Exciting Halloween Decor Ideas for the Front Door

Halloween is almost here, which means that it is time to get your costume out of your closet, and your decorations out of your garage.

When it comes to decorating your house for Halloween, your front door should always be your top priority. If your front door does not look scary, no other element will be able to make up for its inadequacy.

A large number of Halloween visitors usually just see the front door and nothing else, and that is the reason why the front door must be able to make a grand statement.

Front door decor ideas

If you love to keep things simple and fun, you can take two plates and turn them into eyes, and design the mouth with the help of a tape. Then just like that, your Door Monster has come to life!

Since spiders creep out a lot of people, it’s always fun to litter the front door with them. The more spiders, the better!

Maybe take your spider theme to the next level with a spider attack! All it takes is some panty-hose and spiders made of plastic!

Whether on their own or accompanied by spiders, bats always add a great Halloween touch! You can easily make bats using black cardstock and hang them around your entrance. Many stores sell bat decorations that appear to be flying. Adding one of these to the mix will surely make your bat motif stand out!

 


Another instant creep-factor can be accomplished with the use of mice! Putting them on the steps is sure to keep visitors on their toes as they approach your front door!

 


Going with more of a Halloween witch theme can often set your door steps apart from your neighbor’s. And it can be as simple as adding some rustic brooms and a pair of pointy shoes!

In case creepy Halloween scenes are too much for your taste, you can always try fall decor to make your front door look beautiful. Not only does this give you some Halloween fare, it works well with the transition over to Thanksgiving décor!

 


Using wreaths is a great way to make a door look stand out too. Whether you go with something more twig-like, or something with Autumn foliage, wreaths help your entry door become even more of a focal point!

Try mixing thing up. Combining fall decor with spiders, spider webs, and skeletons makes a nice, well-rounded Halloween porch!

More is not always better. Perhaps try a minimalist approach, using dead trees and fake crows! 

 


Another powerful, yet simple style is to place a couple of pumpkins on the ground, cover your door using a creepy cloth, and finish it off with a witch’s hat as a make-shift wreath. 

 


If you prefer more of a fun and happy type of Halloween scene, try using a smiling pumpkin and placing lots of fresh Autumn flowers all around!

 


If you do things right, decorating your house during Halloween - especially the front door – is sure to give you great satisfaction every time you look at your front door!
