When we think about decorating for a holiday or season, what comes to our minds first? A wreath, mantel decor, console table styling and sometimes a tree. Sometimes we decorate coffee tables or shelves and neglect all the rest, while there’s a great space, which is ideal to create an atmosphere without stealing any floor or shelf space: ceiling. We usually forget about ceilings and we can decorate anything else around, literally every inch but not them. I decided to fix that and offer you some lovely Halloween ceiling decorations, take a look!
Indoor Halloween Ceiling Decor
Before choosing proper ceiling decor, consider your space: its color scheme, style and the style of your Halloween party.
Ceiling Attached Decor
If you don’t have much time or don’t wanna invent something hard, take some black paper butterflies and bats and attach them to the ceiling, and voila! This is the easiest idea ever, and it works for more space styles and party themes. For a stronger effect, start from the walls going up to the ceiling. One more idea is adding cheesecloth or more realistic spiderweb with some colorful lights, they are going to create an ambience in the space. Feeling creative and wanna scare your guests? Get some large roaches and attach them climbing to the ceiling from the walls or buy a giant wicker spider and attach to the ceiling, sorry, dear arachnophobes! Such crafts are very easy and can be realized in some minutes.

Ceiling Suspended Decor
The most popular idea is hanging witches’ hats down the ceiling, this is an easy solution for a party with no particular theme, with witch theme, Harry Potter and farmhouse or rustic decor style. Just get or make some large black hats (you can embellish or decorate them somehow) and hang them where you need. Another solution is very Harry Potter-inspired: floating candles just like in Hogwarts, there are some you can buy and attach using the instruction to them. If you wanna a more magic feel, create an installation over the fireplace hanging letters and placing some inside the fireplace. You can also hang a disco skull for a party feel in the room.
