If you love to decorate for the seasons, fall and halloween are the perfect excuse to go all in. Pumpkin shaped cushions, orange throws, spooky bats – I’m in!
Fall brings such a gorgeous colour scheme to embrace and so many different ways to decorate your bedroom for halloween that don’t have to mean creating a super spooky look.
Here are some of my favourite Halloween bedroom ideas for you to recreate this year.
19 Whimsical Halloween Bedroom Ideas for a Not-So-Spooky Vibe
1. Spooky Bats
Bat decor is the bridge between pumpkins and skulls, spooky, but still cute.
Bat wall decals are super simple to apply and they add instant texture to a wall. Pair with a garland over a bed frame or on your bed wall for a cute look. Needless to say, the gorgeous green wall paint sets the perfect tone for this spooky ambience.
2. Garlands & Fairy Lights
Fall is the season for getting seriously cosy and adding a fall or Halloween themed garland sets the tone without a huge expense, and it looks great for draping across shelves or bed frames.
Weave in some simple fairy lights for an instant ethereal feel, and a little touch of magic as the night draws in.
3. Fall Like Bedding
Switching up your textiles for Halloween is super easy and something that you can pull out year after year to enjoy.
Lean into traditional fall colours such as oranges and browns. If you’re not a huge fan of overtly Halloween motifs, pick something tasteful like the below orange floral design.
4. Orange Christmas Trees, Yes, Really!
Have you ever met a Halloween inspired Christmas tree? Take inspiration from the below bedroom with some orange and red Christmas tree ornaments on display. They’re unexpected, but work perfectly with Halloween.
Weave in some orange tones into your bedding and beyond for a cosy, intentional feeling in the bedroom.
5. Pumpkins & Witches Hats
A farmhouse inspired look that’s a little bit spooky, but mostly cute!
Pumpkins are a necessity for the holiday and ceramic options offer more longevity than real pumpkins and can be reused every year. Introduce cute extras for more of a spooky theme like witches hats, rats and bats!
6. Halloween Shelf Styling
Elevate those shelves for the holidays, swap out faux stems for more autumnal variations such as copper beech leaves. Swap ornaments for pumpkins, skulls and little ghouls.
Drape a garland across the shelves for a tactile, pretty feel.
7. Monochrome Theme
Instead of orange, lean into a monochromatic look for a spookier feel.
Update your bedding to a black and white design, stripes are a true classic and something that could still be used throughout the seasons. I love the fun addition of the fake hay, fairy lights and pumpkins on the top of the bed frame.
8. Fall Meets Halloween
Combine the best of both worlds for a fall like look that can be carried all the way through to Halloween.
A preppy feel that combines notes of Halloween with the candle and mug, and fall like touches with the cushions and sweet offerings to the wall.
9. Cosy Fall Colour Scheme
Doesn’t the bedroom below just feel like fall? So cosy!
Go all out and create a truly ethereal, cosy feel with plenty of suspended garlands, fairy lights and hanging pumpkin baubles.
Refresh bedding with fall like tones and layer with plenty of textured throws and cushions.
10. Switch Up Your Textiles
There’s no such thing as too many cushions and if you want to create a seriously cool bedroom look for Halloween, plenty of Halloween cushions and slogans are a necessity here.
Mix and match for a super eclectic feel that can feel vintage and reminiscent of fall.
11. Bats & Cobwebs
If you have wall art hanging above your bed, use it as an opportunity to do something extra than just dangle a garland from it.
Hang fake cobwebs across the wall art and finish with bat wall decals surrounding it for a creepy, but fun look!
12. Halloween Themed Wall Decals
Don’t just stop at the bats, there are so many fun Halloween style wall decals you can have fun with, be it witches hats or these maple leaf wall art stickers that will work perfectly for a fall like look.
I adore how cosy and fun the below bedroom is for Halloween, and a great idea on the bed frame, instead of using one garland, layer with a few for a textured, fuller look.
13. Black & Gold
Black and gold is an elevated combination with orange, I call it spooky but sophisticated.
Have fun with cushions and consider what patterns work with the theme, black and gold leopard print is fun yet ideal for the holiday ahead. Pair with a juxtaposing print like the skull cushions for added interest.
14. Black Gingham
There’s no fabric that shouts fall and halloween quite like black gingham and it’s so easy to work into a bedroom scheme.
Choose it for your bedding, a throw, cushions or even as fabric on pumpkins for a fun touch of definition.
15. Orange, Green, Black
A witch like combination of colours that just work so well together.
Green and orange lie close together on the colour wheel so they naturally pair beautifully together. The addition of black and white creates a beautiful balance, and I think the little guys below like it too!
16. Elevate The Walls
Think about the walls as part of your decor design plans. Switch up artwork that’s in-line with the season, how quirky is this wall art with pegs in the bedroom below?
For a similar look, use the pegs to hang Halloween accessories such as a witches hat, a key, a bat keyring or a pumpkin.
17. Bed Frame Garland
Such a charming bedroom decor look for Halloween and not one bit scary! Hang a sweet garland across the length of your bed frame, a sweet look for both kids and adult bedrooms!
18. Little Boo’s
Little boo, or little ghouls are one of the cutest additions to Halloween decor, and whether you choose an ornament, a wax burner or a little hanging sign, they really add a sweet touch to a bedroom for the holiday.
Or, why not go for a themed set of bedding instead? It looks fab with the cast iron bed frame below!
19. Adorable Halloween Details
Create an extension from your existing wall art and add some of those bat wall decals, they’re such a popular look!
It’s pulling the little details together that work, such as the bat decals, ghoul throw and warm pops of orange from the pumpkins for a true Halloween like look!
