Chic Black + White
Instead of the traditional orange and black, opt for the timeless color combo of black and white this Halloween. Transparent white fabric, black chain garland, two black vases and two metallic candelabras adorn this white mantel. To complete the look, add paper bats and a spooky ghost to the mirror using washable paint or window markers.
Sparkling Spiders
Bring a dose of glam to your mantel with these glittery spiders and faux webs. Adhere the webs to white tulle or cheesecloth then drape over the mantel to get the full effect.

Creepy Black + Red
If you're looking for a creepy, yet chic way to decorate, consider using black and red decor. Start by draping a sheer black cloth over your mantel and fill in with red roses, dripping candles, skulls and red roses. Use apothecary jars with coordinating decor and hang up this "bloody" banner to add the finishing touch.

Cloche Bell Jar
Keep your display simple with pillar candles, moss and cloche bell jars. Antique items, small stone busts and taxidermy are all great options to put underneath the jar.
Bell Jar With Stone Bust for Halloween Decor
Found in craft stores and wholesale floral markets, a cloche or bell jar is a tall glass container available in a variety of shapes and sizes that's used primarily to keep dust off objects. Great choices for Halloween bell jar displays include taxidermy, stone bust bookends, antique dolls and toys, and vintage laboratory or surgical equipment.
The Raven
Add an eerie vibe to the fireplace with painted black branches, black candle holders and a faux raven. Complete the dark look with a sign that reads "Nevermore" as a nod to Edgar Allen Poe's famous poem.
Spooky Banner
Putting together a banner or garland is a great finishing detail that ties together the style of your mantel. All you'll need for this simple project are paper wheels, adhesive, paper letters and ribbon or twine to string together the banner. This idea can be easily personalized to say any Halloween-themed phrase you'd like.
