Introducing dark colors is the first step toward creating a spooky living room. Black is an obvious choice, but it’s a color that often feels too ominous for some people. If you want to add a little more warmth to your black-themed decor, consider using dark brown or dark blue-grey as accent colors.

Experiment with Purple

Purple is a fun choice that can add a magical quality to your Halloween decor, especially when paired with orange and grey.

Use candles to set the mood

While candles are an excellent way to set the mood, they are also a great decorative element that can be used throughout the whole house. Choose candles with autumnal colors to bring the vibes of the season inside.

Use black and orange candles to decorate your coffee table with a Halloween aesthetic. And, add spiders, skulls, bats, andd other Halloween decor, to add the spooky feeling.

Incorporate scents in your decor

Adding scents to your Halloween decor is an excellent way to make it feel more immersive. You can add scented candles and potpourri. You can also use scented oils to make your decorative pieces smell even stronger.

There are many scents that go well with the Halloween spirit. You can consider scents like vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. They go well with fall and are perfect for your Halloween decor.

Decorate with spider webs and crawly things

The great thing about spider webs is that they are very easy to make. You can hang them anywhere – from the ceiling to the back of your couch – to introduce some spooky decor.

If you want to hang them from the top, you can use a fishing wire to do so. You can also introduce crawly things like fake snakes and spiders to your living room decor. Fake snakes are a great way to decorate tables, while fake spiders are a good fit for your fireplace, mainly if you use them to decorate it with cobwebs.

Moreover, you can also add other scary decorative items to your Halloween living room decor like spider webs, bats, or foggy machines to create an eerie atmosphere. And, Halloween-themed paper crafts and fabrics on the furniture will create spooky vibes, too.
