Code orange, I repeat, code orange. This TikTok hashtag has brought to our attention that Halloween and fall decor has started to appear in stores. In fact, some TikTokers were reporting pumpkin and ghost sightings as early as the first week of July. While you certainly shouldn’t wish away these last sunny days of summer, it’s never too early to look ahead to the next season. And now that the hashtag has had time to make its rounds on the social media app, we’ve had time to decipher what decor is quickly becoming the most talked about, or in other words, going #viral.
With all the buzz around these sought after items, be warned that if you don’t start shopping now you could very well miss out on the most popular indoor and outdoor decor for this year’s spooky season. Keep reading to find out what Halloween decorations are trending and where exactly to get your hands on it.
Trending Now on TikTok
Throw pillows can be a functional decor choice while also making a style statement and plush pillows are here in a big way this season. From pumpkins to ghost families, to snoopy wearing a witch hat, there’s something for everyone. The highly sought after large couch sitting skeleton pillows are already virtually impossible to find with the exception of Mr. Bones at Pottery Barn.
Ghosts of any kind are also taking over homes this fall with statues of all sizes leading the trend. Mugs, canisters, glowing draped ghosts and of course, pillows are all must haves. Use them to create a spooky yet spirited theme inside or out.
And finally, some of last year’s trends are on repeat for 2024. Giant lawn ghouls, posable skeleton decorations and animatronics are back and bigger than ever. Also returning this year (and currently being found in additional pastel colors) are the viral pink ghost blankets.
Where to Shop for Halloween Decor to Nail TikTok Trends
Many popular retailers are known for introducing new Halloween collections every year to satisfy Halloween lovers the world over. It seems TikTokers are all flocking to their local T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods locations to feed their Halloween decor addictions but those stores have little to no online presence and can be hit or miss when shopping for something specific. So go on a ghost hunt with us to a few other places where you might have better luck finding the fun yet frightful items you should be grabbing to absolutely slay the current TikTok trends.
