Halloween Porch Decorating Ideas

Halloween porch decorating ideas are some of my favorite kind – they show your neighbors (and everyone that passes by) that you have a little fun with the spookiest holiday of them all. So I’m sharing some of the best (and easiest) Halloween porch decorating ideas around from friendly to frightening so you can get your spook on.

Let’s start with my own porch! My girls love Halloween and decorating for it is always so much fun!

Honestly I let the kids do most of the decorating. I let them carve the pumpkins and choose the goods to put up.

My only request was hanging bats from the rafters, which we hung with clear hooks & fishing line. You can’t see the hooks or the string, so it actually looks like they are flying around. Some spiderwebs made it look even spookier.

    Those command strips are magic! Since my husband and I moved around so much before settling into our current home, we always used the strips that were like velcro to hang up any pictures. They work amazing, too!

    And, by the way, I’m amazingly jealous of your porch =)

    Looks good! How did you do your pumpkins? Did you use a kit, or carve those things freehand?

    We don’t have a porch, really, but we do have a stoop. 🙂 We just moved here last year and I haven’t gotten in to decorating that stoop, but maybe I’ll use some Command hooks and try with some fake cobwebs and bats. I like it!

    How did you make the eyes and how did you hang them? Are they on the inside of the window or the outside of the window? Looks so cute!

      I found them at Target in the dollar spot. They have an adhesive backing and are hung on the outside of the window.

      I’ve not had that problem Carolyn, if you have a lot of wind it would be very tricky!
