Black and White Halloween Decor Ideas
Welcome to our Halloween dining room! I don’t usually do a lot of Halloween decorating around the house because I prefer all of the pretty fall decor, but the kids love decorating for Halloween! Generally I compromise and decorate the dining room and front porch for Halloween and leave the rest of the fall decor up in the kitchen and family room.
One of the hard things about being a blogger is trying to enjoy the holidays in real time. I’m usually planning out content months ahead of time, so sometimes I really have to step back and just go with the moment. This dining room tour is actually from one of our Halloween dinners last year. I didn’t get it up on the blog then so I thought this would be a good time to share!
Halloween Sideboard
I always enjoy decorating the sideboard in our dining room, but I needed to find a way to incorporate the artwork into a Halloween theme. When in doubt, use bats! I found some 3-D bats at Michaels and attached them with some double sided temporary adhesives {like you use for scrapbooking} so it looked like they were flying through the trees.
I then added some more trees with these lighted white trees that are actually from our Christmas decor. They provide a pretty Halloween glow and some additional branches for the bats {and a few crows!} to rest. You can see this year’s version of our side board {which I made into a Halloween hot chocolate bar} HERE.
Halloween Tablescape
The Halloween tablescape went together really quickly. I used a Halloween table runner that I found at HomeSense and then topped it with some white pumpkins, a couple of black Halloween trees, and a black boa for some added texture.
The centerpiece is actually just an old outdoor lantern that I spray painted black. I little ribbon and a Halloween sticker transformed it into a spooky birdhouse.
Regular glasses are easy to transform into Halloween decor with some vinyl or stickers to create jack-o-lantern faces. This is actually a great project for the kids to do while you’re getting the dinner ready. You can always use plastic clear plastic cups if you don’t trust them with glass!
If you’ve been around here for a while, you may know that I love collecting fun salt and pepper shakers. I totally could not resist these “Here Lies Salt and Pepper” shakers that I found at a local store. They’re probably one of my favorite Halloween decorations!
I hope you enjoyed the little tour and get inspired to throw your own spooky Halloween dinner party! It doesn’t have to be anything fancy. It’s lots of fun to get you in the spirit for pumpkin carving or a Halloween movie night! You can find some great Halloween food ideas HERE and HERE to help get you started on your dinner menu. Happy Haunting!
