Halloween is just around the corner and we need to be ready to welcome it. We all love Halloween and the spirit of it.
It is the time of the year when we all decorate our homes and we all have to agree that Halloween decorations are the coolest ones.
1. Create a Haunted House on Your Balcony
This balcony is a great example of how to create a haunted house vibe in your outdoor space. The black and white color scheme is so classic and the black and white balloon garland is a fun touch that adds a little something extra to the space.
You can also see how the balcony is filled with a variety of Halloween decorations. From the skeleton to the black cat, the witch and the ghosts, there’s no shortage of spooky characters in this space.
2. Add Some Spooky Silhouettes
A simple and effective way to decorate your balcony for Halloween is to add some spooky silhouettes. You can make your own or buy pre-made ones like these from Etsy.
To make your own, all you need is some black cardstock, scissors, and tape. Cut out your spooky shapes and tape them to the inside of your railing so that they face out. When the lights come on, your spooky silhouettes will come to life!
3. Create a Spooky Scene with a Fog Machine
If you’re really looking to make a statement with your Halloween balcony decor, you can’t forget to add a fog machine. The eerie mist will set the scene and make your balcony look extra spooky. Plus, it’s an easy way to hide any unsightly views if you live in a city or have a balcony that overlooks a busy street.
This setup from The Home Depot is perfect for a small balcony. A few pumpkins, some fall foliage, and a couple of hanging bats are all you need to create a fun and festive Halloween display.
4. Add a Few Halloween Inflatables
If you have a larger balcony, you can even add a few Halloween inflatables to your decor. I love how this balcony is filled with inflatables that are all different sizes and shapes. It gives off a really fun and festive feel!
If you have a smaller balcony, you can still add inflatables, just be mindful of the size. I’d recommend choosing just one inflatable to make the most of your space.
5. Make it Glow
Glow in the dark paint, string lights, and even Halloween-themed neon signs are a fun way to add a little extra light to your balcony. If you’re short on space, try a light up garland or a simple string of lights that you can hang from the ceiling.
6. Add a Few Halloween Balcony Decorations
If you’re looking for a simple way to add some Halloween spirit to your balcony, consider a few decorations.
You don’t have to go over the top to make an impact. A few well-placed decorations will do the trick.
In this example, a wreath, a few pumpkins, and some string lights add a festive touch to this cozy balcony.
7. Hang a Few Creepy Creatures
What’s Halloween without a few creepy creatures? Drape some oversized spiders, bats, and crows on your balcony railings and banisters to give your space a spooky feel.
You can also hang some of these decorations from the ceiling or attach them to the walls.
8. Create a Spooky Balcony with a Few Bats
If you have a small balcony and you’re not sure how to decorate it for Halloween, then you should take a note from this design and simply hang a few bats from the ceiling!
This is a super simple way to add some spooky decor to your balcony and it’s really affordable. You can find bat decorations at most stores or you can make your own with black paper or cardboard.
9. Add a Few Spiders
You can easily add a few fake spiders to your existing potted plants and outdoor decor. You can find fake spiders at most craft stores, and they’re super affordable. You can even make your own fake spiders with black pipe cleaners and googly eyes.
If you’re not a fan of spiders, you can add some fake bats to your outdoor space instead. Hang them from your balcony railing or from the ceiling of your balcony.
10. Create a Spooky Scene with a Few Skeletons
If you’re looking for a way to make a big impact with just a few Halloween decorations, then look no further than this balcony. The pair of skeletons is the main attraction, but the addition of a few pumpkins and some black and white striped fabric adds to the spooky scene.
If you want to go all out with a scary balcony, you can add a few more skeletons to the mix. You can even have one hanging from the railing or climbing up the side of your home for a truly terrifying scene.
11. Add Some Halloween Window Clings
If you’re looking for a super simple way to add some Halloween flair to your balcony, window clings are the way to go. They’re a no-fuss way to add some color and fun to your balcony and they’re super easy to take down when the season is over.
These cute clings come in a variety of designs and are a super affordable way to decorate your balcony.
12. Create a Spooky Scene with a Few Witches
It’s not every day you see a few witches hanging out on a balcony, but that’s exactly what makes this Halloween balcony decor idea so fun!
Hang witches’ hats, broomsticks, and a few witches in your balcony garden to create a spooky scene. Then, add a few pumpkins and a black cat figurine to finish the look.
This is a great way to show off your Halloween spirit, and it’s super easy to do!
13. Add a Few Jack O’ Lanterns
You can’t go wrong with a few classic jack o’ lanterns. You can carve them, paint them, or just buy some from the store and line them up outside your door.
If you’re worried about them getting wet, you can use artificial pumpkins instead. You can reuse them every year and you don’t have to worry about them rotting.
If you don’t have much room, you can also hang them from the ceiling or place them on a small table.
14. Create a Spooky Scene with a Few Ghosts
This balcony is a perfect example of how to decorate with a few statement pieces. The large ghost and pumpkin are the focal points of the space and everything else is just a bonus.
If you have a small balcony or just don’t want to put in a ton of effort, this is a great way to decorate.
15. Add Some Creepy Cloth
Add some creepy cloth to your railings and hang some from the ceiling to give your balcony a haunted house feel.
You can also use it to cover any unsightly items you can’t move or to cover your outdoor furniture.
16. Create a Spooky Scene with a Few Scarecrows
If you’ve got a lot of space to work with, why not create a whole scene? Add a few scarecrows, a pumpkin patch, and a creepy tree to make your balcony feel like a haunted farm.
By using a few large decor pieces, you can easily fill up a lot of space without having to buy a ton of decorations.
17. Add a Few Tombstones
A few fake tombstones can quickly transform your balcony into a spooky cemetery. You can find these at your local Halloween store, or you can make your own by painting some wood or cardboard.
If you’re feeling crafty, you can add some funny sayings to your tombstones, like “I’ll be back,” “I told you I was sick,” or “I’m just resting my eyes.”
18. Create a Spooky Scene with a Few Mummies
If you have a small balcony and want to give it a bit of Halloween flair, try creating a mini scene with a few mummies.
This balcony decor idea is simple to put together, and you can add a few more mummies to your scene as you collect more Halloween decor.
19. Add Some Creepy Music
The perfect finishing touch to your Halloween balcony decor is music. You can play a spooky Halloween playlist or simply add some sound effects to your outdoor space.
If you don’t want to bother with a playlist or sound effects, you can also buy a premade Halloween speaker. These are great because they can be used year after year and they’re easy to use.
20. Create a Spooky Scene with a Few Zombies
If you have a larger balcony, you can create a whole spooky scene with a few zombies like this one from @ourwintonhome.
You can place them around your seating area, or even have them climbing up your railing for a fun and unexpected touch.
21. Add a Few Creepy Plants
What Halloween decor is complete without a few creepy plants? You can add a few artificial plants to your balcony decor or even make a few spooky plants of your own.
To make your own spooky plants, you can grab some artificial plants from the craft store and then spray paint them black, orange, or white. You can also add a few plastic spiders, skeletons, or other creepy creatures to your planters for a fun and easy Halloween touch.
22. Create a Spooky Scene with a Few Eyeballs
If you’re short on time, you can still create a spooky Halloween scene on your balcony. Hang a few sets of string lights and then hang some plastic eyeballs from the lights. It’s a simple and quick way to add some creepiness to your outdoor space.
