Halloween at home ideas

No Halloween night is complete without a spread of eerie treats and devilishly good snacks. Set the scene with a stylish serving setup that’s as practical as it is eye-catching. The Secret de Gourmet round bamboo snack set is perfect for displaying a range of dips, crisps, or spooky-themed finger foods. Its natural bamboo base adds a touch of warmth to your table, while the sleek white dishes create a crisp contrast that works beautifully with Halloween decorations.

For showcasing larger platters, cheese boards, or charcuterie selections, the Secret de Gourmet presentation board is an elegant choice. Made from durable wood with a smooth finish, it’s ideal for arranging anything from mummy wrapped sausages to pumpkin shaped sandwiches.

Add height and drama to your buffet with the Secret de Gourmet 2 tier wooden serving stand. The dark tones and tiered design make it perfect for layering cupcakes, sweet treats, or spooky savouries while saving space on your table. Combine all three for a truly bewitching buffet that will impress guests of all ages.

You can even enhance the look with simple Halloween decorations such as plastic pumpkins or fake cobwebs.

Cosy horror movie night

When the snacks are ready and the lights go down, it’s time to settle in for a Halloween movie marathon. Creating a warm and inviting space is key to making your night comfortable, especially if the October chill is creeping in. The Deyongs cable sherpa heated throw in taupe (also available in cream) is the ultimate addition to your movie setup. With its plush sherpa lining and adjustable heat settings, it keeps you perfectly snug while you watch your favourite spooky films.

If you’re sharing the sofa, layer up with the Drift Home Hayden throw in grey (other colours available). Its soft texture and contemporary look complement any interior, adding both warmth and style.

Set the mood with soft candlelight and autumnal fragrances. The Woodwick vanilla bean medium candle (more scents available) fills your room with a comforting scent and a gentle crackling sound reminiscent of a roaring fire, perfect for an atmospheric movie night. For a flameless option, try the Atmosphera Sena LED candle set, which gives the same cosy glow without the worry of open flames.

Complete the look with the Casa mushroom dimmable battery operated table lamp in matt green (more colours available). Its soft, adjustable light makes it ideal for creating ambient lighting, while the unique mushroom shape adds a touch of seasonal charm to your space.

With the right lighting, soft blankets, and warm drinks in hand, you’ll be ready for an evening of chills and thrills all from the comfort of your home.

Pumpkin carving

A Halloween classic that never goes out of style, pumpkin carving is a fun and creative activity for all ages. Having the right tools makes it easier and safer to achieve those perfectly spooky designs. The Stellar James Martin 11cm serrated knife is excellent for cutting through tough pumpkin skin and flesh, while the Stellar James Martin 9cm paring knife is ideal for carving out intricate details and facial features.
