These Halloween tablescapes will bring a festive touch to your autumn table.
Ghouls and boys—and all your guests—will delight to see these stunning farmhouse style Halloween tablescapes made with fall fun in mind. When it comes to Halloween décor, it seems like anything can go, from classic pumpkin displays that are more rustic in tone to stunningly spook-tacular vignettes hinting at the creepier side of the holiday—think rubber bats and fake spider webs.
Whatever your vibe, you can easily throw in a dash of farmhouse style. Read on for a roundup of 10 farmhouse style Halloween tablescapes to try this spooky season!
Hint of Halloween
Wisps of Halloween don’t necessarily have to be featured in a tablescape directly. Look for ways to allude to the holiday with throw pillows on chairs like this jack-o-lantern pillow in muted tones. Meanwhile, fancy up your tablescape spread with romantic muted green and orange pumpkins for a softness that invites a spirt of Halloween without any of the spookiness.

Some Hocus Pocus
Fall is full of magic. Leaves change color. The air turns refreshingly crisp, and the days transform into hazy autumn evenings. Not to mention fall is the time of pumpkin spice! Heralding in the magic of the season, this tablescape offers notes of whimsy with the mini trees covered in black glitter comprising the centerpiece display. Gorgeous gourds and tall tapered candlesticks in brilliant pumpkin orange harken to the magic of the season as well. Image courtesy of The Design Twins.
Cozy Autumn
For lovers of farmhouse style who want a dash of cozy in their Halloween: look no further! This tablescape has plenty of cozy pieces, like mini crocheted pumpkins on every place setting. White and orange pops of color render a nice neutral quality too that’s perfect for farmhouses full of cozy vibes. Image courtesy of favoredfarmhouse.
Sophisticated Halloween
Who says a Halloween-themed tablescape can’t be elegant? This tablescape alludes to the holiday with classic Halloween color pairings of orange and black, but all the items on this table—from the candlesticks to a throw blanket used as a runner and the numerous vessels—are elegant and elevated. Black dinnerware is juxtaposed with cast-iron serveware, while fall flowers and white anemone raise the level of refinement. Image courtesy of The Busy Bee.
Vintage Holiday
Vintage-inspired pieces abound in this tablescape! The happy jack-o-lantern at the center is made from terra cotta and got a bit of a DIY makeover with chalk paint for a neutral look. Beside the jack-o-lantern, a cutout from a vintage Halloween postcard depicts a cute trick-or-treater who’s all smiles. To make the “spiderwebs,” this DIYer took old cloths and stretched them until holes formed. Caramel apples and other sweets scattered across the table gesture to the best part of the holiday, the candy! Image courtesy of The Yellow Brick Home.
Pretty Pumpkins
Black and orange aren’t the only Halloween hues. Opt for classic color pairings like blue and white for a classic take on a Halloween tablescape. Blue and white toile patterns harken to romantic provincial looks, while the bright orange pretty pumpkins offer a subtle modern infusion. Mix in mini pumpkins beside larger vessels like these blue and white ginger jars filled with faux fall foliage. Image courtesy of bloom_jennybrooks.
Creepy Critters
For a budget Halloween tablescape, this DIYer used brown wrapping paper as a runner, while black gauze comprises the six place settings. Both offer an interesting texture, especially when paired with the smoothness of the glass plates and goblets set upon the table. Homemade paper bats and a few black cat figurines offer some fun spooky notes. The branches from the DIYer’s yard were spray painted black for a “spider leg vibe.” All in all, this tablescape renders a creepy crawly Halloween feel. Image courtesy of Handmade Farmhouse.
Fall Harvest
Looking for a tablescape that can easily transition your Halloween décor into Thanksgiving? Choose one that emphasizes mighty gourds. This farmhouse style Halloween tablescape places large white ghost variety pumpkins along with orange Cinderella pumpkins at the center, offering a natural, fall harvest aesthetic. Here vintage family pieces mix, such as woven basket pieces, colored glass mini plates, wooden candle holders and copper-colored silverware. Image courtesy of decorateswithbourbon.
Stylish Skeletons
For a classic black and white theme, this tablescape leaned into the scares of the holiday with some spooky skeletons. Touches of gold were added in for a chic take on Halloween, with some white and black pumpkins juxtaposed with glittery gold pumpkins. Fake spider webs used as a table runner and sprinklings of small rubber spiders complete the look. Image courtesy of Styled with Lace.
Spooky Spiders
Spiders galore! This Halloween tablescape has some big black (but thankfully rubber) spiders on display. Each setting includes a wood charger that provides depth and a charming, handmade aesthetic to the table. All the centerpiece décor is placed on another wood piece, a wood riser, adding more height to the spooky spider table. Image courtesy of Hallstrom Home.
