Skull vase

Skull art

In keeping with the skull theme, which also happens to be one of this fall’s hottest decor trends, we were instantly intrigued by these framed canvas prints featuring a Day of the Dead-inspired skull. These, too, can easily be incorporated into everyday decor, and also make a great accessory for Halloween. Skull art canvas framed print, Pottery Barn, $210.

Glittered pumpkins

Nothing says “Halloween” like pumpkins but this year, forgo traditional orange orbs for something with a little more sparkle. We love the idea of dotting a few of these glitter-covered pumpkins all around the house, or grouping several on a coffee or end table. Glittered pumpkins, Pier 1 Imports, $7.
