Halloween has become an increasingly popular tradition in our country. Whether it is influenced by cinema or television, the truth is that your guests will have a great time at your party if you take note of our decor ideas.
Skeleton cookies
We think this recipe for Halloween skeleton cookies from Un Bizcocho para Teo is fantastic to serve on trays during your Halloween party. If you want to copy it, buy a mold similar to those of Christmas gingerbread cookies, copy this recipe for carrot and almond cookies, and decorate them in the shape of bones.
A scary welcome
Do not hesitate to decorate the door of your house as in the image so that the guests get into the atmosphere as soon as they arrive. You will only need some continuous green paper and some cardstock.
Black and orange
Without a doubt, these are the two colors that you will have to play with, although what we like the most about this idea is the ingenious ‘chandelier’ that you can make yourself and achieve an equally impressive effect.
Also in the toilet
Simpler and terrifying! impossible…
Details
Make little bats out of black cardboard and decorate corners like this with them. Trick or Treating?
The walls
The walls will be your great allies to decorate your house on Halloween. There is a thousand and one decorative vinyl that you can use. And if not, continuous white paper and cardboard cutouts with terrifying shapes. It will be the place where everyone will want to take photos!
Photocall
If weddings have ‘photocalls’ … why not your Halloween party? This pumpkin-shaped balloon heho is so cool!
pumpkins
Halloween can also be very elegant: this corner with painted pumpkins (you can do it with spray to make it easier) is the most programmable.
Pumpkin cupcakes
In Un Bizcocho para Teo they also propose a different way to present your cupcakes. If you want to make them at home, follow this recipe for blueberry balsamic vinegar muffins and decorate them with jelly beans.
Skulls
This time, we draw on Mexican tradition to create garlands with Catrina-type skulls with lots of colors.
Catrinas
In this corner, color takes over the day of the dead with inspiration from the Mexican tradition.
Entry
Of course, you will have to have a corner prepared so that the ‘witches’ who visit you leave their hats and brooms hanging safely …
The Windows
Such a simple touch will make a difference. Of course, avoid adhesives to avoid damaging the crystals.
The Windows
This DIY project takes a bit more work – you’ll need pallets, XXL pumpkins, and a bit of time, but the result is great …
A scary menu
You definitely have to serve the table like in this picture. And the thing is … what Halloween party will it be if you don’t have a good cauldron with your secret potion? The orange balloons (and a touch of black marker) will give you a lot of play.

Decoration ideas (and original recipes) for Halloween
The entrance
Welcome (or scare) your guests with a couple of ghosts (some old sheets on a stand or even a chair), a set of ‘trick or treat’ posters that you can make out of cardboard, pumpkins, and some black strips in the shape of a spider web stuck to the ground (or strings attached with tape) … and you will have it ready in 5 minutes!
Meringue ghosts
The key to these meringue ghosts proposed by Un Bizcocho para Teo is in the eyes, which we propose to put with caramel berries. Irresistible!
Pumpkins
Okay, this pumpkin is not scary. But she’s so cute …
Food table
Play with black and orange on the table too.
Shades
The difference here is made by the shadows on the wall: as easy as making cardboard silhouettes and placing candles underneath to give a scary look.
Scared reception
Again some boards (and even cardboard) were painted to create a terrifying entrance.
Ghosts
The ghost garland is very easy to make: you only need white paper, markers, and a little thread.
Zombie’s eyes
Would you dare to try these ‘zombie eyes’ that Norma Salinas offers us? Your guests, of course, will be very surprised …
Witches
The black card will allow you to create endless shapes that, placed on the windows or on the walls, will give a scary look.
Witches
Another good example of what you can get with black construction paper and some pumpkins.
Pumpkins
These pumpkins may not be too scary, but they are great!
Colors
Another good example of how to place the table with black and orange as the main characters.
Witch house
It couldn’t be easier than hanging up a few witch hats and setting up some brooms, and the effect is perfect.
Balloons
The balloons, painted at will with a black marker, are a quick and easy option to create scary corners.
Dead Mark
Turn your living room into a crime scene … perfect.
Entry
We think it is a great idea to welcome your guests!
Zombies
Blow up some latex gloves, color them with spray or tempera, and ‘plant’ them. Without a doubt, terrifying …
Lights
In this case, the play of light makes the difference. It will be enough to put colored paper around your lamps to achieve a similar effect.
There’s a spider in my dessert!
They serve it at El Laurel, and we are not sure if we dare to put the spoon in … If you want, you can also put spiders on the pizzas by making them with anchovies and black olives.

Fireplace
Chic touch
Without a doubt the most sophisticated proposal. And it is that who said that Halloween could not be a party with a lot of glamors?
Balloons
A very simple and great idea for decorating the Halloween table.
Who said that the fir tree was only placed for Christmas? On Halloween, we swapped the balls and tinsel for decorations – scary!
