Spectacular Spooky Decorating Ideas | Decorating Centre Online

Halloween is such a fun time of year! From pumpkin picking, to dressing up and all the sweets, it really is a time of year to let your imagination loose!

Whether you have little ones who love the idea of trick or treating, or whether you’re a grown-up who just delights in the gothic spookiness of the season, there’s always a brilliant way of making your home into a spectacular spooky space cheaply and quickly too!

With one of the spookiest times of the year coming just around the corner, here are some great Halloween decorating ideas for you to make with your family this Hallows Eve.

Below are Decorating Centre Online’s Top Ideas for decorating your home this Halloween:




1.       Bring in the Bats!

Halloween makes you think of a few spooky creatures like cats and rats, but mostly bats! However, we don’t want bat decorations up all year do we (well, some of the more gothic-inclined amongst us might, but still!) so something which can be easily disposed of is perfect for making your spooky little bat decorations!


Decorating Centre Online- Delphi Glitter Damask Wallpaper Black £13.99

A very easy way of making lots of bat decorations is to use a stencil (easily printed online) using cardboard or something else easily recycled!

For a more elegant bat decoration, you can always use wallpaper as your material preferably one with some sort of pattern on it- damask works wonders for an elegant Halloween display!



Something like our Delphi Glitter Damask Wallpaper Black works wonders for creating those elegant bat creatures!

Remember, you can always put some thread through their bodies to make them fly from your ceiling!



2.       Recycle Bottles for an Extra Spooky Touch

A fab way of making creative and cheap Halloween decorations is to easily upcycle what you already have in your home!

If you have any leftover bottles- be it wine or otherwise!- you can easily and quickly paint them for a spooky feel! Using one of our black paints- if you’re wanting them to last, I would recommend using our Zinsser’s AllCoat Paint, otherwise they will chip- you can easily create spooky bottles for your home Halloween décor.


You can either paint them in a solid black colour, or you can dry brush a lighter grey on top for an extra spooky and older-looking effect.

For an extra touch, you can add some dried flowers/plants into the bottles and make them look like old, untouched vases!



3.       Chalkboard Cemetery

With many of us already owning chalkboard walls, doors or even frames either as a plaything for our kids or for just as a helpful tool to remember our shopping lists, chalkboards are so handy for every time of year!


One of the easiest ways to add a little bit of spookiness into your some without adding any ‘boo’ to your bucks (I know, that one’s terrible) is to simply use the chalkboard you already have and have a bit of a doodle session!


Decorating Centre Online- Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint 750ml £12.99


Simply drawing some Halloween-style creatures and situations such as ghosts, cemeteries and other spooky adventures, you can add the Halloween spirit into your home in no time!

If you don’t already have a chalkboard wall, door, frame or whatever in your home, they’re super easy to make too!

Decorating Centre Online- Rust-oleum Chalkboard Paint Aerosol 400mls £9.49


Simply buy a pot of our chalkboard paint, or even our aerosol and paint it onto your surface, leave it to dry, do another coat and you’re all set!

4.       Wallpaper Wreath

A fab way to make the outside of your home as spooky as the inside of your home without breaking the budget is to decorate it with leftover wallpaper scraps!

Making a wreath out of leftover wallpaper is not only a fab way or recycling your wallpaper, but it can also be a beautiful welcoming piece of décor for anyone entering your home too!

Decorating Centre Online- Geometric Fractal Metallic Special FX Wallpaper Black £36.95



The best colour to use for your wreath would be black, however, if your wallpaper is a different colour, you can always make the wreath out of what you have and then spray paint it the colour you’re after (just make sure you leave at least 30 cm away from the wreath, surface to prevent drips as well as spray ever little but of the wreath too).

One of the easiest ways to make your wreath starts with a cardboard circle and then cut your wallpaper into thin strips of about 2cm width and 15cm length.


Decorating Centre Online- Savannah Safari Frames Wallpaper Black & Gold £9.99


By folding these bits of wallpaper over and then gluing them on top of each other on the cardboard, you will give the illusion that the wallpaper is all folded over each other, creating a beautiful-looking wreath! Once it is fully dried, you can then spray paint it too!

This type of wreath isn’t just reserved for Halloween either, you can create your own Christmas, Easter and even Summertime wreaths just like above, by simply changing the colour of the wallpaper which you are using!



5.       Paint Tin Ghosts!

Remember, anything can be spooky if you just give it a little nudge in the right direction!

If you’ve just finished some painting (perhaps from your recycled bottles Halloween DIY job) make sure that you keep the tins leftover!

These tins can easily be used to create cute ghosts and other hanging Halloween decorations too! By simply spray painting your tins white and gluing some tissue paper from the bottom of the tins, you can make some scary-looking ghosts to hang from trees, or even your ceiling!

Decorating Centre Online- Colour Match Paint from £13.99


Just make sure that your paint tins are fully dried and cleaned from any leftover paint before you hang them upside down or you may find yourself with some cleaning up to do!

The best tins to use for this are any paint tins which contained water-based paint as this can be easily cleaned out with some water, whereas the oil-based paints will need turpentine to remove it and will end up smelling quite strongly of both the paint and the turpentine afterwards too.

Decorating Centre Online- Leyland Trade Hardwearing Matt Brilliant White 5L £34.99

There are so many more ways which you can add some Halloween fun into your home this October by simply using some extra goodies that you have lying around the house! Just make sure that you let your imagination run wild and your home will be sensationally spooky in no time!
