Now let’s dive indoors and see how to create a haunted house atmosphere inside.

Console And Mantel Decor

One of the first things your guests see inside is a console table that can be placed in the entryway or living room. Make it haunted house-like! Use black branches, attach some bats or butterflies to the wall and to the branches, make cloches with skeleton hands and skulls, add spiderweb and bugs. A bit of pumpkins and some blackbirds can be also a nice idea. If it’s a more vintage console, stick to more decor that will catch an eye and make your visitors obeserve it for some time, and if it’s a modern console, be laconic and moody changing black branches to moody ones with leaves.
