I've always thought these decorative sculptures were great Halloween decor pieces without looking overly flashy or gaudy. I like Crate and Barrel and its modern and contemporary aesthetics. These house sculptures are the perfect spooky yet stylish décor piece that instantly sets the mood—plus, it’s super versatile for any setup. These iron houses are technically candle holders, so they double as an ambient light source. Whether you put it on your mantel, as a centerpiece, or even in the entryway, it adds that extra eerie vibe without being over the top.

I love MacKenzie-Childs' Halloween collection for a house party because it adds the perfect mix of whimsy and sophistication to the décor. Their playful designs, like the signature black-and-white checks combined with fun, spooky details, bring a unique charm to a party setup. It’s not just about being festive—their pieces are high-quality and can elevate the whole vibe, and you can use them for years. These black and white checkered patterns have been around for so many years, and they're so Halloween. 

There are so many Halloween-themed MacKenzie-Childs accessories, and I'm only sharing a handful, but a strategically placed decor here and there will make the venue photogenic and party-appropriate.

I love these. You'll be able to create a witch-themed snack bar or refreshment center.
