Neutral Decor
Neutrals are great for modern and boho Halloween decor, they create a light feel in the space and your Halloween decor looks posh yet not spooky at all.

Neutral skulls and skeletons, dried blooms and pampas grass, white ghosts and candles and simple, non-decorated pumpkins are great to create a neutral Halloween space, both indoors and outdoors. You can also save money and time if you already have neutral fall decor around – just add some Halloween touches like skeleton hands, bats or spiders and after Halloween remove them.
