Every Halloween, we find ourselves consumed by a new (and often unexpected) decorating trend. For many years, light projectors were all the rage, then came Home Depot’s famed outdoor skeletons and Pottery Barn’s viral faux pumpkins. Without fail, there’s always some trendy product or design aesthetic that captures the internet’s attention come October – and, in turn, helps us breathe new life into our Halloween decor.
This year, shoppers and TikTok users alike can’t seem to get enough of pastel Halloween decor, which reimagines all of the staple decorating essentials you already know and love – like fake pumpkins, wreaths, mantel accents, and scented candles – but through a more colorful, vibrant lens. The trend rejects the season’s traditionally moodier color palette in favor of something more dopamine-inducing, offering a fun alternative for those looking to infuse a more vibrant flair into their fall decorating scheme.
To help your conquer the trend (yes, even on a budget), we rounded up the best pastel Halloween decor to shop online, with selects that come from our favorite retailers – like Target, Amazon, Anthropologie, and more. Whether you’re hoping to add a couple baubles to your mantel, are dressing up a kid’s room with some more playful accents, or simply stocking up on decorations for a holiday party, this unique Halloween decor is sure to serve you well this season – and for future Halloween celebrations, too.
