I know you probably don't have a lot going on in your apartment balcony on Halloweens. But you should definitely NOT be underestimating all the decor opportunities this little space has to offer!
And it's not a coincidence that you're here! Because as someone who loves to decorate for Halloween & go all out each year, I'm showing you my top 17 spooky Halloween decorations for apartment balcony that you'll love!
THE BEST HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS FOR APARTMENT BALCONY
01. Put a cute wooden sign somewhere
Whether on your door or on a windowsill, a cute Halloween-themed wooden sign is sure to bring in those spooky spirits!
There are tons of nice options on both Amazon & Etsy, so take a look around their websites. But you can't go wrong with a "Booo" or "Happy Halloween", or even a "The Witch is Here!" sign, that's for sure!
02. Not for the scaredy cats!
Even though I LOVE Halloween, I definitely wouldn't get a life-sized witch. But if you're into ALL that scary stuff & don't mind going the extra mile to make sure that every passersby admires your balcony, go & get a full-size witch statue/decoration!
Of course, not only witches will be a good choice! Pumpkins, monsters & skeletons will also make people look!
03. DIY hanging witch hats are always a good idea!
One of the best Halloween decorations for apartment balcony are undoubtedly hanging witch hats!
They are a super fun & inexpensive way to decorate your balcony for Halloween. But they DO have that wow factor!
People will be left in awe looking at those cute hats seemingly levitating & flying around! The easiest way to disguise the fact that they've been hung up is to use fishing line or clear threads!
04. Don't forget to switch out your regular rug!
Even though switching out a rug might not seem like a huge transformation at first, it really CAN be the key to your success this year!
Whether it's a rug with a skull on it, a bunch of pumpkins, a bat or ghosts, they'll all help boost the festive spirits in a renter-friendly way! Even checkered rugs could be a nice choice!
05. Put giant spiders on the walls
Lifelike giant spiders are not for the weak either! But putting them onto the exterior walls of your apartment will definitely make your balcony feel like it's straight out of a horror movie!
What I love about them is that they have such bendable legs! This makes it SUPER easy to stage them perfectly & make it seem like they're actually moving!
06. Provide a seat for a friendly skeleton
Make a spooky composition of monsters, spiders & witches look a little less frightening by making a friendly skeleton have a seat!
Trust me, you'll want to infuse your Halloween decor with a little playfulness! So I highly recommend that you get a skeleton & make it wave while sitting on a chair or swinging chair! It's really one of the best Halloween decorations for apartment balcony, so don't leave it out!
07. Decorate with pillows
Don't underestimate the power of pillows! A nice set of festive checkered & Halloween themed throw pillows with nice fall colors will draw the eyes in easily!
And that's exactly what you want! So go ahead & buy a new festive set for your balcony sofa or armchair ASAP!
08. More wooden signs!
Personally, I think that wooden signs are one of the most expressive, therefore one of the cutest Halloween decorations for apartment balcony!
Scattering a few different designs is definitely not a crime in my opinion! In fact, the more you have sitting tastefully on your windowsills or propped against the walls, the better!
09. Pumpkins are not scary, but they're a must-have!
Pumpkins can absolutely NOT miss from your Halloween balcony decor this year! Of course, they're more fall-themed than Halloween-themed, but they sure help pull together a scary composition!
They're super versatile, so make sure you include a few different sizes, colors & shapes into your design!
10. Faux spiders web: it changes the whole mood!
If there's one thing that'll instantly change the whole vibe of your little Halloween balcony decor, it's most likely faux spiders web!
Just throw a pack from Amazon onto the door, on your windows, other decorations & of course, the balcony rails as well! It's such a subtle, yet impressive change!
11. Fake a haunted meadow scene
One of the most creative Halloween decorations for apartment balcony EVER (at least in my opinion) is a fake haunted meadow scene!
Everyone has seen at least one horror movie that plays in a meadow, so I'm pretty sure you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. But here's a little help if you don't: just get some straw or hay bale from Amazon, put that cube in an empty corner. Accessorize it with cute little pumpkins & a scarecrow!
Ta-da, there you have your own horror movie scene!
12. Put up a spooky painting
The key to your success is always in the details! So this year, make sure you get a spooky painting for your apartment balcony to really evoke that Halloween feeling!
Bats, witches, even cat paintings could make your balcony decor look more festive & put-together!
13. Another spooky composition you'll love
If you wanna take your Halloween balcony decor to the next level this year, definitely consider setting up an after-harvest scene!
Take a look at the photo for inspiration! With some straws & crows placed on a wooden decorative wagon, you can really make it seem like you're a real pro at Halloween! And you don't even have to spend much for it!
14. Use bats & faux spiders web as wall decor
Transform your boring balcony into a real spooky place with something as simple as a set of 3D Halloween wall decor bats & some faux spiders web!
It's best if you create this little composition on a mirror! You'll have "double the decor", which just means that you'll perceive your composition to be far more intricate! Which is exactly what you want!
15. It's a witchy place!
Incorporating some fun elements into your Halloween balcony decor is a super idea! And if you want affordable fun, definitely consider getting upside down witch legs!
What I love about them -apart from how cheap they are- is that you don't need to buy extra things to make them work! Just stick them into your favourite pot & there you have a full value Halloween decoration for your apartment balcony!
16. Don't forget to add some banners!
If you ask me, banners can NOT miss from your festive decor! Especially not from your Halloween balcony decor!
So get a cute "Boo" or "Happy Halloween" banner to put on your balcony rails! It's such an effective, but super cheap way to accentuate the fun side of Halloween, rather than the scary one!
17. Or keep it super simple!
I get it, not all of us want to go all out on Halloween. It's a lot of money for stuff you KNOW you won't be using any other time, not even next year, cause how embarrassing is it to have the same Halloween balcony decor as last year?
If this is you, I'm here to tell you that Halloween shouldn't be about spending a ton of money on ugly, scary decorations you don't even like! Don't follow the trends & be a little more laid back: decorate with cute pumpkins, chunky knit blankets, vintage throw pillows in fall colors.
The results will be just as festive, yet 10 times more elegant!
