25 Chic Halloween Decorations That Don't Look Tacky At All

This is a glossy glass pumpkin in a rich amber and brown tortoiseshell pattern, the same print you see on luxury sunglasses and hair clips. Every one has its own spotting, so yours won't match anyone else's. Set it on a stack of coffee table books and it carries the whole room from Halloween straight through Thanksgiving.

Clear glass with thin black threads looping all over it and a glossy black curled stem on top. It's hand-blown, about 7.5 inches across, so each one comes out a little different. The black and white palette means it works on a minimalist shelf in October and still looks right on a November table.

Translucent plum glass with a twisty curled stem, so it glows a little when light hits it. Purple reads Halloween without screaming it, which is exactly why it works. Each one is handmade, so the shape and size vary slightly. Put it on a windowsill and let the afternoon sun do its thing.

Glazed ceramic in a rainbow finish that flips between green, teal and violet depending on where you stand, with little raised dots all over the surface. At 10 inches, it's big enough to be the centerpiece on its own. It's the pumpkin for anyone whose decor leans more disco than haunted house.

Three ribbed pumpkins stacked on top of each other in smoky glossy glass, finished with a curled stem. The reflective finish catches every lamp and candle around it. It also comes in orange and champagne if you want to build a little cluster in different heights.

Three ceramic ghosts in a pearly iridescent glaze that throws soft rainbow tones when the light changes. They run from about 2.8 to 4 inches tall, so they tuck onto a bookshelf, a nightstand or a bar cart without taking over. Line them up shortest to tallest and they look like a little ghost family.

Each one is a see-through iridescent glass ghost, about 6 by 5 inches, with big eyes on the front. Put a tealight or a short pillar inside and the whole thing lights up with a rainbow sheen. After Halloween, use them as candy jars or to hold rings and hair ties on a vanity.

Two frosted glass ghosts with a confetti speckle pattern and built-in lights, so they glow warm at night. The big one is about 10 inches tall and the small one about 7.5, which makes them a great pair for a mantel or entry table. They take batteries, which aren't included.

Solid K9 crystal with a rainbow finish, about 3 inches tall and surprisingly heavy in the hand. In a sunny spot it scatters little rainbow flecks on the walls. It's the kind of thing that sits on a bookshelf year-round and only gets more interesting in October.

Deep red crystal glass, about 3 inches tall, with the light pooling through it like cherry hard candy. Pair it with the rainbow skull or put it next to a bottle of red wine on the bar cart. It's a tiny thing that makes a shelf look styled.

Twelve foam pumpkins covered in tiny mirror tiles, in orange, gold and silver, from about 2.4 to 6 inches across. Scatter them down a dining table, pile them in a bowl or line them along the stairs. When the sun or a candle hits them, the light spots go everywhere.

Each 14 ounce glass is hand-blown with a raised pink ghost on the side and a pink rim around the top. They have a heavy base so they don't tip at a party. They're cute enough that you'll keep using them for iced coffee long after October.

Clear crystal coupes on a stem wrapped by a silver snake, about 7 inches tall. Pour anything dark red in them and the whole table looks like a moody dinner party. They're the glasses guests will pick up and turn around to look at.

Hand-blown, lead-free crystal shaped into a skull with full detail on every side, sitting on a long elegant stem. Each holds 8 ounces and stands 7.5 inches tall. Pour red wine in one and see what happens to the conversation.

Bold black and white stripes swirl up each coupe, which is the vintage cocktail shape everyone wants right now. They're festive for Halloween, then they go right into holiday parties and New Year's. You get four in a set, and they're hand wash only.

This black wax bat was created by Icelandic designer Thorunn Arnadottir, and as it melts, an aluminum bat skeleton slowly shows up inside. It's unscented, about 6.5 inches tall, with around 20 hours of burn time. It comes in a gift box, so it's also the best hostess gift on this list.

Four white taper candles twisted into wavy shapes, each with a tiny ghost face near the top. They're about 10 inches tall and fit a regular candlestick holder. Put them in black holders down a dining table and you're done decorating for under $10.

Hand-cut orange stained glass shaped into a jack-o'-lantern, so it glows like an old church window when it's on. Because it's handcrafted, the glass shades vary from lamp to lamp. It comes with an LED bulb, so it's ready the second you unbox it.

A puffy orange glass shade on a shiny chrome base, and it's cordless, so it goes anywhere: a bookshelf, a dinner table, a bathroom counter. The rechargeable battery lasts 24 to 72 hours depending on brightness, and you tap the top to switch between three levels. Orange is the Halloween color that still looks good in March.

Lenox is the porcelain brand your grandma saved for holidays, and this pedestal cake plate is from its Haunted Village collection, with a black and white illustrated scene of bats and spooky houses. It's porcelain and dishwasher safe. Put a dark chocolate cake on it and you don't need any other centerpiece.

The shade is a glossy white ceramic ghost that glows when it's on, and it melts the top of your candle from above so you get the scent without lighting a wick. It has a 2, 4 or 8 hour timer and a dimmer. It comes with a spare bulb, which is a nice touch.

Three hand-woven wicker ghosts in pink and white at about 4, 4.7 and 6 inches tall. The woven texture keeps them soft and grown-up instead of plastic and kiddie. Stack them on a tiered tray or tuck them between books on a shelf.

Glossy black ceramic with white spider web lines and a little spider crawling up the side, all painted by hand. It's 9.5 inches wide and holds a full night of trick-or-treat candy. It's microwave and dishwasher safe, so it works for chili or popcorn at a party too.

Designer Heather Goldminc sculpted a green eye with thick black lashes and two little feet, and every vein and lash is painted by hand. It's about 8 inches tall, sized for wrapped candy on trick-or-treat night. This is the piece that makes everyone at the party ask where you got it.

A gray tarantula-shaped pillow in plush faux rabbit fur, 22 by 16 inches, with stitching that shapes all eight legs. It's festive enough for October but neutral enough to stay on the couch all fall. It also comes in black and white, and it's machine washable on gentle.
