Halloween is a holiday that came from Britain. On Halloween night (according to the belief of the ancient Celts) the worlds of the living opened their doors and the inhabitants of the dead world made their way to earth. Despite the ancient serious meaning, now Halloween has turned into an interesting fun holiday with a bright theme.

The main attributes of Halloween are:

• Pumpkins (small or large, painted or not)
• Artificial web and many spiders of different sizes
• Skulls
• Candles and candlesticks
• Autumn leaves and dry branches
• Brooms

You can also use themed balloons, bat confetti, and Halloween printable disposable tableware. Depending on your position and office interior, you can choose different combinations of decor. In this article, we gathered eight scary tips on how to decorate your office for Halloween.

1. Silhouette outside the window.

Decorating windows and office wall dividers is one of the most challenging tasks when designing decorations. How to decorate a window for Halloween? An excellent solution would be a silhouette of a man with empty eyes made of dark paper. The first to be scared are employees who pull back the curtains in the morning. Even after that, the gloomy silhouette will be indispensable for maintaining the holiday spirit.

2. Balloons

No holiday can be complete without balloons. You can choose bright orange balloons and draw faces with a black marker (like on traditional pumpkins). For a better effect, place a bright green lamp behind the balloons.

3. The contours of the body on the floor

Another unusual decoration will be the outlines of a dead person on the floor. Imagine yourself a detective and convince one employee to portray a corpse, give it an unnatural pose, and circle it with chalk or white sticky paper. Don't you think that's scary enough? Draw the outline of the leg or arm at a significant distance from the outline of the body.

4. A garland of paper ghosts

The simplest, but the best decorative element at the same time will be a garland of paper ghosts. Take a square sheet, place a crumpled piece of paper in the middle, and tie it with string. You will get a little ghost. Draw the eyes and hang them on a thread with the rest.

5. Costumes

What's Halloween without costumes? If the office dress code allows you to dress up, why not?

You can collect a suit from the most unusual items in your wardrobe or simply rent an interesting suit. 

However, if your company requires a dress code, you may stick to the right color scheme and a few themed accessories. This will be enough for an office format. Give preference to black, red, orange, and white colors. You can also use various decorations like masks, caps, hoop with a spider, a ring with a skull, skeleton gloves, and brooms.

6. Webs and garlands

Make a web of gauze or buy a ready-made one and hang it in the office on windows, doors, wardrobes, corner of chairs, monitors, refrigerator, chandeliers, and even in the restroom. For reliability, you can attach the web with the help of double-sided tape. Decorated spiders, bats, and insects on the spider webs will also add a touch of ambiance.

7. Pumpkins

Carve out eyes and sinister smiles on the pumpkins (a face) and insert candles inside. Be careful and maintain safety with flame. If you don't have time to carve faces, just place pumpkins of different sizes and colors around the office. Moreover, it will be fun if you leave a couple of pumpkins in completely unexpected places.

8. Halloween snacks

You can replace the usual traditional desserts with Halloween themed treats like cookies in the form of severed fingers, eclairs in the shape of bones, candy beetles, or orange-black muffins with chocolate eyes. Replace light-colored tablecloths with black ones and place a Halloween set instead of usual dishes. The table setting is just as important as the food.

After the end of the working day, you can have some fun. For example, you can drink a Bloody Mary or another Halloween cocktail. The main thing is that it is in themed colors: red, black, orange, or green. Instead of the usual straws and umbrellas, you can decorate the glasses with jelly worms.
