Halloween decor doesn’t have to be overwhelmingly black and orange. If you have a neutral living room and want to keep that aesthetic for Halloween, you should.

4. Simple Halloween welcome sign for the door

Welcome signs are always cute, and it’s so nice to change them up depending on the season.

This neutral welcome sign for your front door hits all the right spots.

Pampas grass will forever be one of my favorite budget-friendly decor items. It’s lush, with a slightly warm gold tone, and has a fall feeling.

I love the farmhouse Halloween decor situation in the living room picture below!
