5 Seasonal Deck Decorations That Are Perfect for Halloween

Although you may be sad that the summer grilling season is coming to an end, you shouldn’t stop the fun on your deck just yet. Instead, consider having fun with seasonal deck decorations that suit the upcoming seasons, such as Halloween. If you think summer was fun on the deck, then wait till you see how much fun fall can be on your deck. It’s almost like fall and decks were made for each other. Football, bon fires, cook outs, these are just a few things that are great about fall on your deck. But you know what tops all of these? Halloween parties and decorating. These are a few decorations that are sure to get you and your family in the mood for the spookiest holiday of the year.

1. Colored Lights

One of the easiest yet most effective ways to decorate your deck for Halloween is by adding colored lights. Add lights in solid black, solid orange or a mix of orange, black and purple. Just wrap them around your deck railings for an instant dash of fun. Nothing sets the spooky mood like Halloween themed lights.

2. Hanging Decorations

Look for hanging skeletons, ghosts, witches and more that you can hang off of the side of your railings. You can look for spooky, silly or downright scary, or a mix of all three. You can purchase these decorations from any store that sells Halloween and other holiday décor, or you can use ideas from Pinterest to make your own. This is a great way to really dress up your deck for Halloween and show off your creative side.

3. Costume Pieces

Pieces from your favorite costumes, such as witch’s hats, can look really fun when dangling from the railings of your deck. Just make sure that they are tied down well with twine so that they don’t fly away on a windy day. This is a great way to repurpose old costumes that don’t fit or that you don’t want to wear again.

4. Pumpkins and Gourds

Obviously pumpkins and gourds can be a lot of fun for Halloween. You can place just one or two, or you can arrange several in a cluster. You can also carve your pumpkins into scary or funny faces for a fun activity that will double as a great deck decoration.

5. Seasonal Flowers

Seasonal flowers and plants, such as chrysanthemums in yellow or orange look great on the deck during the fall season and thrive perfectly during this time of the year!
