If you're planning on hosting for Halloween, then a beautifully decorated Halloween table in your kitchen is a must. 

This table has been adorned with inviting fall flowers and foliage, woven decorative pumpkins, candles, and more. Whether you want your table – or even your kitchen island, to feel more cozy or spooky, uplifting the area with Halloween decorations will only make the space feel more fun, festive, and special for Halloween. 

You can also be clever with your chosen table design and embrace enduring seasonal decor that can be used for fall table decor and Thanksgiving table decor; from decorating with pumpkins to using vases of foliage and flowers.

Or if you prefer, you can switch up your table's design for each occasion – whatever works best for your style and space. Shop some of our favorite Halloween table picks below; some of which are perfect for use during Halloween and beyond.

From more simple, sophisticated and enduring dinnerware designs, such as our below picks from CB2's more modern collection of Halloween decor, to more colorful, fun picks, that can be used and enjoyed each year, as shown with our Anthropologie best buys, a selection of new dinnerware pieces will only make each meal and dining experience more in sync with the season.

Transform ordinary, everyday kitchen items into something extraordinary for Halloween. From dish towels to pot holders and cookware, a few new seasonal designs that are both practical and stylish can make all the difference to the feel of your kitchen space. 

We're big fans of Le Creuset's fall cookware range, and think the colorful cookware designs can bring beautiful character to your kitchen for fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and beyond – whilst providing you with some of the best cast iron cookware on the market.

A quick and easy way to make your kitchen feel more cozy and inviting for the season is through styling the space with plenty of warming candles. 

Perfect for placing on countertops, tables and windowsills, the best candles can of course be used throughout the year to bring in an inviting glow and scent into your kitchen, but during the dark days of fall, winter and especially Halloween – the more candles, the better! 

If you've got plenty of tealights and tapered candles already, why not invest in a beautiful new candleholder; perfect for acting as a centerpiece on your Halloween table, too.

Hang garlands and wreaths

The beauty of the best Halloween wreaths and fall wreath ideas is that they can be hung pretty much anywhere in the home.

From fun, spooky designs, to more rustic, natural wreaths filled with inviting foliage and flowers, there are so many unique options choose from; no matter your Halloween scheme.
