I am very particular about the Halloween decor that I like. If I had to describe my Halloween decor style it would be “Not So Spooky & Glam.” Here are 5 ways to decorate that will for sure get oooh’s and ahhh’s from your kids.
Go Batty

You will not believe the price…$1.79 for 12 bats, thanks to Hobby Lobby! My kids love to help put bats all around our house, and I kind of love how they place them in such random places! But let’s also be honest, I love to make my own display of bats that lead them flying off together somewhere! You can get so creative with this simple item!
2. Dress Up Your Family Photos!
My kids got a kick out of seeing masks on their photos! There are so many fun things you can add to photos:
princess hats
santa hats
googly eyes
a wig
mustaches
big lips
*simply attach with masking tape
3. Place Glittery Creepy Crawlies Around

These window clings are perfect to decorate your kitchen cabinets with too! I actually purchased my set last year, and was able to use them again this year! And since they are glittery…they add a little glam to the space too.
4. Black Cloth and Candles

I was so excited to find this black cloth at the dollar store! As you can see, it really doesn’t take much to add some not so spooky decor to your home! Pairing black taper candles with some vintage brass candlesticks (i’ve found some of these at goodwill, and antique shops) adds some glam and shine thus lightening the mood just the right amount.
5. Pumpkin Pile

Simply piling a bunch of pumpkins together in a space around your hearth, entryway, or end table will add to a cozy and not so spooky Halloween feel. This decor can also easily carry over into Thanksgiving!
I love how simple decorating for Halloween can be! Even just adding the color black and orange around your home can create a festive atmosphere. Have any other not so spooky ideas? I’d love to hear them!
