Tired of all this colorful and tasteless Halloween decor? Can’t see purple and green witch boots and hats anymore? No problem, I’ve prepared a bunch of chic and stylish Halloween ideas that aren’t spooky but elegant and chic and very adult-like.

Mantel Decor

Rock black and white for chic and modern decor: you can go for banners of various kinds, lanterns, googly eyes, faux birds and pumpkins that can be taken even in natural colors. Use matte black bottles as candle holders for black and gold candles.

Tablescapes And Dessert Tables

The tablescape can be made moody, it’s very trendy now: rock black, graphite grey, purple and navy. Add moody florals and greenery, copper or gold cutlery, black and gold pumpkins and black candles. Go for a black and white dessert table decorated with googly eyes, banners, glitter pumpkins and fresh greenery for a modern feel.

Pumpkins

Pumpkins are an indispensable part of every Halloween but that doesn’t mean you should go for faux blood, boring carving and other hacky stuff. Make constellation carving, decorate them with spikes, beads, pearls, fresh flowers and some simple words like ‘boo’, ‘spooky’ and other stuff like this. Make them look not scary but eye-catchy and chic.
