Halloween Decorating Ideas For Fixer Upper Fans

Updated on Oct 28, 2016 at 2:45 PM

If you think of Joanna Gaines as your decorating soul sister, there's no reason her vintage farmhouse vibe can't inspire your Halloween decorating too. The look is surprisingly easy to pull off and can be done using pieces you most likely already have. With a little DIY elbow grease and some Magnolia Market sourcing, your flea-market-meets-haunted farmhouse will look as flawless as a Fixer Upper reveal. Here's what you'll need.

Vintage Treasures

Whether it's a vintage scale, glass cloche, or silver tray, flea market finds are the perfect prop to pair with Halloween staples like a mini pumpkin. We have our eye on this metal kitchen scale from Magnolia Market.

Lace

Incorporate the old-time beauty of antique lace into your pumpkin decorating by using craft paint, lace, and glue to pull off this elegant riff on a carve-free pumpkin. We have a feeling Joanna would approve!

White Dishes

If your kitchen is stocked with white dishware like Chip and Joanna's farmhouse, deck it out by hanging a simple garland and adding a handful of black crows.

Succulents

Joanna's greenhouse is a plant-lover's dream and the perfect place to source succulent clippings for these DIY succulent pumpkins.

Candles

No Fixer Upper reveal would be complete without candles, which is why we're sure you have some on hand. Collect candles from around the house and place them on a metal tray for a spooky but stylish centerpiece.

Distressed Sign

Distressed signs are as common as shiplap when it comes to Fixer Upper staples. Make your own by following this DIY vintage sign tutorial.

Mason Jars

If you're like Joanna, you can find countless ways to repurpose a mason jar, but we're sure this

DIY Halloween terrarium will become your new favorite.

Old Books

Joanna relies on old hard-back books to add soul, height, and texture to her vignettes. Try using a stack of them to display a beautiful but eerie accent.

White Wooden Frames

White wooden frames lend a clean farmhouse feel to any piece of artwork. Download this free Halloween printable to re-create the look.

Chalkboard

Joanna Gaines uses chalkboard as art in many of her renovations. Write a Halloween greeting on framed chalkboard and display it in your entryway.

Ladder

You've seen barn-style ladders holding towels and blankets, but this Fixer Upper go-to works just as well for displaying a DIY Halloween "Boo" banner.

Green Wreath

What could be more Fixer Upper than a Magnolia wreath? Style it with mini pumpkins and wheat collected in a vase for a harvest-inspired vignette.

Kraft Paper

Joanna gets creative with using kraft paper in the kitchen, but we think this idea for wrapping cookbooks in brown paper is equally clever.

Pretty Flowers

Flowers often serve as the finishing touch in Joanna's Fixer Upper reveals, so why not include them in your pumpkin decorating? This DIY pumpkin vase is surprisingly easy to make!
