Whether you are designing a small space or want to give the whole office a spooky makeover, there are some simple Halloween decorations which can provide a creative flair and is sure to help stage the Halloween mood.

Get Giant Yarn Spider Web

If you believe that the conventional cotton spider webs are disorganized or possibly a bit uninteresting for the office, then you can plan to make a giant yarn spider web in its place. All that you require is some a pair of scissors, tape, and yarn. You can select a yarn shade that seems suitable for Halloween, for instance, purple, black, and orange or gray. Make a cross with two threads of the same length and fix them to the wall with tape. Then tape a perpendicular strand from the floor to the ceiling that interconnects with the center of the cross. Make a few more interconnecting strands, so the form looks like the skeleton of a spider web. At last, make the webrings. It is not important to be accurate you can only take a large strand of yarn and tie loops attaching to the interweaved lines to make the rest of the web shape.

Use pot plants to create spooky Halloween decor

In order to make the Halloween décor within the office space look unique, you can think of adding the artificial plants and trees. You can place the artificial cactus plant on a pot and keep it in the corner of the office space. Color the pot in dark shades such as black or brown. You can also add some spooky accessories on the pot to give it a perfect scary look. You can also take your traditional outdoor pumpkin decorations to the next level by adding weird plants as creepy table décor such as fake hydrangeas. Apart from this, you can decorate the office space using artificial grass plants and then decorate the pot using googly eyes, skeletons, gauze, and creepy cloth. In case you are looking for scary plants for your office decor, you can choose faux trees and plants like flowers that eat insects.

Glass Jar Lights

Used glass jars can be used to make Halloween glass container lights. You need paint, a marker pen and tiny battery powered lights. You can paint them in white and draw a ghost face or paint them orange and make lantern faces. Once the jars are adorned, just switch on and insert the LED lights, and lock the jar lid for a bright, cheerful lamp for the office. You can also make paper lanterns using some black metallic paper, a pencil, white vellum and scissors and a battery operated tealight candle. This will create a spooky, yet attractive Halloween decoration for your desk at the office.

Eerie Floating Heads

For this eerie Halloween craft, you will require a printed picture of an individual’s head on an all-white background. You can think of using your photo or one of your colleagues. You will also need a green food coloring and sealing glass jar. Print the photo on glossy photo paper, and make sure it is the right size, so it fits within the jar. Put the photo into the jar, so it is at the back of the jar. Fill the pot with water and just a few drops of green food coloring. You can also add bits of craft moss or thread to create a scary texture.

Decorate the entrance of the office

In order to give a creepy look to the office entrance, you can choose colors like orange and black, green and black or red and black. You can fix balloons as well as streamers in these colors on the doorway and scatter balloons around the office. Both balloons and streamers are reasonable options that you can use to change the scene. In addition, you can also place some dim lights to give a scarier look to the place. Look for black and flickering light bulbs to make your office look a little spookier.

Hang bats, ghosts, witches and eerie paintings

In order to set the tone of the place correctly add a few hanging decorations. You can get bats, ghosts, witches and weird paintings from the online shopping portals or you can also make them on your own to give the space an eerie look and feel.

Use Balloon pumpkins

Are you in search for a Halloween embellishment that everyone in your office can take pleasure in? You can quickly fill orange colored balloons with Halloween candy and blow up the balloons. The candy enables the pumpkin balloons to stand on top of an office desk or table and not roll away. You can blow up and tie the balloon, and with a black marker pen draw on a jack-o-lantern face. Make your balloon pumpkin attractive or spooky depending on your preference.

Decorate the table in the cafeteria

Remember that Halloween is not just about scary costumes and decorations but about delicious, sweet treats too so it would be nice to set up a table in the office cafeteria with candy and other things for everyone to take pleasure in. You can hang a sign and add some themed balloons as well. You can encourage staff members to adorn the cafeteria or their cubicle with a few cool images or pictures from last year Halloween events. However, make sure that the decorations that are chosen are fun and appropriate for the office space.

Conclusion

When it comes to Halloween office decorations, it is important that you know the corporate culture and stays celebratory devoid of going over the line. By planning carefully, you can include everyone without offending any one person.
