Furthermore, mystical, whimsical, and nature-driven aesthetics have become very popular in 2023, so by embracing these trends, you'll remain current while still fulfilling your witchy needs.  

Discover the best witchy home furnishings you can bring into your lair and other stylish ideas to try this Halloween.

What is Witchy Home Decor?

Witchy home decor, often referred to as "witchy decor" or "witchcraft decor," is a style of interior design that draws inspiration from various elements of witchcraft, mysticism, nature, and the supernatural.

This interior design trend is a way to infuse a sense of magic into your home. Think mushrooms, crystals, dark tones, decadent materials of lush velvet or floral patterns, and natural elements like wood.  

Rustic-looking and reclaimed wood furniture is a must. These pieces are chic and can work with any theme; however, natural wood blends superbly with witchy decor, creating autumnal and cottagecore vibes fitting for the season.

Purchase a Reclaimed Dining Table

A reclaimed dining table is always elegant and rich in history, bringing character and traditional taste to a space. 

Furthermore, reclaimed furniture is eco-friendly and sustainable; what once may have been part of a barn or train sleeper has been transformed into a functional and attractive piece for your home. 

Imagine dining at your reclaimed table surrounded by pumpkins, fake cobwebs, and candles while watching the leaves fall outside – since you’ve reduced your carbon footprint you’ll feel more aligned with nature. 

Also, decorating a wooden table with a cloth or Halloween centrepiece is easy, but this isn't necessary. Our reclaimed tables are durable so they can withstand little fingers, and their aesthetics alone speak for itself!

Display Dark Wood Bookshelves

Of course, you’ll need somewhere to put your spellbooks, making a bookcase an essential piece of furniture.

Pick a dark-coloured bookcase to stay in keeping with the witchy theme. Also, stick with wood.

A reclaimed bookcase will complement your sustainable dining table and enable you to display other items as well as books, such as plants, crystals, jars of herbs, precious knick-knacks, and whatever else speaks to your witchy heart.

Display Indoor Lighting

It’s important to get your indoor lighting right to capture the essence of Halloween. 

Turn off your main lights and incorporate lamps of different heights, i.e. floor lamps and table lamps, to throw varying levels of light in your home.

An aged copper table lamp is perfect for a stylish, gothic-inspired space, creating pools of ambient light to emphasise your boho, witchy home decor.

Whether it's the darker months or not, a cosy corner or two in your home is always a must and is only complete if you have some great lamps!

Consider Your Colour Scheme

Dark colours, such as warm red, orange, forest green, and woody brown, all work within a home to create earthy vibes, particularly during Halloween.

However, to bring a sense of the supernatural into your lair, play with dark blues, deep purples, and, of course, black. 

Think indigo-painted walls, black picture frames, terracotta-coloured throws, and purple rugs. 

Also, incorporate touches of silver and copper to make your space look more magical. 

Silver tableware, copper jugs, or even shimmering glitter cushions are a nod to the bright stars at night, especially against a dark backdrop illuminated by the various lamps you add.

Spooky Centrepieces

As mentioned, you can easily decorate your reclaimed table to suit any time of year.

In autumn, when approaching the dark nights of Halloween, dress your table with a black cloth – add black or white lace if you’re feeling extra decadent!

Make a centrepiece from your foraged items. Display some carved pumpkins. Alternatively, incorporate faux pumpkins, ones made of glass or velvet. Bring in some little ceramic ghosts. Finish your table off with some dried flowers. 

Haunted Garden Vibe

Don’t allow your witchy decor to stop at the door. In fact, if you have a garden, this provides even more opportunity to create mystical vibes and really let your magical powers with design shine!

So, what are some outdoor Halloween home decor ideas?

An autumnal wreath on your door is always a good start.

Halloween garden decor should also include twinkly lights, a water feature or two, faux mushrooms, garden ornaments, such as gnomes and fairies, and, of course, more pumpkins!

Consider hanging wind chimes in the trees to create an eerie and ethereal sound.

You will need appropriate outdoor garden furniture to enable you to enjoy your magical garden, and, for the colder and darker nights, an outdoor fire pit will bring some warmth. Additionally, the smell and sound of the fire will enrich your senses while the flames throw flickering, mysterious light.
