As the air is turning cooler and the nights are getting longer, that can only mean one thing – Halloween is quickly approaching. For lovers of the holiday, they know that the right decorations are all it takes to get into the right spooky spirit. But as the first holiday of the fall season, you can’t simply coat your house in black and orange and think that is enough.

Trying to Build a Haunted House? These 25 Ideas Will Help You Get There

In some neighborhoods, Halloween means going all out. From carving pumpkins to creating a full-blown haunted house in your front yard, Halloween is potentially one of the most celebrated holidays across the country. As trick-or-treaters go from house to house collecting candy, they also get to experience the look and feel of different decorations up close and personal.

But Halloween decorations don’t need to be dark, dreary and drab. Even if you’re not looking to scare the neighborhood children, you can still get in the Halloween mood. If you’re looking for some decorations that will make your home unique, check out these Etsy Halloween ideas.

1. Happy Halloween Wooden Pumpkins

Each pumpkin is tied off with a handful of straw, giving them a straight-from-the-pumpkin-patch feel.
