Halloween is one of my favorite times to dress up the porch, and this year I’m leaning into a mix of spooky and playful touches that feel festive without being over the top. Orange globe lights add the perfect warm glow as the days get shorter, while hanging paper jack-o’-lanterns bring a bit of whimsy and movement. A few ghostly figures tucked into corners or floating from the trees always make me smile, and suspended witch hats are such an easy trick to make it look like a little magic is in the air. Of course, no Halloween porch is complete without a giant spider in the middle of a web stretched across the posts, and I love finishing things off with foraged branches in tall pots accented by black crows for that moody, storybook touch. It’s all about layering light, movement, and texture so your porch feels like the perfect welcome for neighbors and trick-or-treaters alike. If you’re ready to bring some of these ideas to life, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite Halloween porch finds over on Amazon to make it easy to shop the look.
