The month of October, also known as spooky season, is the perfect time to give your bedroom a makeover. You may have previously spring-cleaned your bedroom, hyped it up for the holidays<\/a>, or winterized it for the cold weather months\u2014but what about fall? 

If you need some Halloween bedroom ideas, we’ve got plenty. Whether for adults or kids, these Halloween bedroom decor ideas are perfect for every ghost and ghoul in your household and are bound to be boo-tiful as well as spooktacular!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween bedroom ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Add a dash of drama<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anika Tarasiewicz, an interior designer in NYC and Founder and CEO of CRAFT by Anika<\/a>, loves decorating for major holidays like Christmas and Halloween. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHalloween is the perfect excuse to bring in something playful,\u201d says Tarasiewicz. \u201cA velvet throw<\/a> in deep purple or black, or even a shiny satin pillowcase, can give the room a theatrical, slightly mysterious feel without needing a single ghost or pumpkin.\u201d

If you prefer something a little less dramatic, Brittney Luedecke, a Texas-based designer and owner of Signature Styles by Brit<\/a>, suggests skipping the black, which can be harsh, and going for muted oranges, blush pinks, and cream tones for a more refined Halloween vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create a Halloween tablescape in the bedroom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tablescapes aren’t just for the dining room table. \u201cIf you have a dresser, nightstand<\/a>, or vanity, treat it like a mini stage,\u201d suggests Tarasiewicz. \u201cAdd a Halloween-themed fabric runner, a few small pumpkins, a candle or two, maybe even a plastic skull or a set of goblets for dramatic effect.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part? None of it has to match. That’s all part of the fun when thinking of Halloween-themed bedroom ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re decorating at the last minute or on a budget, Tarasiewicz says to check the seasonal aisle at your local pharmacy. \u201cI have found the cutest mini pumpkins, skull figurines, and even Halloween window clings while picking up toothpaste,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Hang up some string lights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hanging up string lights is a super simple Halloween bedroom decorating idea, says Tarasiewicz. Look for orange and purple LEDs for a fun seasonal effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some perfect spots to use string twinkle lights are wrapped around the headboard of the bed and around mirrors or windows to give off that eerie glow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to add something besides string lights, Luedecke recommends hanging mini garland complete with bats, ghosts, or pumpkins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you’re at it, add some fake spider webs to add to the Halloween vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Have fun with frames<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTemporarily replacing a framed photo with a Halloween print or vintage postcard is an easy way to shift the energy in the room,\u201d says Tarasiewicz. \u201cKids love seeing their artwork in frames, so let them paint or draw something spooky and hang it proudly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also check out your local craft store to see if they have some spooky framed wall art, which they usually do, she adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Include throw pillows that hint at Halloween<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Add a stack of seasonal throw pillows to your bedroom to encourage the Halloween vibes. \u201cInstead of cartoony prints, try textured pillows in deep fall colors like burnt orange, olive, or even black velvet,\u201d shares Tarasiewicz. \u201cFor adults, it feels seasonal without feeling costume-y.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luedecke suggests velvet pumpkins or embroidered ghosts to give a cozy, seasonal touch. You can even take throw pillows one step further and make a\u00a0bedscape<\/a>. Great spots for throw pillows go beyond the bed as well. Think of spaces like\u00a0bedroom benches and ottomans<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Keep a small sweet treat dish nearby<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sweet treats have a spot in the bedroom, not just Halloween trick-or-treat bags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether it is candy corn, Halloween-themed wrapped chocolates, or caramels, a small dish of Halloween candy on a nightstand or dresser just feels festive and is a must-have in our home,\u201d mentions Tarasiewicz. \u201cIt is one of those details that makes you smile every time you see it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just skip eating a handful of candy right before bedtime<\/a> because it can interfere with your sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Layer textures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re looking to create a Halloween\u00a0bedscape\u00a0or have a big, cozy, comfy chair you want to decorate for the season, Luedecke recommends incorporating layered textures.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUse chunky knit blankets or faux fur throws in deep fall tones to create a cozy, moody atmosphere,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Play with shadows and movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have some Halloween bats and ghosts lying around, then you have can create a Halloween-inspired bedroom pretty easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHang paper bats or floating witch hats from the ceiling using fishing wire,\u201d suggests Tarasiewicz. \u201cWatch the magic happen as they catch the light just right and add a little movement, which is especially fun when the fan is on or the window is open, catching a chilly fall breeze.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Sample scents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scents<\/a> are another easy item to add to your list of Halloween-themed bedroom ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA diffuser<\/a> with clove or cinnamon oil can change the whole feel of a room, and it smells so yummy,\u201d says Tarasiewicz. \u201cIn kids\u2019 rooms<\/a>, I skip candles and go for wax warmers or essential oils<\/a> instead.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luedecke also recommends fall scents like cedarwood, pumpkin chai, and spiced apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Use whimsical decor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
