6 Halloween Decor Releases We Cant Wait to Get Our Hands On

Once September hits, it’s all about Halloween. From pumpkin carving and crafts to haunting home decor, each year brings a slew of fresh trends. This year’s Halloween decor releases are too frightening and adorable to pass up. Retailers known for their holiday home decor, like The Home Depot, West Elm, and HomeGoods, have stocked their latest collections, creating a buzz among Halloween fanatics.

Embrace a witchy aesthetic with crystals, cauldrons, hanging witch hats, and eerie black accents to bring an enchanting, mystical air to your home. According to Beth Smith, managing director of Terrain, “Witch-inspired decor remains ever popular, but with more intricate designs that blend mysticism and modern flair.” Expect standout pieces like the black vine witch hat, balancing tradition with innovation. Additionally, viral floating candles inspired by Harry Potter have taken over TikTok. These flameless candles, hung with fishing line and activated with a “magic” wand, add a whimsical touch.

Forget the traditional fall color palette; this year, we’re celebrating “Pinkoween” with pink ghosts, pumpkins, and skeletons. Amanda Nichols, trend and design expert at Michaels, explains, “Pinkoween appeals to those who love the holiday but prefer a more colorful, feminine, or pastel vibe.” Unexpected sunset hues and ’70s-inspired patterns in the Hippie Hallow collection have gone viral, breaking away from the classic orange and black palette. Keiko Lynn, HomeGoods Featured Finder, adds, “You might not expect wicker bats, ceramic ghosts, florals, and stripes to go well together, but when they’re all in shades of pink, it’s a match made in Halloween heaven.”

The Home Depot leads the charge in frightening animatronics with their collection of poseable skeletons and realistic giant-sized decorations. “The 12-foot giant-sized Skelly remains a fan favorite, and this year, he’s joined by Skelly’s dog for even more impact,” says Lance Allen, senior product merchant of decorative holiday for The Home Depot. Other notable pieces include the Levitating Reaper, Knight Dullahan, and Frankenstein’s Monster, showcasing advanced technology like servo motors and LED lighting for extra realism.

TikTok influencers are obsessed with collecting Anthropologie’s juice glasses, now available with Halloween icons like candy corns, black cats, and skulls. Katherine Finder, chief merchandising officer of AnthroLiving, notes that these mystic icon juice glasses have been extremely popular since their release last month. Customers are also gravitating towards spooky appetizer plates, festive serveware, and crow candle holders.

For those who prefer chilling accents, spooky creatures like bats and spiders are a hit. Think wicker bats, spider candle holders, and lace fabrics resembling creepy spider webs. Beth Smith from Terrain mentions, “Our collection of new black lace entertaining is expected to be in high demand this fall, adding a hauntingly chic touch to any Halloween gathering, blending style and festivity in perfect harmony.”

Last year’s trend of Wednesday Addams costumes extends into home decor. Pottery Barn’s Wednesday-inspired collection features character-shaped pillows, spider-webbed welcome mats, and replicas of icons from the series, including the iconic disembodied hand, Thing, a light-up raven, and a recreation of the Nevermore Academy.

This year’s Halloween decor brings fresh and exciting options, from mystical witchy designs to playful Pinkoween themes. Whether you prefer traditional spooky decorations or colorful and whimsical pieces, 2024’s decor releases offer something for everyone. Dive into spooky season with these standout pieces that blend tradition with innovation and festivity with style.
