Autumn’s crisp air and lengthening nights mean Halloween is just around the corner. Interest in Halloween home décor is growing fast – “halloween home decor” now attracts around 1,500 monthly searches in the UK. That makes this the perfect moment to refresh your space and capture seasonal style. For 2025, Halloween is taking a softer turn: think “sweet and spooky” rather than gory, with colour palettes that pair pastels and black, and décor that feels playful and stylish. In this guide we explore the key trends shaping Halloween decorating this year and show you how to recreate them using Pretty Little Home products.
1. Trend watch: Pink & black and disco glam
This year, Halloween décor is breaking away from the classic orange and black. 2025’s hottest colour combination is pink and black , a playful pairing that brings a touch of sweetness to spooky styling while still looking chic. Imagine dusty‑rose pumpkins teamed with black candle holders, or a pink velvet ribbon wrapped around a ceramic ghost. The idea is to balance cute and creepy, creating a look that’s both playful and sophisticated.
Another standout trend is disco glam. Disco‑ball finishes, iridescent surfaces and glittering accents are showing up everywhere from pumpkins to candle holders. Try styling your mantelpiece with a set of glossy ceramic pumpkins alongside a disco‑ball‑inspired vase. The reflective surfaces catch and scatter candlelight for a magical, otherworldly glow.
2. Colour palettes and theming with our collections
Creating a cohesive Halloween scheme starts with colour. In 2025, pastel shades , blush pink, lilac and pale mint are being paired with black accents for a playful yet refined feel. You can achieve the look without painting or redecorating by swapping in seasonal accessories. For example, cluster a few ceramic pumpkins on your coffee table and accent them with black candle holders or taper candles. Add a pastel pumpkin mug on a side table to nod to the trend without overwhelming the space.
If you prefer a more traditional palette, opt for creamy whites and soft neutrals paired with metallic touches. Our Halloween Home Decor collection includes elegant ceramic witches and LED witch hats that look sophisticated in any setting. Mix them with a glass candle holder and some dried flowers to create a haunted yet homely display.
3. Statement lighting and ornaments
Lighting can make or break a Halloween theme. Warm candlelight and glowing ornaments bring atmosphere and drama to any room. Consider using our LED Ceramic Pumpkin Houses as a centrepiece on your console or mantel; they cast a soft, flickering light that feels both cosy and mysterious. For extra sparkle, fill one of our Tea Light Holders or a clear glass jar with battery‑operated fairy lights and place it among your ceramic pumpkins. This keeps the look elegant while using products we actually sell.
Don’t forget hanging ornaments. Our Pumpkin Decor & Ornaments range includes adorable ghosts, mini pumpkins and ceramic witches that can be hung from door handles, pegged onto garlands or dotted around shelves. Combine them with our leaf candle holders filled with tealights to illuminate corners and create a layered glow.
Metallic accents are also on trend this year , think gold‑edged candle holders, bronze trays and iridescent ornaments. A metallic pumpkin or a gold‑edged ceramic ghost will shine beautifully against the pink and black backdrop.
4. Table settings and entryway styling
Halloween gatherings are as much about the table as they are about costumes. Start with one of our Halloween Table Decorations sets – these collections include everything from themed serving boards to ghost‑shaped napkin rings. Layer a rattan tray with ceramic pumpkins, candle holders and dried flowers for a stylish centrepiece. Tuck in a few mini disco balls or iridescent ornaments to echo the glam trend. For place settings, pair your existing dinnerware with black taper candles and pastel pumpkin mugs for a surprising twist.
Outside, greet guests with a seasonal wreath. Our Autumn Door Wreaths, Dried & Preserved Wreaths and Artificial Door Wreaths are designed for year‑round use and come in autumnal tones of rust, berry and cream. Hang a wreath on your door and echo the colours inside with matching candle holders and pumpkins on your entry table
5. Tips for small spaces and finishing touches
You don’t need a huge house to embrace Halloween style. In smaller spaces, focus on vignettes rather than large installations. Place a ceramic pumpkin on a stack of books on your coffee table, tuck a mini pumpkin mug onto a kitchen shelf, or hang a mini wreath on a cupboard door. A few thoughtfully placed items can convey the theme without clutter.
Enhance the atmosphere with scent. Light one of our 3‑Wick Candles in a fragrance like vanilla spice or pumpkin latte to make your home smell as good as it looks. For a subtle, continuous aroma, use our Diffuser Oils in a Ceramic Diffuser and choose autumnal fragrances like cinnamon, orange and clove. Scatter a handful of faux acorns or dried leaves on trays and windowsills to complete the look.
Conclusion and call to action
Halloween 2025 is all about merging spooky with sophisticated. By embracing soft pastel shades with black accents, adding disco‑inspired glitz and choosing elegant ornaments, you can create a look that feels fresh and exciting. Statement lighting, scented candles and beautiful wreaths make your home feel welcoming and magical during the darker evenings.
