It’s officially September, so spooky season is here—right? If you’re eager to decorate for Halloween but don’t want to go full haunted house, a fall garland is an easy place to start. Picture moody maple leaves draped across a mantel, glowy orange string lights wrapped around a staircase, or friendly felt ghosts hanging from a doorway. Better yet, all of these picks are from Amazon, so you can get your spooky-season decorating underway in just a few clicks.

Garlands require minimal effort to hang—I recommend zip ties or twine for the staircase, but tiny hooks for the mantel and doorways. With some of the lighter options (cue the macrame ghost garland and Happy Halloween banner), you may be able to get away with using tape.

Add a soft glow to your spooky home with this black Norfolk pine garland, available in 6 or 9 feet. Drape it over the fireplace mantel, wrap it around the staircase railing, or use it as a centerpiece on a dining table.

This playful garland features three cute ghosts and six pumpkins, all made from felt. Decorate a blank wall, mirror, or the fireplace mantel to add festive charm.

Hosting a Halloween party? This sparkly banner is a must. I’d recommend hanging it on a blank wall and turning it into a photo backdrop. There’s also an option that reads Happy Boo Day, if your Halloween party doubles as a birthday celebration.

Bows are trending for fall, and they’re the perfect way to add a touch of whimsy to your home. This six-foot garland alternates between velvet bows and smiling wooden pumpkins.
