It's almost that time of year again when the weather starts getting colder and autumn is in full swing. And that means Halloween is just around the corner.

If you're planning a festive celebration this October, then you'll want to go all out to jazz up your dining area with some stylish Halloween table decor, perfect for spooky feasts.

Here are eight easy Halloween table decor ideas to inspire you, and help give your home an autumnal vibe that's bound to wow guests...

Halloween table decor ideas - Autumnal place settings

We love these orange napkins with twine and leaves.

Pair simple white plates with an autumnal colour, such as an orange or red, and some mini pumpkins or gourds for the perfect, minimal, table setting. A ribbon also adds an extra touch!

Halloween table decor ideas - Extra foliage

One of the best things about the autumn weather is the changing colour of the leaves.

Adding some greenery to your table will recreate this look indoors. Extra foliage brings your table decorations up a notch and you'll soon be wowing your guests with the effort you've put into your Halloween celebration.

Halloween table decor ideas - Pumpkin centrepieces

This is a simple way to add a Halloween vibe to your table and you don't need to go all out to achieve this look. Mini pumpkins or even gourds will create the theme you're going for and you can even decorate them, or make tiny lanterns for decorative centrepieces.

Remember, though, if you use gourds, that these aren't edible! Lots of mini pumpkins also create that Halloween atmosphere without much effort.

Serving your starters in mini cauldrons like this creates an attention to detail look that will impress your guests. We love the red cauldrons for that pop of colour but black also works well. If your celebration is more of a buffet style, why not make some dips served up in tiny cauldrons to add to your table?

Candles are a big part of Halloween and useful for creating that spooky glow you'll want for your table. Create your own decorations by adding battery operated candles to mini pumpkins, like in the above example, or add tealights to jars and dot them around your table.

Halloween table decor ideas - Themed snacks

If you're looking for extra nibbles for your guests, a batch of Halloween biscuits in the shape of ghosts, pumpkins and cobwebs will do the trick.

Halloween table decor ideas - Find a theme

Whatever theme you decide on, whether all-out Halloween, black and orange like the above, or an autumnal theme, the colours you choose will determine the vibe of your table. Blacks and oranges are the obvious choices but substituting these for reds and browns for a subtle, more autumnal look, will still create a decorative atmosphere.

Alternatively, you could also use purples and silvers if you want more of a graveyard feel.
