Easy Neutral Halloween Decor

| |

My kids are grown but I still want to decorate with easy neutral Halloween decor for the holiday.

I’m not a fan of the orange color palette so I will be using white and black neutrals. I will also work some of my tan and brown antique books into my decor.

If you are visiting from The Tattered Pew – Welcome! I hope you enjoyed the Easy Haunted House Silhouette Craft that Kelly created.

My sweet friend Carol from Bluesky at Home is the Host of this Blog Hop. I’m excited to be involved with this group of talented ladies!

Is it too soon to be decorating for Halloween?

If you’re a neutral Halloween decor person like me, then it’s not too early.

My Halloween is very subtle and is really just a little extra addition to my fall decor.

If you are an all-out Halloween fan then I would say yes, it might be a little too early.

As a blogger, my job is to inspire you so Halloween is happening at this small house.

What is Neutral Halloween Decor

Neutral Halloween decor to me is just adding a few things to my already neutral fall decor.

  • Black 3-D Bats or Butterflies on your mantel or wall.
  • Witches hats hanging from the ceiling or adorning the top of a pumpkin or figurine.
  • Witches brooms are very neutral and can lay or hang in your home or on your front porch.
  • Pumpkins can go anywhere and scream fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.
  • I’m loving the white carved pumpkin look and if we still had kids at home; or even kids who trick-or-treated by us, I would have them adorning my porch.
  • Black candle sticks or candelabras make a fun addition to your dining table or mantel for Halloween.
  • Being a vintage collector, I have amber apothecary jars on my coffee table. I’m going to add a few vintage-like poison labels to the jars. How fun!
  • Vintage Books are also great items to use for fall/Halloween/harvest decor

What Halloween Looks Like at Our House

Our little village hosts a Halloween Trick-or-Treat event on the Sunday before the 21st. Children can trick-or-treat in the neighborhood from 1:00 – 4:00 pm.

It really is more of a family event and when my kids were little I loved it because Halloween night was typically cold & rainy here in Illinois. We’ve even had snow on the actual Halloween Date

We live on a long dead-end street and there are only 6 homes so we rarely have ever had kids come to our house.

That is another reason why I don’t do much traditional Halloween decor.

Because I keep things neutral, I decorate for fall and then I just add in a few fun Halloween pieces during the last few weeks of October.

It then gets packed up and put away the day after Halloween.

Then I add just a little Thanksgiving decor to the neutral fall theme.

Still love Our Frame TV

I fall in love with our Frame TV all over again, every season. For $2.50 I bought Halloween Art on Etsy. I find the most beautiful art on Etsy for every season and holiday of the year.

    What a great idea to decorate with neutrals and with fall. We are at the end of a dead end street with no trick or treaters here either. More Trunk or Treat here for safety reasons here now which has become great fun! Loved hopping with you!

  2. You got me on the TV???? I was going to ask you where you found that picture. I didn’t know you could buy them through Etsy for your tv. I adored the old pictures in the frames. Great idea????????????

    1. Hi Ann –
      I buy all kinds of art for the TV from Etsy and then you use an app called “SmartThings” to control it. It’s so much fun and so inexpensive.
