If you take your year-round design inspiration from the mid century, why not your outdoor Halloween decor too? We’ve gathered some of our favorites to make your exterior say “Happy Halloween” with a nod to mid mod.
Pumpkins, cats, skulls, and ghosts, oh my!
In the lead image above, you can see Loll Design’s collection of outdoor Halloween decor. Mix and match with different figures, shapes and colors. The best part? They’re made of recycled milk jugs! For more, click here.
Bats in Flight
If you have a metal garage door, this array of magnetic bats are a fun and fuss-free way to add some Halloween touches to your exterior.
Black Starbursts
What could be more mid century than a starburst? These lit starbursts resemble spiders and spider’s webs or witches’ brooms and add some mid century ambience to your Halloween porch.
Mind Your Step!
The spider’s web design in a minimal color palette brings a touch of modern and Halloween to your front doorway.
Vintage Halloween
These cute vintage style Halloween buckets can make for great Trick or Treating baskets, or use them to create a Halloween vignette on your porch.
Make It Marigold
Marigold garlands are a common decorative accent for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) November 2. We think they also look great for Halloween—they are orange, after all.
Mini Bullet Planter, Anyone?
The bullet planter is classic mid century, and this mini one in black can function as Halloween decor. Fill with Halloween candy and then use it for the rest of the year as a planter. The black shape can make an excellent background for a faux spider’s web.
Halloween Forest
We like the idea of seasonal decor you can use for more than one holiday. These orange bottlebrush trees are perfect for Halloween as well as Thanksgiving, and depending on your color palette, perhaps even a vintage themed Christmas too.
