26 Halloween Living Room Decor Ideas That Are So Good, They Might Summon the HOA (and a Few Ghosts) in 2025
In 2025, Halloween decor is getting the full living room takeover. We’re talking velvet pumpkins lounging on brutalist coffee tables, skulls styled like objets d’art, black taper candles dripping wax onto antique trays, and portraits that blink when no one’s watching. Throw in cobweb-draped sconces, haunted-house lighting, and a fake raven that looks like it pays rent? You’ve nailed it.
These 26 Halloween living room decor ideas are spooky, cinematic, and styled like a horror movie directed by a minimalist with a shopping addiction. No dollar-store kitsch. Just cursed elegance.

1. Neutral Coven Vibes
This space is what happens when a Pinterest witch throws a sleepover. Floating hats, brooding spiders, and the Sanderson sisters casting spells on-screen. It’s beige, it’s black, it’s candlelit perfection.
Also, those white pumpkins? Dead. This is minimalist Halloween done right—spooky without screaming, “I bought out HomeGoods.”
2. Gothic Mirrorball
There’s a literal skeleton in this living room and somehow it’s serving more style than half the guests at your last dinner party. Mirror layering? Obsessed. Antique gold? Always.
It’s haunted house, but sexy. Like if Beetlejuice grew up and got into French antiques.
3. Classy Witch’s Lounge
She plays piano, makes her own cider, and probably hosts tarot readings on Tuesdays. That’s the energy here. Everything’s styled like a grown-up fall fantasy: check the cauldron centerpiece, those velvet pumpkins, and warm flickers everywhere.
Cozy, a little mysterious, and 100% the place you’d want to crash after apple-picking.
4. Chaos Pumpkin Kingdom
No theme. No restraint. Just pure Halloween chaos and honestly? We love to see it. Pumpkins are everywhere, leaves are raining from the ceiling, and it looks like Halloween exploded in the best possible way.
It’s nostalgic, it’s loud, it’s unapologetically festive. If October had a throne room, this is it.
5. Fairytale Overdose
This room is like drinking five pumpkin spice lattes and running through a Halloween theme park. Floating witch hats in Crayola brights, a foggy cauldron, candy-colored chaos.
It’s not here to be chill. It’s here to slap you in the face with Halloween joy.
6. Monochrome Haunted Dollhouse
If Morticia Addams decorated for Halloween in a soft-filtered Instagram world, it’d look like this. Black and white everything, creepy-cute ghosts, and a skull with more attitude than most influencers.
It’s sharp, styled, and not for the faint of heart (or color lovers).
7. Whisper-Spooky
This is what it looks like when Halloween gets a therapist and some soft lighting. Bats around the clock, a couple of subtle ghosts, moody flowers. Chic. Minimal. Ghostcore?
It’s the kind of setup that whispers “boo” instead of shouting it—and sometimes that’s even creepier.
8. PSL Living Room Energy
This is the warm hug of Halloween decor. Chunky throws, ghost pillows, pumpkin lanterns, and that woodsy Target-scented candle feeling. If fall was a living room, she lives here and drinks her cider hot.
Safe? Yes. Basic? Maybe. But undeniably cozy.
9. Halloween Maxed Out
Every square inch of this room is SCREAMING. From the “SPOOKY” pillow parade to the Halloween tree to the jack-o’-lanterns stacked like it’s decor Jenga, it’s pure dopamine.
This isn’t a living room—it’s a haunted sleepover with candy corn for dinner.
10. Rustic Witch Nest
Think cottagecore got hexed. You’ve got burlap banners, spider garlands, string lights, and enough skulls to keep things interesting. It’s laid-back, lived-in, and just a little wicked.
This is what happens when a plant mom crosses over to the dark side—and we’re here for it.
11. Maximalist Magic
If Halloween were a confetti cannon, it would explode into this room. A riot of color and kitschy charm, @aww.sam brings retro energy with floral ’70s prints, candy-colored pumpkins, and cheeky ghost décor that feels straight out of a pastel horror comedy. It’s campy, bold, and honestly just plain joyful.
This is not your moody October moment—it’s sunshine, sequins, and skeletons in party hats. And that green floral couch? Icon status. This space doesn’t whisper Halloween, it sings it with jazz hands.
12. Minimal Gothic Chill
A skeleton chilling on a rocker. Black-and-white pillows with a wink of chevron. And those little bone critters marching across the coffee table like they own the place—@ashanging’s space leans into a clean, graphic mood that feels a little bit haunted house, a little bit cool art loft.
It’s proof you don’t need a pile of pumpkins to make a statement. Just a perfectly placed skeleton, a few matte skulls, and a vibe that says “Halloween, but make it grown-up.”
13. Storybook Spooky
This one feels like a Halloween folktale. Rustic textures, earthy pumpkins, and vintage silhouettes create a moment that’s equal parts charming and eerie. The garland says “BOO,” but the antique mirror and handmade twigs whisper ghost stories from another time.
@12timbers captures that nostalgic, shadowy stillness that October brings—the kind that makes you want to light a candle, sip mulled cider, and wait for the witching hour.
14. Amber Glow Aesthetic
There’s a softness here, like the glow of candlelight through fog. @flashesofstyle (1) wraps autumn in golden warmth with velvety pumpkins, sculptural candles, and rust-hued everything. The skeleton slouched in the corner is more cozy companion than frightful décor.
It’s the kind of room you want to sink into on a grey day—where every surface flickers and the shadows feel gentle, not grim.
15. Witchy Whimsy
Same cozy corner, but now the camera pans out—and wow. Witch hats float from the ceiling like a coven mid-meeting, while cascading leaves and glowing pumpkins turn this room into a Halloween daydream. @flashesofstyle (2) manages to keep the warmth while adding drama.
It’s playful, elevated, and delightfully theatrical. Think Sabrina Spellman meets Nancy Meyers.
16. Chic Farmhouse Haunt
Crisp whites, soft neutrals, and a touch of theatrical black—@jillian.harris’ Halloween moment proves that you don’t need dark drama to be spooky. The classic fireplace glows under a “SPOOKY” banner while elegant bats sweep up the walls in graceful motion.
It’s the design equivalent of a cashmere sweater and lace-up boots on a chilly October evening. Refined, but with just the right hint of mischief.
17. Dark Academia Halloween
This one leans in. Gothic candlesticks, skulls peeking from every corner, and that twisted candelabra centerpiece? Deliciously dark. @litafaerie layers in old-book vibes, vampire-chic relics, and a sprinkle of haunted library energy.
It’s maximal, yes—but in that haunted heirloom kind of way. The kind of space where you half expect Edgar Allan Poe to sit down and stay awhile.
18. Cozy Country Cottage
Now we’re in soft-Halloween heaven. @ourwintonhome brings a more subtle spell with creamy whites, plush pumpkins, and a little ghost hanging out like he belongs (and he does). That autumn landscape above the mantle? Chef’s kiss—like a still from a feel-good fall movie.
The vibe here is “restful haunt.” Everything feels like it was placed with intention, inviting you to relax… but maybe also check under the couch, just in case.
19. Elevated Enchantment
High ceilings, clean lines, and neutral foundations give this Halloween setup room to breathe. But don’t be fooled—@shop.ltk’s space is crawling (literally) with spindly spiders, skeletons, and floating witches. The muted palette lets the spooky touches pop without overpowering.
It’s grandmillennial meets haunted manor, and we are here for it. Proof that Halloween décor can be both dramatic and designer-worthy.
20. Soft Glam Spook
A neutral couch, a grid of black-and-white photos, and one very moody skull—@shutterfly’s Halloween moment is all about balance. There’s subtlety in the tones, softness in the florals, and just enough darkness to keep things interesting.
The takeaway? You don’t need cobwebs to feel creepy. Sometimes, all it takes is a flicker of candlelight and the quiet flutter of paper bats across the wall.
21. Cozy Chic Halloween
Annie’s space always feels like a page out of a high-end lifestyle magazine—and this Halloween moment is no exception. Everything is creamy, layered, and tactile, with boucle pumpkins and a teddy bear pup stealing the show (wearing a pumpkin, no less). Even the coffee table styling is thoughtful: a sculptural ghost, cozy stacked books, and warm neutral tones that whisper spooky, not scream it.
It’s the kind of look that makes you want to host a pumpkin bread bake-off in a cashmere sweater. Light, lived-in, and just a touch playful—it’s a fall mood done right.
22. Mini Macabre Moment
This little Halloween vignette leans into the spooky in a soft, DIY way. With gothic florals, velvet skulls, and cobweb lace layered over natural wood, it’s giving small space, big vibe. The pillows behind add that homey grounding—a reminder that yes, this is still your couch, even if it’s moonlighting as a haunted parlor.
It’s a great reminder that sometimes the smallest corner of your home can be the most expressive. Light a cinnamon candle, dim the lights, and you’re suddenly in your own little October universe.
23. Candy Color Library
Okay—can we talk about this room? From the rainbow bookshelf to the candy-corn pillows to that floral chair that looks like it’s straight out of a 1960s dream, this is maximalism with joy at its core. Halloween touches like the tiny ghost and pumpkin pillows feel playful, not performative.
It’s a perfect example of how you can celebrate a season without stripping your space of its personality. This room doesn’t change for Halloween—it just puts on a party hat.
24. Haunted Versailles
This room is a theatrical Halloween fantasy—Marie Antoinette goes trick-or-treating. From the pink and black Christmas tree to the floating ghosts and trick-or-treat garland, it’s opulent, over-the-top, and completely charming. The gold-trimmed furniture and baroque detailing only make the seasonal styling more whimsical.
If your Halloween tastes skew toward glam, this is the blueprint. You can almost hear the ghosts whispering “more tulle, please.”
25. Cozy Fireside Glow
Another hit from Annie, this time by the fireplace. A simple autumn branch, an elegant mirror, and the sweetest teddy bear skeleton setup you ever did see. There’s restraint here, but in the best way. The kind of restraint that says, “I style my home for me—and I like my Halloween with a side of peace.”
Everything’s plush, relaxed, and ready for a warm drink and a spooky story.
26. Witchy Whimsy
This scene is pure Halloween enchantment. Floating pumpkin ghosts with tiny black hats dance among fall leaves, all centered around a gold vintage mirror and candlesticks. The layering of natural textures—woven baskets, rustic wood, soft whites—makes it feel charming and collected.
It’s like a little spell was cast over the room: festive, yes, but also cozy, grounded, and full of character.
