The Inspiration Behind the Vintage Halloween Tablescape

The classic colors associated with the Halloween holiday are orange and black. This table is set with orange and black vintage decor pieces, which we have owned for years or DIYed or might be newer but have a vintage-ish feel. Mixing and matching all these different vintagesque elements allowed for a bigger display.

The funny thing is I haven’t necessarily used much orange in my halloween decor for many years. You would never know it from this table design though, lol. Elements in mass always have a bigger impact, and by bringing all these decor pieces together here makes for a charming and burst at the seams Halloween table.

This project was actually scheduled for last year, but I did not have the bandwidth to get the Halloween tubs down from the attic. I am so glad I was able to get my act together this year to share this charming and nostalgic vintage Halloween table design.

Closing Thought about the Vintage Halloween Table

Vintage Halloween is always fun and festive, evoking whimsical and nostalgic emotions. It’s a great way to go if you don’t get behind the creepy, eerie, spooky stuff. Traditional, old-school Halloween decor tends to be just bright and fun.

Setting a table is a favorite around here, and by adding the layer of seasonally themed, it amps up the fun factor. I am a vintage soul, which made bringing this table together a pleasure. These are all charming pieces not necessarily “scary”, although I do get behind eerie and creepy with some decor, but never gory.

There’s another Halloween tablescape scheduled for the season with a very different vibe, which will be coming your way soon. Plus other seasonal tables as well. Fall is my favorite season and I love all the decor, the foods, the smells…all of it!

Mr. Masterpiece suggested I leave this table up until Halloween, which means he really likes it. I love that! It will stick around awhile, but will have to give way to other projects. Hope this inspires you to use Halloween decor, candy or whatever speaks to you to set a whimsical Halloween table. Boo!
