IKEA Introduces Adorable Halloween Assortment, Enticing Children Yet Likely to Pique Adults' Interest as Well - The Items in This Collection are Likely to Capture My Attention Too

Decorating for Halloween doesn't have to be spooky and simple. With a few clever ideas, you can honour the spooky season without sacrificing style. Designer Janette Ewen shares her tips for creating an elevated Halloween tablescape.

In her design, Janette recommends layering natural elements like branches and berries with vintage tabletop decor. She suggests incorporating themed accessories like Halloween witch silhouettes, decorative pumpkins, and candle arrangements. For a cohesive design, aim for matching tableware and accents that enhance the spooky festive mood.

Classic shows like Interview with a Vampire and current shows like Wednesday can provide inspiration for an elevated Halloween tablescape. Every element in the design of these shows hints at a story or a mystery, adding an air of intrigue to your tablescape.

To achieve a high-quality Halloween table setting, consider using deep, dark colours like weathered black, slate, olive greens, deep browns, and dark berry tones. To balance these dark colours, Janette recommends using levels of deeper yellow-brown or ochre.

budget-friendly options include spider tealight holders and the affordable glass candlestick from H&M, which resembles a potion bottle and contrasts well with the IKEA candlestick set.

IKEA's Halloween offering aims to eschew the disposability of the season. The collection includes a handpainted, 19th-century inspired serving bowl designed by Oscar-winning costume and set designer Catherine Martin, a smoky blue-gray serving plate, and a throw with a monochrome, raw-edged ghostly design from the KUSTFYR collection.

String lights are mundane individually but can add magic to a witchy dinner with the right setting and accessories. Don't forget to add natural autumn elements like leaves and fruits placed around candles for atmosphere.

A glass jar in the collection is a clear glass jar with a ghost design, suitable for candy or trinkets. A glass jug can be used for a signature cocktail, ambient lighting, or faux flowers.

To complete the look, consider using creative elements such as handcrafted bead table runners and carefully folded themed napkins. A candle resembling a hand holding a jet-black vessel is both chic and kitschy in design, adding a final touch to your elevated Halloween tablescape.

In designing an elevated Halloween tablescape, layers are key in creating a gothic luxury look. With these tips, you can create a spooky yet stylish tablescape that will impress your guests this Halloween.
