Happy Halloween Shopping

As I am working on Halloween decor inspiration boards, I came across so many budget-friendly candle finds at IKEA that I thought they deserved their own post. Each is cheap enough to buy in multiples, and, when clustered together, can create a spooky, modern, haunted, or vampy-glam vibe. Plus, they're not so holiday-specific that they can't be recycled, repainted, or repurposed for everyday decor...

Clockwise from top left:

1. VAGHULT Pillar Candle, $2.99 / 8 pack: Basic pillar candles in every color at a ridiculously low price.
2. DAMAST Lantern for Tealight, $12.99: Hang these sconces down a hallway for haunted-house appeal.
3. SKIMMER Candlestick, $9.99 Cluster varying heights on a table with black pillar candles for a gothic-inspired centerpiece.
4. BJORKEFALL Candlestick, $5.99: Add dripping colored pillar candles and displayed throughout the house, this candlestick feels so Haunted-Mansion!
5. BORRBY Lantern, $14.99: Create a dim and spooky entrance by lining a staircase with these tealight lanterns in purple and black.

Modern Autumn Table Decor Inspiration

For a modern take on fall table decor, replace leaves and pumpkins with other outdoor elements, like tree bark, pinecones, and kitschy-cool animals. Update the usual warm shades of red and orange with lighter, brighter hues such as terracotta, burnt orange, and light sage green. The overall effect still feels warm, cozy, and natural, but the woodsy elements and adding white to the palette makes this setting feel totally different from traditional tables.
