While traditionally Halloween has taken a darker route in decor, 2024 is redefining that aesthetic. The latest Halloween decorating trends incorporate vintage elements, bold patterns, and an eruption of vibrant colours, providing a fresh, lively twist. So how is Halloween shaping up in terms of interior decoration? Here are some sure-fire trends that will help you create a mesmerizing Halloween atmosphere that is both trendy and nostalgic.
1. A vintage Halloween
The ’70s are making a comeback. This year, vintage and antique furniture have topped interior design trends. It’s not shocking to see retro aesthetics also making their way into Halloween decorations. One of the most notable elements is the ‘Hippie Halloween decor,’ which has spectacularly risen by 190 per cent in popularity, as per recent statistics. Followed closely by ‘Disco Halloween’ decor gaining favor with an increase of 175 per cent. The ’90s are not far behind, with a rise in popularity by 140 percent. The revelation here is vintage, going back in time whilst celebrating Halloween.
2. Beetlejuice- inspired stripes
Black and white timeless stripes are owning the Halloween decor scene this year. Channelling the gothic glamour vibe prevalent in the sequel of the blockbuster, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, stripes are marking successful strides in setting the trend. According to Cassandra Leisz, Creative Director at Ruggable, when stylizing your home, you should consider stripes as the main design element to achieve the Beetlejuice-inspired style. This bold pattern has been known to create dramatic depth and adds a visual pop to any decor backdrop.
3. ‘Pinkoween’
Stepping away from the eerie and ghoulish, Halloween is bidding its dark side a temporary goodbye by welcoming a pink make-over. This rising decor trend can be attributed to the evolution of aesthetic demands, which currently lean towards pastel colours. The term coined to represent this trend, ‘Pinkoween,’ is a chic improvement in Halloween aesthetics. Thus, if you fancy blush or bubble gum, rosy palettes rule this Halloween season, according to Etsy’s trend expert, Dayna Isom Johnson.
4. Minimalist Way
In a quest for individuality this Halloween, interior designers suggest leaning towards a minimalist tablescaping trend. By focusing on sleek designs, muted colours, plush furnishings, and small luxurious details, your home can achieve an understated lavishness, while sticking to the Halloween theme. You can add authenticity to your decor through vintage elements and portray sophistication through neutral tones of pumpkins. To perfect the minimalistic style, use low lighting accompanied by darker candlestick holders.
5. Houseplants & Gourds
One prominent Halloween style this year involves bringing life to your space through indoor plants. Pairing these with gourds will not only provide an eerily charming display but also strike a balance between modern and traditional aesthetics. Bring the Calathea Crocata Tassmania’s vivid orange flower spikes into your house for a touch of autumn warmth. You can also opt for a Zamioculcas Black Raven for its dark, glossy leaves or an Aeschynanthus Rasta for a haunting twist with its curling foliage. Introducing houseplants and gourds into your decor will definitely capture the fascinating spirit of Halloween.
In conclusion, vintage trends, along with other factors like lighter and playful colours, are redefining Halloween 2024. It’s not about dressing up the interior with gory decor, but rather embracing the fun and humour, offering a jovial twist to celebrate the season. These top trends will help in remixing the traditional Halloween aesthetic into something more modern and stylish. Don’t overlook minimalism and the incorporation of houseplants in achieving an exceptional Halloween decor this year.
