins, ghosts, or a black and orange "Happy Halloween" message.

When Halloween rolls around, you could certainly turn the entire interior of your home into what looks like a haunted house. However, if that's a little too much for you, then opting to add mini haunted houses to your rooms is a spooky alternative. These ones allow you to add candles that light up the homes' windows.

A ghost may be a dead spirit, but you can bring your ghostly decoration to life by placing a (heat-resistant and non-flammable) fabric figure over a lamp or light fixture. Along with the fact that the lamp will help to hold the ghost up and give it shape, the light will also give your ghost an eerie glow.

When used for magic, potions may promise to bring you love or riches along with a range of other desirable outcomes. On the other hand, when you mix up a few potions, you can use them as a part of your Halloween decorations. Simply find interesting jars in different shapes and sizes before filling them with colorful liquids.

If you eagerly await Halloween every year, then you might appreciate something that helps you keep track of how close it is. These blocks allow you to turn them around as needed in order to display the month and day. Acting like a calendar of sorts, it also has a "Halloween" block that indicates the special day.

Halloween might be a spooky time of year, but it's also a season that's filled with wondrous costumes, spellbinding tales, and otherworldly experiences. Capture that kind of magical ambiance by putting twinkly lights up around your room. While they'll give your home an eerie glow during the day, the light will be even more enchanting at night.

Give your indoor Halloween decorations a chic twist by using gold pumpkins. Best to use fake pumpkins that won't rot, you could spray paint plastic pumpkins to achieve the look you want. Place them by a window that lets in a lot of sunshine or put them directly under a lamp in order to make the pumpkins shine.

While wine bottles might not be an obvious addition to your indoor Halloween décor, they can truly transform into something that gives off a creepy vibe when used as candleholders. The more wax from the candles that drips down on the bottles, the better — and creepier. They'll look especially so when the candles are lit and flickering.

Pretend that you're whipping up a powerful brew or simply add a witchy touch to your Halloween décor by placing a cauldron in your home. If you're lucky enough to have access to a large cast-iron cauldron, then you can put that out on display. Otherwise, you can use a fake plastic version of any size.

Real cobwebs may not be something that you want to see around your home during the majority of the year, however, fake cobwebs can add just the right amount of creepiness to your interior Halloween décor. String them along your fireplace mantle, drape them across your walls, and have them hanging down from the door frame.

Gourds are something that's harvested and sold around the Halloween season, which is ideal, considering the fact that some tend to look like tiny pumpkins. Of course, gourds also come in a wide range of other weird and wonderful shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns that you'll love to have in your home during the month of October.
