Spooky Halloween Bedroom Decor Ideas and Budget-Friendly Places to Shop

It's the spookiest time of the year and that means it's time to get your bedroom into the Halloween spirit! While Halloween is primarily celebrated throughout the public spaces of your home like the living room and front porch, decking out your bedroom with Halloween decorations can make your sleep space feel extra festive. From creepy candles and string lights to bedding accents and wall decor, there are countless Halloween decor ideas you can incorporate into your bedroom to get into the Halloween mood each night. Here are some top Halloween bedroom decorating ideas along with suggestions on where to find the perfect pieces to bring them to life.

Halloween Bedding

One of the easiest and most impactful ways to Halloween-ify your bedroom is with festive bedding. Swap out your regular pillowcases, sheets, and comforters for pieces with Halloween prints, colors, or fabrics. Look for options with images of bats, ghosts, pumpkins, spiders, and other creepy critters. Black, purple, and orange solids or patterns also work well.

You can find Halloween bedding sets at retailers like Amazon, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart, and specialty online shops. Go all out with a themed duvet cover or opt for simple black sheets if you want something more subtle. Accent pillows are another fun addition.

Halloween String Lights

String lights are a year-round bedroom decor staple, so get some Halloween colors and motifs to dress up your space. Look for orange, purple, and black battery-operated string lights shaped like ghosts, pumpkins, spiders, or skulls. You can drape them along your headboard, around mirrors and picture frames, or weave them through your room’s furnishings. Target, Amazon, Walmart, and HomeGoods usually have a great selection of spooky string lights available. For a subtler vibe, opt for neutral white lights and let your other Halloween decor do the talking.

Wall Decor

Deck your walls with eerie illustrations, signs, and decor to add Halloween flair. Posters, framed prints, decals, and wall hangings with bats, witches, cemeteries, and creepy phrases are fun choices. You can also display Halloween-themed photos in frames. For a natural yet spooky look, hang dried flowers, palm leaves, or pampas grass garlands. Dollar Tree, HomeGoods, Anthropic, and Etsy are all great sources for unique wall art and decor accents. Stick to a single wall or cluster pieces together for maximum impact.

Candles

Scented candles are cozy year-round but take on a whole new Halloween vibe when chosen in festive scents like pumpkin, cider, spice, black cherry, or mysterious midnight.

Look for candles housed in glass containers engraved or painted with Halloween motifs. Flameless LED pillar candles shaped like pumpkins, skulls, or ghosts offer a safer ambient glow. Target, Bath & Body Works, Anthropic, and Amazon carry lots of Halloween candle options. Place single candles or groupings on nightstands, dressers, or floating shelves.

Creepy Dolls and Figurines

If you have the space, creepy dolls or figurines of bats, ghosts, monsters, and witches add an element of spooky whimsy to any bedroom. Rest small statues on shelves, mantlepieces, or book stacks. Vintage-style spooky dolls perched on dressers or nightstands deliver chills. Etsy sellers offer custom handmade pieces while stores like HomeGoods, World Market, and thrift shops have pre-made options. Go for one or two statement pieces or cluster a small collection together.

Halloween Signs

Add a decorative statement with framed signs, wall plaques, or decor signs announcing a festive Halloween message. Look for classic sayings like "Beware" or "Watch Out for Goblins" as well as words like "Booo" and "Halloween." Enamel outdoor signs shaped like tombstones also bring fun. Target, HomeGoods, Anthropic, and Etsy offer various styles. Place one large sign above the bed or cluster smaller plaques on nightstands.

Glow-in-the-Dark Decor

If you like the spooky glow, look for Halloween accents made with glow-in-the-dark materials. Decorative spiders, ghosts, skulls, and monster silhouettes stuck to the walls or curtain rods light up the room in a fun new way after dark. Glow-in-the-dark string lights or stickers with Halloween motifs provide low lighting with a Halloween twist. Amazon and Oriental Trading have a variety of glow-in-the-dark Halloween decorations available.

Pumpkins

Real or faux pumpkins play a starring role in autumnal decor. Try different textures and sizes of pumpkins clustered together on nightstands, dressers, or shelves. Look for candles inside carved pumpkins for ambient light. Metallic, glittery, and velvet pumpkins add visual interest too. Local craft stores and dollar stores carry pumpkins that are ideal for indoor display. Be wary of real pumpkins if you’re prone to bug issues!

Creepy Curtains

Update your bedroom’s windows by switching out curtains or adding valances with Halloween prints, colors or textures. Opt for blackout or semi-sheer options in black, orange, or navy with bats, ghosts, or other Halloween motifs. Some spooky fabric choices feature cobwebs or creepy crawly silhouettes too. Ikea, World Market, and Anthropic offer themed curtains year-round while retailers like JoAnn Fabrics and Hobby Lobby have seasonal selections. Swap out plain valances for blackout ones topped with spiderwebs.

Mirror Accents

Dress up plain old mirrors by framing them with Halloween accents or adhesives. Stick peel-and-stick spiderwebs, skulls, ghosts, or other shapes around the edges or lay fallen autumn leaves in front for visual interest. For a reflective touch, apply a metallic Halloween vinyl decal or two. Rest small creepy figurines, candles, or pampas grass garlands on ledges. Target, Walmart, and Dollar Tree have basic mirror framing elements while Anthropic offers fun wall decals.

Photo Frames

Feature sentimental or spooky photos in frames decked out for Halloween. Look for empty frames styled like jack-o-lanterns, haunted houses, or ebony silhouettes. Stick faded vintage images or printed Halloween photos inside. Arrange clusters of differently shaped frames around your room. Michaels, Walmart, and HomeGoods carry seasonal photo frames. For a personalized touch, decorate plain frames yourself with Halloween stickers, washi tape, or coordinating fabric backing.

Once you have your Halloween bedroom decorations assembled, you can transform your space into a spooky retreat right at home. Get cozy amongst the ghosts and spiders as the festivities outside carry on. With these ideas and shopping spots to find the perfect pieces, you’re ready to deck your bedroom halls for Halloween in style this season. Happy haunting!
