2. Playful Front Porch Halloween Decorations
It’s a little silly but still a little spooky. You can also do a lot with traditional colors, especially when you apply your creativity to the layout of your decorations. You’ll be amazed what inspiration you can find when you search for some free design images on Google!

We love how we get a little splash of fun with the smiling doorway blended with the traditional jack-o-lanterns. Bats mounted on the siding appear to be in motion, just like the creepy fuzzy spider hanging on the window to the left. The icing on the cake is the skeleton hands hanging on the doorknob, inviting trick-or-treaters to knock and greet their host!
3. Keeping it Simple but Sweet
@moodyblueshome
There’s also a lot of value to be found in keeping your designs minimal. You don’t need to spend much time or money transforming your home for spooky season. For example, Moody Blues keeps things simple but sweet by creating a clear focal point on their front porch, while using simple but eye-catching decor inside their home.
Placing two pumpkin towers next to the front door takes seconds but changes everything about your home’s mood. Even if you have a small budget and no time, you can still bring magic to your home! As you can see, even a little effort can summon the mood of Halloween to your doorway.
