When I stumbled upon these adorable black and purple skeleton plates at TJ Maxx, I instantly knew they would be perfect for my spooky Halloween tablescape this year.

The beautiful table linens from the Solino Home Fringe Collection perfectly complemented the dishes and other elements I chose.

The Spooky Place-Setting

To create an inviting and textured place setting, I layered two placemats: a rectangular one as the base, topped with a round one featuring scalloped edges. This layering added depth and interest to each setting.

I used a light purple scalloped charger to highlight the charming skeleton dinner and salad plates. The napkins were wrapped with black spider web napkin rings, adding a touch of spookiness to the setup. I completed the look with smoky black goblets and sleek black flatware, enhancing the overall dark and spooky theme.

The Spooky Centerpiece and Table Decor

The centerpiece and additional decorations played a significant role in bringing the spooky tablescape to life. A purple table runner from Solino Home ran down the center of the table, anchoring a black cauldron filled with a dramatic arrangement of black flowers, branches, and berries. This striking centerpiece became the focal point of the table, setting a mysterious and enchanting tone.

To add more character to the tablescape, I included a variety of black and white Halloween dolls, figurines, and black candlesticks. Velvet pumpkins in shades of black and white added a soft yet spooky touch. To top it all off, a black trick-or-treat sign and some black metal crows provided the perfect finishing touches, tying together the spooky Halloween theme beautifully.

I like to keep my Halloween decor simple and this year I chose to do a traditional black and orange theme. I sprinkled in little touches of halloween decor throughout my kitchen and dining room and I love the simplicity of it while still making it feel festive!

Keeping Halloween Decor Simple

I’m so glad I decided to add a little Halloween decor to the kitchen this year. I really loved using the black, white, and orange colors in my kitchen. I stopped doing Halloween decor when my kids got older but I really enjoyed decorating it this year. Guess I’ll have to keep doing it from now on! I switched out all my dishes on the open shelves to black, orange, and white and do you see the charcoal colored goblets in the corner? Would you believe they are from the dollar store! Love it when I can score a good deal like that!

I also like adding decor to my kitchen island and my dining table. Check out my Black and Orange Halloween Tablescape here!

I added a ribbon banner across the bottom of my hood on my stove and then made some black bats on my cricket and stuck them up above on the hood. You could also put a halloween wreath in this space.

Plates are from Anthropolgie but may no longer be available. Pumpkin figurines and dolls were from various stores and no longer available but I’ve linked some similar ones below. Bats were made on a circuit. I found the black goblets at the dollar store but I’ve linked the same ones below.

I also added some halloween figurines into the mix and velvet pumpkins in bowls and scattered around the kitchen. You can never have enough velvet pumpkins!

I always utilize the open shelving to display seasonal and holiday decor as well as dishes that match the theme of my decor. Loved adding the black, orange, and white dishes into the halloween decor. I also like to add cake stands with halloween treats like cookies or cupcakes for everyone to enjoy!

I’ve linked as many of the items or similar items below. Many of the figurines have been collected over the years so I’m not able to find links for them to share but most of them came from Safeway grocery stores and are from Debi Lily’s collection that Safeway sells.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this simple halloween decor I added to my kitchen. You don’t have to go all out to make it feel like Halloween! Keep it simple as a little goes a long way with these bold colors! Happy Halloween!

Who’s ready for Halloween? I’m not a big Halloween decorator but I do love a spooky tablescape!

Halloween Tablescape Must Have List

Here are links to my must-haves to recreate this spooky tablescape above.

• Spider placemats
• Main black plates
• Orange salad plates
• Black dessert plates
• White Flatware
• Black goblets
• White napkins
• Spider napkin rings
• Black and White Striped Tray
• Cake stand
• Velvet pumpkins

• Black and orange beads
• Black and White striped pumpkins

Tips on How to Recreate this Halloween Tablescape

Tip #1: Pick Your Theme

I first pick a theme when I do a tablescape. I chose to do this Halloween tablescape with a black and orange theme.

Tip #2: Come up with the Place-Setting

After I’ve chosen a theme for the tablescape, I come up with a place-setting that matches my theme. In this halloween tablescape, I used black and orange dinnerware, a white napkin with a spiderweb napkin ring, spider web placemats, black goblets, and white flatware. One thing to consider when creating your place-setting is what are you serving? I always make my Homemade Award Winning Chili Recipe, cornbread or my Scones (Utah Fried Bread) and Honey Butter Recipe on Halloween so I added bowls to serve the chili in for this place-setting.

Tip #3: Create a Centerpiece

Instead of flowers, I decided to use some of the halloween figurines that I had and used those to create a centerpiece. First I layered a spider web tablecloth in the middle of the table. The I added the tallest figurines in the center of the table and then tapered the rest of the table decor lower as you move outward. I then filled in the center of the table with decorative items such as velvet pumpkins, black and white striped mini pumpkins, black and orange beads, black and white striped trays, and candles.

Tip #4: Use the Dessert for Decoration

I love using dessert to decorate the table and fill in any holes that the decor doesn’t cover. This is a great way to add layers to your tablescape and it’s also perfect for when you want to serve dessert on the table. You can add all of the food to the table on serving trays or bowls but I just did the dessert in this tablescape.

Wising you all a Happy Halloween and I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of this Halloween Tablescape.

It’s time for another post on my Holiday Hosting at home series!  I’ve teamed up with two of my talented friends who enjoy hosting and entertaining as much as I do. This week are sharing some recipes, tablescapes, and fall decor. With Halloween and Thanksgiving right around the corner we have come up with some fun ideas for hosting and entertaining. I hope you’ll find some inspiration here for hosting and entertaining in your own homes!

Here is what my friends have been sharing this week for their fall home decor and tablescapes.  If you would like to pin any of these images, please go to the original post linked below each image.  Check out their entire posts  – there is so much beauty and inspiration in each of these, you’ll be amazed.

To Have + To Host

A few years ago, Lory was drawn to a beautiful fall tablescape from a high-end table-top rental company.  When she added up the cost of it for 6 people she realized it would be about $2000! She decided to try and duplicate it for much less and was able to do it for $200. She shares the original tablescape that she found the inspiration from and her version of it and how she was able to do it for less money.  Click here to see Lory’s Friendsgiving Tablescape.

Next, Lory shares how she made these super cute jack-o-lantern stuffed peppers. They are simple to make, yet impressive! They are also healthy! Veggies and Protien all in one!  The recipe calls for turkey or beef but you can use quinoa to make it vegetarian. I love this cute idea!  To see the details and the recipe click here: Jack-o-lantern stuffed peppers.

Holliday was inspired to make this beautiful  Thanksgiving Tree with Pumpkins from a bin of unused fall decor items. This is such a creative idea and if you love christmas trees like I do, here is one more reason to make a thanksgiving tree! Click on the link above for the details!

Holliday also shared her Elegant Halloween Tablescape with Pumpkins. The colors are the traditional halloween black and orange, but Holliday added in some softer colors that make this table a little more elegant. I absolutely love how this turned out! For the details, click on the the link above.

This week I shared my Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin recipe on the blog.  This is one of my favorite fall recipes.  My family loves it when I make theses and they don’t last long when they come out of the oven.  I also shared a recipe on how to make your own Pumpkin Spice.  This can be used in any recipe that calls for pumpkin spice or pumpkin pie spice.  You can make your own spice mix and never run out! Both recipes are linked above in the same post.

A few weeks ago I shared my favorite homemade roll recipe.  This is the best roll recipe! I make these for every holiday and on special occasions.  You won’t be disappointed when you try these delicious rolls! Click here for the recipe and details: The Best Homemade Rolls
