Halloween is one of my favorite holidays (let’s be honest, I love any excuse to decorate), but between the bedazzled pumpkins and the faux spiderwebs it’s easy to go from tasteful to tacky in the blink of an eye. Below, I’ve rounded up over 40 Halloween decorations that lean to the tasteful side. There’s still a little bit of gaudy thrown in because it’s Halloween after all, and we should never take ourselves too seriously. It makes me think of the Diana Vreeland quote that I’ve always loved, “A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. We all need a splash of bad taste—it’s hearty, it’s healthy, it’s physical. I think we could use more of it. No taste is what I’m against.” Flaunt your style this Halloween with some of the not-terribly-tacky items below (some of it’s even chic!).

I wish the UK did Halloween as well as the US (and that I could shop all of these items here – I want that pumpkin casserole dish and cast iron raven so much!), so thank you for letting me live vicariously!
Going to bake a pumpkin pie and light too many candles and watch Hocus Pocus and have my own little party instead.
