Haunted Halloween Tablescape
Today, I’m sharing my haunted Halloween tablescape, complete with skeletons, skulls, crows and pumpkins. I was never one for Halloween decor, but after creating last year’s table, I realized how much fun it is to lean into this holiday a bit.

I used many of the same elements as last year, but in new ways. Overall, I wanted a more muted take on Halloween, letting skeletons and skulls take the lead. The metallic orange pumpkins got a coat of gold spray paint for a fresh look.
For a bit of glam, I added some fairy lights and lit some (fake) candles in gold votives. The lights added a nice ambiance for the evening (even though it was harder to photograph!).
I love these little skeletons. They lean up against candle holders, pumpkins – creepy, but not too creepy.
The big center skeleton and the beware and spooky pumpkins are both CVS finds from last year. Tell ya what – if you need some quick decor and don’t have time to go to Target, I was pleasantly surprised by the options at my local CVS.
I have no idea what the spiky plants are, but they sure are perfect for a haunted Halloween tablescape.
Do you decorate for Halloween? If so, do you go cute and fun, or lean into the scarier aspects of the holiday?

What a bone-chilling Halloween tablescape. The contrast of skeletons with the beauty of the pumpkins, fairy lights and silver accents make the table so interesting. The neutral colors are so lovely and works beautifully for your table. It still can be a Halloween table even with the use such calming and tranquil neutral colors.
Kim says
I love your use of heirloom pumpkins and the neutral look of your tablescape that whispers eerie, sinister Halloween! The fairy lights create just the right ambiance and the skeletons perched here and there that are reflected in the silver accents. The entire table just glows! Thanks so much for sharing, Jenn and Happy Halloween!

You have set a wonderfully spooky setting on your Halloween table. I love those spiky plants you used!! They bring in so much texture sitting with the round, muted colored pumpkins. Love the eerie glow as well. Have a fun Halloween!
Haley says

Lovely in a very spooky way! The eclectic mix of natural items and textures contrasts wonderfully with the eerie skellies and skulls! The small twinkling lights provide just the right Halloween glow! I love that it’s not too fussy, beautiful!

This has been one of my favorites so far. I think I have a dark side that was really drawn to the skulls on the plates! Seriously, it was lovely – not overdone but just enough to make a very fun statement.
Kari Rogers-Miller says
Jenn, I love your tablescape. The little skellies are perfect and you positioned them well along side the skulls on the plates. I don’t know that spiky plant but it is perfect for your setting.
Great job. It is always a pleasure to blog hop with you.

Hi Jenn! I love the skeletons and pumpkins on your Halloween tablescape! The fairy lights add a nice touch – I used them in my tablescape too! I love the gold and fall touches – it’s a nice blend of the season and Halloween. So happy to be hopping with you!
Debbee says
Jenn, not sure what is going on, but my first two comments do not appear to have gone through? If so please delete the previous ones. I think your skeletons and my mummies should party together! Like your neutral colors with elegant sparkle and touch of magic with the gold pumpkins.
Amber Ferguson says
Jenn it’s absolutley adorable and elegant! I love the little skeletons! I forgot all about CVS having cool decorations. I have bought things there in the past but haven’t been this year. I love your pumpkins in the dough bowl on the side board too! You are welcome to share with us at Thursday Favorite Things and The Hauntingly Beautiful Decor Link Party.
‘So happy to be hopping with you this week. Happy Halloween!

Jenn, love your muted Halloween tablescape. The little skeletons are precious. And the skulls add just the right scary touch. Using the little gold lights gave a great bling to the table. Pinned!
