Seasonal Decor Tips

How to Give Your House that Halloween Look with Handmade Items

With Halloween just around the corner, if you’re anything like me, you’re probably already thinking about ways to conjure a bit of spooky magic in your home. This time of year is a favorite of many Cheerdocious customers. There is something about the nice, cold fall air, the smell of pumpkin spice, and deep feelings of decorating that makes everything feel so cozy and festive.

This collection of unique, one-of-a-kind pieces will set your home apart in the best way— they are great for adding personality to your home and incorporating Halloween decor. Let’s jump straight into a little fun and relatively easy styling with our super cute handmade Halloween goodies.

Walls Are Your Best Bet: Pumpkin Wall Art

If you have considered seasonal decor, then look no further than your walls. Some people are really good at dressing their home for every occasion. You can be one of those people by incorporating this handmade pumpkin wall art to bring a whimsical touch of fall right into your living room, kitchen, or entryway.

Hang this above your fireplace, or make a small nook by your front door where they can warmly greet your guests. You can then match them up with some additional rustic wooden frame photos of family in a fall setting. The rich bright color of the pumpkins will give an instant festive feel to the room.

If you have a gallery wall, consider rotating in seasonal artwork to add some personality. It’s an easy no-fuss refresh for the season, and these handmade pieces offer a sense of warmth and craftsmanship that mass decor just can’t touch.

Shelve It: Black Cat Society Framed Shelf Sitter

So, let’s talk about those shelves and mantels of yours. These areas are prime real estate for decorating with Halloween flair, and our Black Cat Society Small Framed Shelf Sitter is the perfect way to do it. Another fan favorite is the 6” x 6” Zombie warning.

Put these on an eye-level shelf, directly above your favorite books, or set it out on the mantel. Small enough for any spot but big on personality, this object will speak volumes for your space. Add in some vintage-inspired candlesticks, and maybe some tiny pumpkins; then, you’ve got yourself a darling Halloween vignette.

Layers in various textures and colors, such as some dry wheat stalks, burlap, or a few black feathers to add a little drama. The secret is to keep trying various ideas until you create something right for your home.

Light It Up: Spooky Wicks Candy and Pumpkin Scented Candles

And what Halloween decorations are complete without the perfect lighting? This is where our Spooky Wicks candy- and pumpkin-scented candles come in. They smell delicious and have the perfect flicker, they set just the right mood.

Sweep these candles along your dining table, or put them in your windows to welcome trick-or-treaters. Hosting a Halloween party? They make fantastic centerpieces—just nestle them into a wreath of fall leaves or surround them with miniature gourds for an easy and festive display.

But here’s the bonus: Those artisan candles are far more than decorative—that waft through your home of smells of the seasons makes everything seem warm and inviting. It’s like you’re getting a big, warm hug every single time you walk into the room.

Drink in the Eerie: Custom Halloween Tumblers and Mugs

Ok, let’s now talk about one of my favorite parts of decorating—adding those final touches that make everyday moments special. Our Halloween tumblers and mugs are perfect for that! Whether you are sipping slow on a cup of morning joe or enjoying a frothy hot cocoa on a cold night, these clever vessels will put a smile on your face.

We’re talking about a tumbler with the Sanderson Sisters and Bigfoot or choose a little touch of Harry Potter magic, in case you really wanted to get whimsical with your drinkware collection. And the mugs themselves? Who could resist “You’ll be the strange smell in the attic” or “Stirring the pot since birth“? Playful, kooky, and just the right amount of spooky.

Use mixers and mugs to infuse your kitchen with some Halloween fun! Display them on open shelves or hang them on a mug tree for easy access and a little seasonal spice. They’re also excellent for talking points when you’ve someone ’round!

Mix It All Together for a Cozy Halloween Home

Now that you have all these wonderful handmade things, it’s time to pull it all into place. The beauty of handmade decoration is warming, full character, and personalization within someone’s home. They tell a story. And they make your place feel yours alone.

It all starts with a color palette: black and orange, classic; perhaps you prefer a little more subdued, earthy look. From wall art to shelf sitters, candles to drinkware, combine all these for a seamlessly cozy atmosphere that ushers in October.

Don’t forget to top with soft throws, a few decorative pillows, and maybe even a spooky wreath on the front door. Beautifully ready, it will be a space warm and cozy for all of Halloween’s fun.

And here it is, friends! With so few selectively chosen handcrafts, your abode can have that Halloween feel, the personal touch, and grace. Whether you are going for spooky, cute, or anything in between, you were sure to find just the right creation to decorate your space with. Happy Decorating!
