With Halloween only four days away, it’s time to get your screened porch ready for trick-or-treaters and family guests alike! Whether you’re going for a scary set-up that makes people frightened, or a gentler layout that merely features some pumpkins and gourds, we’ve got something for everyone in this seasonally-charged blog. We explored Pinterest to find the latest and greatest decorating ideas and we hope that some of our recommendations will help you achieve your ghouls this Halloween season.

All Things Pumpkins

If you’re looking to stay towards the gentler decorating that focuses on the season rather than the holiday, this is a great reference point for your screened porch and/or traditional porch alike. By featuring many colors of pumpkins and gourds in the entryway, this space feels warm, inviting, and ready to drift straight from Halloween into Thanksgiving. The secondary additions of mums and cornstalks further add to the overwhelmingly positive atmosphere that this porch works so hard to create.

Fright Night

Some people like their screened porches and traditional porches to be a little scarier for trick-or-treaters and guests, alike. This is a great reference point for individuals that want some fright, as it plays with eerily-carved pumpkins and differing bat lights and lanterns to create suspense. By using their dark bench and column stands, they also create dimension and add to the overall spooky feel that this design can develop.

Tricks & Treats

Creating a more balanced spooky screened porch or traditional porch can be as simple as the right combination of Halloween decorations and seasonal additions. This is a great reference for individuals that want some haunted aspects to their porch without scaring trick-or-treaters and/or family guests away. While the bats, skeleton, and crows are frightening, the pumpkins and decorative pillows in combination with all of the light sources make this a great porch to emulate.
