Hey there, fellow Halloween enthusiasts! Can you believe it’s that time of year again? I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love decorating for Halloween. There’s something magical about transforming your space into a spooky wonderland. But this year, I wanted to try something different. I’ve always been drawn to the bohemian aesthetic, and I thought, “Why not combine boho with Halloween?” That’s when I stumbled upon the world of boho Halloween decor, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer!
Why Boho Halloween Decor?
Before we dive into the ideas, let’s talk about why boho Halloween decor is so awesome. First off, it’s a refreshing twist on traditional Halloween decorations. Don’t get me wrong, I love the classic orange and black color scheme, but sometimes you want something a little more… sophisticated, you know?
Boho Halloween decor allows you to embrace the spooky season while still maintaining that chic, laid-back vibe that boho is known for. It’s perfect for those of us who want to celebrate Halloween without turning our homes into a full-on haunted house. Plus, many boho Halloween decorations can easily transition into fall decor, giving you more bang for your buck.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of boho Halloween decor ideas. I’ve compiled a list of 22 ideas that I’ve either tried myself or am dying to attempt this year. Trust me, these will make your home look both spooky and stylish!
1. Macramé Pumpkins
Okay, I’ll admit it. When I first heard about macramé pumpkins, I was skeptical. But then I tried making one, and I was hooked! These are super easy to create and add such a unique touch to your Halloween decor.
To make one, you’ll need a foam pumpkin (or a real one if you’re feeling brave), some macramé cord, and a hot glue gun. Simply wrap the cord around the pumpkin in various patterns, securing it with glue as you go. The result is a textured, boho-inspired pumpkin that looks amazing on a mantel or as a table centerpiece.
2. Dried Flower Wreaths
Nothing says boho quite like dried flowers, right? Creating a Halloween-themed dried flower wreath is easier than you might think. I made one last year, and it’s become one of my favorite decorations.
Start with a simple grapevine wreath as your base. Then, add in dried flowers in deep purples, oranges, and browns. Don’t forget to include some spooky elements like mini skulls or black feathers. The contrast between the delicate flowers and the Halloween accents is just chef’s kiss.
3. Tarot Card Wall Art
This one’s for all my fellow mystics out there. Tarot cards make for some seriously cool wall art, and they fit perfectly with the boho Halloween vibe. You can either frame individual cards or create a collage for a more dramatic effect.
I found some oversized tarot cards online and framed them in simple black frames. They look amazing grouped together on a gallery wall. Pro tip: stick to cards with darker, more mysterious imagery for that Halloween feel.
4. Crystal-Adorned Pumpkins
Combining two of my favorite things – crystals and pumpkins – this decoration idea is a winner in my book. I tried this last year, and let me tell you, the compliments were endless!
To create these beauties, start with faux pumpkins in neutral colors like white, cream, or even black. Then, use a strong adhesive to attach various crystals and geodes to the pumpkin’s surface. Amethyst, quartz, and obsidian work particularly well for a Halloween vibe.
5. Bohemian Witch’s Hat
Who says witch hats have to be plain black? Give this Halloween staple a boho makeover by decorating a wide-brimmed hat with dried flowers, feathers, and even some small crystals.
I found an inexpensive black hat at a thrift store and went to town decorating it. The result was a unique piece that doubled as both decor and a costume accessory. It looked fantastic hanging on my wall throughout the Halloween season.
6. Celestial Pumpkin Carving
Forget the traditional jack-o’-lantern faces. This year, try carving celestial designs into your pumpkins for a boho twist. Think moons, stars, and constellations.
I attempted this last Halloween, and while my first try was… let’s say “abstract,” I got better with practice. Use stencils if you’re not confident in your freehand carving skills. The end result is a beautifully ethereal glow that’s perfect for boho Halloween decor.
7. Dreamcatcher Halloween Wreath
Dreamcatchers are a boho staple, so why not incorporate them into your Halloween decor? Create a spooky dreamcatcher wreath using dark-colored yarn, feathers, and some Halloween-themed charms.
I made one using a large embroidery hoop as the base, black and purple yarn for the web, and added little bat and skull charms. It looked amazing hanging on my front door!
8. Boho Skull Planters
This is one of my absolute favorite boho Halloween decor ideas. Take some faux skulls (or real ones if you’re hardcore), paint them in metallic or pastel colors, and use them as planters for succulents or air plants.
I created a whole collection of these for my mantel, ranging from mini skulls with air plants to larger ones housing beautiful succulents. The contrast between the macabre skulls and the living plants is just perfect for boho Halloween vibes.
9. Vintage Potion Bottles
Channel your inner alchemist with this decoration idea. Collect some interesting glass bottles (thrift stores are great for this) and fill them with colored water or sand. Add labels with spooky potion names for an extra touch.
I went all out with this one, creating a whole “potion-making station” on my sideboard. I used bottles of various sizes and shapes, filled them with different colored liquids, and even added some dried herbs and crystals for authenticity.
10. Boho Ouija Board
Now, I’m not saying you should actually use this (unless that’s your thing), but a boho-inspired Ouija board makes for some seriously cool wall art. You can either buy one or make your own using a large wooden board and some paint.
I decided to make my own, using a light-colored wood and painting the letters and symbols in gold. I added some boho touches like moons and stars around the edges. It became the focal point of my Halloween decor, hanging above my fireplace.
11. Feather and Crystal Mobile
This decoration combines several boho elements into one stunning piece. Create a mobile using a wooden hoop, feathers, crystals, and maybe even some small bones or skulls for a Halloween twist.
I hung mine in front of a window, and the way the light caught the crystals and cast shadows from the feathers was absolutely magical. It added movement and interest to my Halloween decor.
12. Moroccan Lanterns with Spooky Candles
Moroccan lanterns are a staple in boho decor, and they work perfectly for Halloween too. Fill them with LED candles (safety first, folks) and place them around your space for a mysterious glow.
I found some amazing deals on Moroccan lanterns online and grouped them together on my coffee table and in corners of the room. The intricate patterns cast beautiful shadows, creating an eerie yet elegant atmosphere.

13. Tassel Garland with a Spooky Twist
Tassel garlands are super popular in boho decor, so why not give them a Halloween makeover? Create a garland using black, purple, and metallic tassels, and intersperse it with mini skulls or bats.
I strung mine across my mantel, and it added such a fun, festive touch to my Halloween decor. The best part? It was super easy to make!
14. Boho Pumpkin Painting
Instead of carving pumpkins, try painting them in boho-inspired patterns. Think mandalas, geometric designs, or even zodiac symbols.
I had a blast with this one, using metallic paints to create intricate designs on white pumpkins. They looked stunning grouped together on my porch and lasted way longer than carved pumpkins.
15. Crystal Ball Display
What’s more mystical than a crystal ball? Create a display using a large clear glass orb (you can find these at craft stores) set on a decorative stand. Surround it with smaller crystals and maybe some tarot cards for added effect.
I set mine up on a side table with some LED tea lights around it. It became quite the conversation starter when friends came over!
16. Boho Halloween Tree
Who says trees are just for Christmas? Create a Halloween tree using a small artificial tree or even a large branch in a vase. Decorate it with boho-inspired ornaments like mini dreamcatchers, crystals, and feathers.
I used a black artificial tree and decorated it with purple and gold ornaments, along with some spooky elements like mini skulls and bats. It became the centerpiece of my Halloween decor.
17. Tapestry Backdrop
A large tapestry can instantly transform a space and create a perfect backdrop for your other Halloween decorations. Look for tapestries with celestial or mystical designs in darker colors.
I found an amazing tapestry with a moon phase design that I hung behind my couch. It really tied all my boho Halloween decor together and made the space feel cozy and mysterious.
18. Boho Inspired Altar
Create a small altar or vignette using elements like candles, crystals, tarot cards, and small pumpkins. This is a great way to group smaller decorations together for maximum impact.
I set up mine on a small table in my entryway, and it really set the tone for the rest of my Halloween decor. Plus, it was fun to change up the elements throughout the season.
19. Rattan Ghost
Give the classic sheet ghost a boho upgrade by creating one out of rattan or wicker. You can either buy one or try your hand at making it yourself if you’re feeling crafty.
I bought a small rattan ghost and hung it from my ceiling. It added such a fun, whimsical touch to my decor and fit perfectly with the boho aesthetic.
20. Dried Flower Pumpkins
Similar to the macramé pumpkins, but using dried flowers instead. Glue an assortment of dried flowers onto a pumpkin (real or faux) for a beautiful, natural look.
I created several of these using different sizes of pumpkins and various types of dried flowers. They looked stunning grouped together on my dining table.
21. Boho Inspired Scarecrow
Give the traditional scarecrow a boho makeover. Dress it in flowy fabrics, add some fringe and tassels, and don’t forget a flower crown!
I set mine up on my porch, and it was such a fun, unexpected take on Halloween decor. Plus, it transitioned perfectly into fall decor after Halloween was over.
22. Crystal and Pumpkin Centerpiece
Create a stunning centerpiece by grouping various sized pumpkins (in neutral colors) with an assortment of crystals and candles.
I used this idea for my dining table, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The mix of natural elements with the mystical crystals perfectly encapsulated the boho Halloween vibe.
