IKEA's Halloween Home Decor Collection Is So Good It's Scary

IKEA may come to mind as a store most likely to have evergreen household staples, like basic furniture and decor that you'll need at any time of year. But if you're not shopping IKEA's seasonal collections, we guarantee that you're totally missing out. IKEA's 2024 Halloween collection has cushions, lighting fixtures, and hangable decorations that will help you bring Halloween to life inside your home. 

It might still technically be September, but that hasn't stopped retailers from dawning the ghosts and bats for October's biggest holiday. Dollar Tree released a line of purple Halloween decor that will make you giddy with DIY potential and pretty much any decor shop you visit is likely to have bulk candy and pumpkins front and center already. The IKEA line is particularly easy to shop, though, because all Halloween items are filed under the name "KUSTFYR" so you can easily find them online (interestingly, "kustfyr" means "coastal lighthouse" in Swedish, so we guess IKEA finds lighthouses spooky enough for the holiday). 

The KUSTFYR collection this year definitely won't break the bank. Even the most expensive items in the category, like a fancy LED wreath made of faux tree branches and a bat-adorned welcome mat, ring in at around $20. IKEA seems to have honed in on the spooky lighting as well, with many products emanating orange and purple hues that will add color and seasonal ambiance to your decor. There's a pumpkin LED table lamp, Jack-o-lantern string lights, and plenty of orange and purple LED string lights for under $22. 

Not ready to let go of summer just yet? You can lean into some subtle ways to start decorating your home for Halloween by snagging a shopping bag covered in ghosts, a super-subtle spider tray perfect for a coffee station, or some $3 pumpkin and ghost decorative mugs for your pumpkin spice lattes. A lot of KUSTFYR items fall into the category of Halloween decor that you can use year-round, too; we can imagine it'd be hard to put a cute Frankenstein spatula or ghost pillows away for an entire year.
