We are so close to my favorite time of the year, Halloween. While others may be anticipating the arrival of Christmas tree season, and the magical lights and joy of Christmas, I am eagerly awaiting the spookiest time of the year and could not wait to create this Spooky Manor Halloween tablescape. There is just something fun and whimsical about Halloween. Last year, I didn’t get to do as much decorating as I’ve wanted to do in the past, and only did a family costume once, but this year I am committed. I’ve always wanted to do a Halloween party and I’ve officially sent out Save the dates to friends and family. This means I have a little over 4 weeks to get my house in full spooky manor mode, starting with my spooky manor Halloween Tablescape.


The theme of my party is a Haunted Manor and we all know with any spooky manor, a a spooky manor tables cape setup with burning candles will always set the scene. Furthermore, a skeleton will always be in attendance.

I feel like having the candles over burned on a Spooky manor tables cape always adds to the mood and makes it feel deserted and almost “haunted” in a sense.


The black textured candles came from Homegoods, while the larger ghost and bat candle came from Ikea. I. love them so much!

These cute little spider napkin rings were a DIY and so easy to make. I think they add the perfect amount of playful to the table without being childish.


Most of the items used to create this tables cape were from Dollar Tree and Homegoods. Whenever I create a tablescape, if I have to buy anything new, I like to keep it budget friendly. The white plates and bowls are from Ikea, while the orange plates are from Goodwill. The black placemats are from Homegoods.The smokey wine glasses were actually found at Dollar Tree. I think it all came together to look amazing!
This is the first room that I’ve completed for Halloween decor, so stay tuned for a few DIY projects and other rooms decorated, all leading up to my Halloween Party!
Let me know what you think! Until next time!
