From Halloween decor ideas trending on social media, to designers and trends analysts sharing their top picks for Halloween 2024 trends, we've picked our favorites. Infuse your home with Halloween opulence by decorating with trending statement features and design hacks.

1. Switching the color palette

In 2024, we're moving away from the traditional orange and black color palette for something more demure. It can be easy to forget, but pumpkins come in a variety of colors, not just orange! I like the idea of marking Halloween with white, teal, and pale yellow pumpkins and gourds, and pairing them with enchanted-looking curiosities for a seasonal look that feels something like a cozy, yet luxurious. Other hues to consider are emerald greens, deep purples, midnight blues and rich burgundy to create a more sultry Halloween ambiance.

2. Elegant Halloween Decor

With searches up 400% on Pinterest, elegant Halloween decor is proving to be the big hitter this Halloween as we all try to do something a little more sophisticated in 2024.This doesn't mean you need to be minimal with your choices, but try to stick to a selected color palette and maybe keep the skeletons in the closet. In the porch above, they've embraced classy outdoor fall decor ideas and elevated them slightly for the holiday. Either indoors or outdoors, elegant Halloween decor works great for a Halloween tablescape like this one that uses the Frosted Glass Pumpkins by Anthropologie. The neutral color palette and pared-back style work perfectly here.

3. Witchcraft

Another big trend is mystical and witchy Halloween decor. These Black Vine Witch Hats from Terrain are the perfect example of a minimal take on this trend, styled with a few pumpkins and a maple leaf wreath. Also, an inventive and TikTok-trending way to create an elegant display is to create the illusion of floating candles. This Harry Potter-esque set up can work in any room in your home but looks particularly magical over the dining table.

4. BeetleJuice Core

The new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie is inspiring designers and Halloween aficionados to embrace black and white stripes, bold colors, and a mix of vintage and modern pieces in their home in a tribute. Whether you're a big Tim Burton fan or just love monochrome, adding a nod of Beetlejuicecore (as they're calling it) to your Halloween decor this year is going to feel fresh and on-trend. Stripes are a must-have, as are eerily elegant black pumpkins, skulls, and spooky candelabras. Think about adding a burst of lime green too for a pop of color.

5. Vintage Decor

Gothic and vintage finds are an elegant and subtle on-trend way to create a Halloween theme in your home. Ornate candelabras, vintage-style mirrors and portraits, and dramatic velvet drapes can be dramatic additions to your home and enhance the Halloween theme that can then be repurposed throughout the year.

6. Macabre Minimalisim

By using clean lines and a limited color palette, this trend allows the Halloween spirit to shine through without overwhelming the space. Instead of randomly decorating areas in your home with Halloween decor, find well-chosen statement pieces and create various focus points to make a modern and eye-catching display. Halloween trends aren't all about dark colors, for some Halloween party decoration ideas you can also incorporate coloful elements and intricate patterns from the Day of the Dead celebration. Elements such as vibrant skull decorations and marigold garlands can be a festive and respectful homage to this seasonal celebration.
