Get your home Halloween-ready with these 7 pumpkin-themed decorations
It’s just a little more than three weeks until Halloween and as the supermarket shelves are choc full with spooky-themed snack and sales in pumpkins increase, decorating your house shouldn’t fall short.
Black cats, witches and ghosts are all famous decorations, but nothing beats the one symbol everyone associates with Halloween: the carved pumpkin.
In celebration of the Jack O’ Lantern’s broad, creepy smile here are some of the best pumpkin-themed holiday decorations to fully kit out your home and give your Halloween party some pumpkin spice.
If Jack’s pumpkin patch smelt like this, Halloween Town may just be the place to be.
Pumpkin King Natural Scented Candle
Getting your home to smell the part is a big step towards creating the right, spooky atmosphere for your Halloween celebrations.
But we’re not talking rotting wood, flesh (ew!) or other unpleasantries – instead, go for this sweet, yet spicy candle, luring trick or treaters in with its scent of spooky woods, sweet pumpkin pie and just the slightest hint of candy.
Handcrafted in the UK and prices at £8.99 (€, $), the candles are available from OldGlowCandles on etsy.
If Christmas sweaters work, so should Halloween sweaters!
Salty Karrot’s Halloween Sweatshirt
Christmas sweaters are famous – so how come Halloween sweaters haven’t become an alternative for people not wanting to dress up?
This cozy model from Salty Karrot will not just keep you warm, whether you’re out trick or treating with you friends and family or just having a night in, but also ensures you’re looking spookily festive even without a costume.
Available through Salty Karrots’ Dawanda shop, the sweatshirt clocks in at €32.79 (£, $).
Pumpkin spice or not, these cutters and stamps turn any cookie dough into broadly-grinning Jack O’ Lanterns.
Snack O Lanterns Cookie Cutters
We can all agree that there’s no Halloween without sweets, so why not take a shot at treating friends – or the kids knocking on your door – to some homemade cookies?
Whether you add pumpkin spice to your dough or not, this cutter will help you create batches of delicious, pumpkin-shaped biscuits – and the set’s six stamps mean you can easily add the Jack O’ Lantern’s broad grin, too.
Available through Pink Sumo, the set is priced at £8.99 (€, $), with free delivery inside the UK.
These pumpkin ornaments are a bit more cheerful than your usual Halloween lantern…
Ceramic Pumpkin Nitelite
While carving pumpkins is fun (and often comes with the side-effect of being served some delicious soup), not everyone has the time or patience to make their own lantern.
Placed in your window, these (rather cheerful) ceramic ornaments will make it clear to everyone that you’re up for a good scare, even without a ‘real’ lantern, and draw in the costumed crowds.
Priced at £14.95 (€, $), the ceramic pumpkins are sold by Cloudberry Gifts.
They may not be pumpkin-shaped, but Lubylu’s hurricane lights can sure help conjure up the right atmosphere.
Halloween Lanterns
If you like to keep your Halloween pumpkin-shape free, yet still want to add something orange to your home, why not go with a more low-key, yet stylish addition to your decoration?
These hurricane lanterns, filled with pumpkin-orange sand, will fill your home with the sweet scent of Apple Danish pastries; despite the name, they’re indoors-use only thought and you should definitely not take them trick-or-treating with your wee ones!
Selling through Lubylu, these clock in at £15.00 (€, $).
Children and grown-ups will love these additions to your Halloween table.
Jack O’ Lantern Straws
What would a seasonal party be without matching, fun tableware?
These sparkly Jack O’ Lanterns pit into the current trend of vintage striped paper straws; add a sparkly pumpkin into the mix, and you have a cute and fun addition to any part table, be it for the kids or a more grown-up audience.
As they are white on the reverse, it’s also an easy way to prevent glass-mix-ups by simply writing names on the backs.
Available from etsy-seller ConfettiDays, a set of 12 clocks in at £4.25 (€, $).
Whether you like it quirky or cool, this black and orange table runner fits into every home.
Black and Orange Table Runner
Dressing your table in style is just as much part of Halloween as making sure you’ve got enough candy to greet anyone ringing your doorbell.
The simple color scheme and delicate pattern mean it doesn’t just fit the occasion, but can be combined with nearly any interior color scheme and style, from low-key neutrals to colorful homes.
Priced at £6.72 (€, $), the runner is available from MadHatter Party Box via etsy.
