Just because you live in a small apartment or have limited space doesn’t mean you have to skip out on the Halloween fun!
Halloween is all about giving your home a spooky makeover, and decorating can be such a fun and exciting process.
From eerie and mysterious to fun and whimsical, there’s a Halloween decor style for everyone.
Whether you want to go all out with spooky details or keep it cute and simple, I’ve got you covered.
I’ll be sharing some Halloween decor tips that are perfect for any space in your home.
Here are 27 Festive Halloween Decor Ideas For Small Apartments.
1. Happy Halloween banner
Banners are such a fun way to decorate for the season, and they work especially well for Halloween.
A “Happy Halloween” banner would look great in your home.
You can hang them above your door, over a window, or one of my personal favorites—above the TV.
2. Halloween coffee corner
Coffee corners are always a nice little spot in the kitchen, but it can be fun to give them a Halloween twist!
For Halloween, consider adding seasonal mugs, stir sticks, paper cups, and spoons.
You can also toss in some cute decorations like mini jack-o’-lanterns and pom-pom garlands.
3. Spooky shelf decor
Not sure how to decorate that shelf for Halloween?
I’ve got you covered! It’s all about layering—mixing tall, medium, and small items until everything looks just right.
Grouping things by color can help create a unified look.
Finally don’t forget to add quirky and unique pieces for some extra character.
4. Window garland and pumpkin decor
Window garlands are a quick and easy way to add some Halloween cheer.
I love felt ball garlands or a fun Halloween sign like “Trick or Treat.”
Also don’t forget to add some pumpkin decor—both friendly and spooky ones work great!
5. Halloween coffee table and sofa decor
The living room is the perfect place to get creative with Halloween decor.
For the coffee table, go for something simple yet fun, like a Halloween centerpiece with a jack-o’-lantern and a few pumpkins.
For your sofa, Halloween-themed pillows and a cozy plaid throw work wonders.
6. Bewitching kitchen tray
Why not try a seasonal tray in the kitchen this Halloween?
Place a sassy pumpkin with a cheeky phrase like “WITCH PLEASE” on it.
Also, add candles and glass jars filled with herbs and spices to complete the witchy witchy theme.
7. Glowing candle display
If you want something eerie this Halloween, then it’s time to bring out the candles.
LED candles are a great choice because they’re safe and versatile.
Use a bunch of them in candlesticks, or hang them on the wall.
You can even create a floating effect to make them look like they’re hovering in mid-air.
8. Garlanded mirror and jack-o’-lanterns
This idea is great for an entry table and mirror but works on any mirror in your home.
Decorate the mirror with fall leaves and add illuminated jack-o’-lanterns to your console table.
The glow from the jack-o’-lanterns gives that classic Halloween feel.
9. Pumpkin headboard display
Don’t leave your bedroom out this Halloween!
Another great idea is to decorate your bedroom headboard.
Add a collection of pumpkins from classic orange to black.
You also have to add fairy lights; they just make your bedroom feel magical.
10. Floating decor and spider wall decals
Floating decor just screams Halloween.
For a witchy theme, try mounting a broom and some witch hats.
You can easily find a tutorial online to help you recreate the look.
For the walls, spider decals are a great option to add a little extra spookiness.
11. Halloween tray with sweet treat jars
This is another cute Halloween decor for your kitchen counter.
It’s all about Halloween fun—think cute ghosts, candy corns, and a little cauldron.
A rustic tray works perfectly as a base.
Fill up some glass jars with your favorite treats like marshmallow ghosts and candy corn to complete the look.
12. Spooky shelf decor and wall art
Give your bathroom a spooky makeover!
For the shelves, add pumpkins, skulls, and jack-o’-lanterns.
To make things even spookier, try adding a black floral arrangement with eyeballs for that eerie vibe.
Then finish off with some classic Halloween wall art for a bold, eye-catching touch.
13. Rustic Halloween console decor
Love rustic decor but still want to decorate for Halloween?
Guess what, you can get the best of both worlds.
Some of my favorite Halloween decorations that I know will look great on your console are pumpkins, tin jack-o’-lanterns, and Halloween art.
Placing 3D bats on the wall or mirror is another great idea.
14. Minimalist Halloween shelf decor
Keep things really simple and festive with this shelf decor.
You want to focus on clean lines while still showing off your Halloween decor.
Black and red are such great colors for the season.
Pair it with framed bat art, spooky ghosts, and pumpkin wooden decor.
15. Playful Halloween corner
I really love cozy corners; they are really great for some extra decoration.
If you have floating shelves, they’re great for showing off your layering and decorating skills.
Another adorable decoration is a freestanding ghost decor—something you can even DIY at home for a budget-friendly option.
16. Cozy Halloween bed accents
Who doesn’t love a spooky and cozy Halloween bedroom?
It’s all about creating a blend of Halloween and cozy fall vibes.
Consider bed accents like soft blankets and pillows, including a Halloween-themed throw blanket and a “Trick or Treat” pillow.
Use a color palette of warm oranges and creams to create a snug atmosphere.
17. Spooky spatulas and candy
This Halloween idea is simple but adds a fun festive touch.
Get some spooky spatulas—who wouldn’t love flipping pancakes with a “Trick or Treat” spatula?
Also, fill a jar with candy corn and Halloween-colored M&Ms for a sweet kitchen addition.
18. Halloween staircase decor
Who doesn’t want a spooky passageway in their house?
To recreate something like this, you’ll need some lights—fairy lights, string lights, or any type that gets the job done.
Use them to illuminate the banisters, then for the walls leading upstairs, scatter black bats in various sizes.
19. Witchy kitchen ceiling
Want to transform your kitchen into a bewitching sight?
Then you’ll have to try this one out.
Create a floating witch hat effect—it’s a popular choice because it always works!
Add string lights inside the hats to make them glow.
Also use black gauze and drape it across the ceiling for a haunting effect.
20. Halloween Frankenstein shelf display
This is another shelf decor that just looks great in any space.
Use it on your mantel or any empty shelf.
Add plenty of spooky pumpkins, Halloween signs, and of course, a Frankenstein bust.
Then drape some black lace over the shelf for an extra eerie effect.
21. Simple ghost kitchen tray
I love a simple tray decor, especially for Halloween.
For a laid-back tray, start with candles and a small lamp to create some cozy ambient lighting.
Then, add Halloween accents like a marble ghost cutting board and a tiny ceramic ghost planter for a cute spooky touch.
22. Seasonal bedroom ledge decor
Here’s another spooky idea for your bedroom!
A picture ledge is perfect for this.
Arrange framed Halloween-inspired photos in black frames, and add some glowing mini jack-o’-lanterns.
Then hang a glowing Halloween tapestry to instantly transform the space.
23. Banners and pumpkins decor
We all know how much a banner and some pumpkins can do for a space, but it still can’t be said enough—they’re amazing!
Go all out with Halloween-themed pillows, pumpkin pillows, “boo” throws, and pumpkin centerpieces.
It’s the perfect way to bring Halloween vibes into any room.
24. Halloween tiered tray decor
Tiered trays are fantastic, especially for seasonal decorating.
You definitely have to create one for Halloween.
Place a “Spooky” mug, mini pumpkins, and a ghost candy dish.
I suggest mixing functional items like mugs and fun pieces to create a layered and interesting display.
25. Bat and leaf wall decor
If you want your home to truly scream Halloween, this idea is for you!
Glowing jack-o’-lanterns are a must; go for battery-operated ones for safety and versatility.
Also add bats and leaf decorations to your walls, and illuminate them with string lights to make the whole space feel alive.
26. Halloween wreath
I love wreaths—they’re probably the best door decorations out there!
For Halloween, hang one on your front door.
It doesn’t have to be super specific, but something that really screams Halloween is always a great idea.
Natural materials like twigs and branches make a perfect base for a spooky wreath.
27. Skull centerpiece and spiderweb lace runner
Sometimes you just need a dramatic and spooky centerpiece.
Start off with a spiderweb lace runner that serves as the perfect base for the Halloween-themed decorations.
Then place glass jars with eerie items like eyeballs and labels like “Spider Legs.”
Finally, in the center, add a creepy skull.
