Hang Some Dramatic Curtains

We love it whena Halloween porchbrings the drama.
@karaspartyideas/ Instagram
Black and white striped curtains are fairly easy to come by and are very on-theme for the holiday.
Go Classic With Jack-O-Lanterns
@a.little.love.designs/ Instagram
Jack-o-lanterns are quintessential Halloween symbols.
you could mix them in with your typical set of real pumpkins too.
@spookythankfulmerry/ Instagram
A simple handwaving gesture may just do the trick.
Prop some pumpkins on their laps to complete the look.
Hang some witch legs from your porch ceiling.
@a.little.love.designs/ Instagram
If you could’t find ones exactly like what you’re looking for, make your own set.
All you need is some striped leggings, black shoes, and some stuffing.
Instead of hanging them, stick them upside down in your potted mums.

Bonus points if they match the color of your mums.
Hang a Halloween Banner

Pendant banners aren’t just indoor holiday decorations.
Hanging a Halloween banner underneath a porch roof is a fun way to greet guests.
@karaspartyideas/ Instagram
Hang a few above your porch, but don’t stop there.
Make an entire army of spiders crawling on other areas of your home’s facade.
Create a hanging pumpkin arch with light-up jack-o-lanterns and fall leaves above your porch opening.
@karaspartyideas/ Instagram
It should be pretty easy to disassemble and re-use for future years.
you’ve got the option to attach them at altering heights to your porch ceiling.
Set Up a Cauldron

Cauldrons are another iconic Halloween symbol.

Instead of simply just plopping one on your porch, set up a scene around one.
Toss some fake bones in the pot and put some stringed lights around it.
There are so many tutorials online on how to make your own ghosts using basic household items.
@hearts_at_claremont/ Instagram
Think of how you could decorate around your spring and summer porch decor.
For example, place a skeleton in your potted ferns rather than retiring them for the season.
Purple and black look just as great together.
@staufferdesignco/ Instagram
Opt for purple mums and black and white pumpkins and skeletons for a unique but festive display.
Hanging decorations always add some depth and dimension, and so do bats pinned up to the walls.
This will look especially great on black or dark wood doors.

Tie some rope together to make a spider web shape, and attach it to your door.
Don’t forget to add some spiders, and perhaps accessorize them with googly eyes and bows.
Bare faux trees or orange and yellow fall trees with lights are pretty easy to come by.

Accessorize Your Skeleton
@truemanstreasures/ Instagram
Skeletons don’t have to be scary.
Give your life-sized skeleton a bit of a goofy look and dress it to the nines.
Give it a wig, hat, and even a purse.
@seasons4home/ Instagram
Or, throw on a fashionable scarf or football jersey.
You’ll be sure to evoke some smiles and chuckles with this kind of setup.
Just be sure to pull a few corners tight to get it into the right shape.

To make them extra fitting for Halloween, wrap some strands of orange stringed lights around them.
It takes very little effort to put them up, and they are often reusable.
It’s sometimes these subtle changes that make the most difference.
@blessed_ranch/ Instagram
you’re free to hang them in the same trailing fashion as you would bats or crows.
Add Some Skeleton Creatures
@sanctuaryhomedecor/ Instagram
Humans obviously aren’t the only creatures with skeletons.
Consider adding a couple of fake animal skeletons next to your fake human skeleton.
@themakerista/ Instagram
This dog skeleton howling at the moon and a tiny cat skeleton in a cage are great examples.
Spiders, skeletons, and pumpkins all come in miniature sizes.
Because of this, your porch floor is often a missed opportunity when it comes to seasonal decor.

Pink also happens to look great with black.
You really can’t go wrong with painted pink pumpkins, orange mums, and a few black bats.
These black and white ghost pumpkins and gourds are such a perfect example.
