Spooky Halloween Décor That’s Elevated

We’ve all dealt with the sticky stringy webs from the dollar store and the flimsy plastic spiders that are sooo overplayed. This year, up the ante on your Halloween décor by using items that are both chic and wonderfully strange too. Create horrifying tablescapes and scary vignettes that are devilishly decked out with this spooky décor that’s elevated. —Jennifer Cox

We love this 50-pack of cardboard cut-out bats from Party City ($8) because when you group them together on a wall or hanging from an eave, they look like a true cauldron of bats (and that’s actually the official term for a group of bats!).

Porch signs are such a fun way to share your Halloween well wishes with the neighborhood. Check out the Happy Halloween Reversible Porch Sign from Pier 1 Imports ($55). You get two whimsical signs in one!

Simons’ Rectangular Hexagons Tablecloth ($40) has a sleek, modern vibe with a pattern of juxtaposed hexagons in a neutral and contrasting colour palette. It’s the perfect backdrop for a haunted table setting, and for other contemporary table settings throughout the year.

The Spooky Black Wreath from Crate and Barrel ($90) is made from black twigs that almost look feathery. Hang it on your front door, in front of a mirror, or as a table centrepiece with a group of candles.

Wayfair Canada’s Black Gold Spooky Snake Teacups and Saucers ($92) are made from fine porcelain and features delicate gold detailing. Put out some finger sandwiches and host a terrifying tea party with this set.

This is Halloween elegance at its finest: the large Garden Tales Pumpkin Magnet from Swarovski Canada ($50). It sparkles with an incredible 149 facets and can be attached to their Garden Tales Decorative Vase or the Ornament Stand. It’s sure to catch the eyes of many!
