These are the best places to buy Halloween decor – 5 spookily chic collections worth shouting about

As fall settles in, it's clear that the spooky season is in full swing. With nearly every homeware store and website brimming with Halloween decorations, it can be difficult to know where to begin your search for the best, most stylish buys.

This season, I've been tasked with trawling the internet for Halloween decorating ideas, and in doing so, I've spent hours reviewing the best retailers to shop for the very best Halloween decor.

So whether you’re shopping for scream-worthy statement pieces or stylish seasonal accents, these are the best stores to shop all things Halloween.

1. McGee & Co.

McGee & Co. is known for its sophisticated modern rustic styles, so it’s no surprise that it's embracing elevated Halloween. No garish orange pumpkins here: these seasonal pieces come in neutral tones which will blend seamlessly with most interior designs. This Halloween collection could be displayed year-round.

McGee & Co. effortlessly balances trendy designs – such as the gold metal bats garland, with hints of dark academia – this crow double taper holder is a festive spin on a classic design. Although some of the range is currently sold out (this one sells fast year on year), there’s still plenty to pick from, and it’s well worth checking in for restocks.

2. Anthropologie

Anthropologie is offering over a hundred Halloween products, ranging from big, bold centerpieces to subtly seasonal accents. User-friendly filters will help you to sort by product type, price, and color, and you can even locate Anthropologie outlets near you with free pickup. If you like what you see, you can shop Anthropologie’s whole Halloween collection through their page. Tight on time? We’ve picked the best of Anthropologie’s Halloween collection from the range.

3. Target

With over 2,000 items listed under ‘indoor Halloween decorations’, Target’s indoor Halloween collection offers the widest range of any of our retailers. Luckily, there are plenty of specific search filters to help you sift. Target splits its 2,000 items into six categories, including wreaths and garlands, wall decor, decorative objects, throw pillows and blankets, pumpkins, and kitchen and dining. Target is known for its affordable and accessible decor, and this year’s offerings are no exception. Our three favorites, below, look good for less. If you want to see more, but don’t know where to start, we’ve already found our favorites from Target’s Halloween decor.

4. Pottery Barn

We're big fans of Pottery Barn, because they bring stylish, good quality furniture and decor at mid-range prices. It's no surprise that there's a lot to love in the Pottery Barn Halloween collection. There are some really cute soft furnishings, as well as outdoor decor that will make for the perfect Halloween porch when the neighborhood comes trick-or-treating.

5. Crate & Barrel

Crate & Barrel’s selection is on the smaller side, but the range is huge: there are decorative dish towels, cozy throws, and seasonal kitchenware, all crafted from natural organic materials. Crate & Barrel’s selection proves that you can elevate Halloween with monochrome minimalism.

These elevated collections prove that shopping Halloween isn’t all about ghouls and ghosts. Plenty of our Halloween picks are perfect for fall more generally, and could even be used year-round, such as Magnolia's garlands.

Let these ideas inspire some Halloween craft ideas to recreate some of our favorite retailers' designs. If you have magnolia blooms in your yard, why not try your hand at making a Halloween wreath?
