Welcome Halloween! Glowing silhouettes of pumpkins, ghosts and bats, flickering candles and orange lights will transform your living room, windows and front door in no time. Get inspired by our tips on creating a spooky yet cosy atmosphere in your own home.
Effortless Halloween Decor
Halloween doesn’t have to be just about a carved pumpkin on the doorstep. Halloween decorations create a spooky mood without much effort. All you need is warm candlelight and orange or red lights.
The decorations are playful yet cosy, so both children and adults will love them. And once Halloween is over, the candles will keep you company until the end of autumn.
Glowing Pumpkins, Ghosts and Bats
The stars of the show are white 3D-printed silhouettes of a pumpkin, a ghost and a bat. Press them into a bowl of moss and wrap them in battery-powered wire fairy lights or hang them in the window on a thin fishing line. In the evening, everyone passing by will see them.
Battery-powered fairy lights don’t need a socket, so you can arrange them wherever you like. However, they are designed primarily for indoor use, so outdoors choose a sheltered spot for them, such as a covered patio or porch.
Our tip: Put the wire fairy lights in a mason jar and place it inside a hollowed-out pumpkin instead of a candle. The pumpkin will glow brighter than with a classic candle, and the jar will protect the lights from moisture. Plus, you can choose from a wide range of colours, from classic yellow and red to blue or rainbow.
Candles That Don’t Burn
The warm glow of candles is part of Halloween. Sille LED candles in red, peach or plum and the Dea LED oil lamp create a mysterious atmosphere without an open flame.
So there’s no risk of anything catching fire around children, costumes or dry leaves. Place them on the windowsill, on the table or next to the bench by the door, and just keep some spare AA batteries to hand.
3 Simple Tips for Halloween Decorating
Whether you’re preparing a spooky window, an entrance for trick-or-treaters or a cosy evening with a pumpkin on the table, you’ll find inspiration and decorations here to light up your display.
1. Combine White and Orange
White silhouettes and orange light make the perfect spooky duo.
2. Outdoors, Only IP44 and Higher
Outdoors, use only outdoor lighting rated IP44 or higher. Always keep indoor lights rated IP20 under a roof and protect them from moisture.
3. Think of the Children
Flameless LED candles are safe even next to costumes and dry leaves.
Not a Fan of Halloween?
Not everyone enjoys grinning pumpkins and bats on the garden gate. And that’s fine. Autumn has its own magic even without ghosts. A glowing squirrel on the patio, a wreath of leaves on the door or real-wax LED candles shaped like pine cones will wrap your home in warm autumn colours.
What’s more, classic autumn decorations will last you from September right through to All Souls’ Day, when the quiet glow of candles is all you need. You’ll find inspiration in our autumn decoration category.
