Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way is there to celebrate spooky season than fun dorm decorations? Since many of us are finally living in our own spaces without our family, we can decorate however we want (while still being kids at heart). Here are some of my favorite Halloween decorations from Target that will pumpkin spice up your space within a college student’s budget.
- Cable Knit Pumpkins ($5)
-
I bought two of these pumpkins (one orange and one white) for my living room table and have gotten so many compliments! Not only are they super affordable, but they’re not Halloween-specific so they make a great decoration for the whole fall season, especially with the cable knit look. And even better: they come in more sizes and colors!
- Large Snake Throw Pillow ($20)
-
When I saw this at Target, I knew it was coming home with me. This black and white statement pillow is easy to coordinate with the rest of your decor and offers a festive but elevated Halloween look.
- Halloween Throw Blanket ($10)
-
With so many cute patterns, you might have to pick up more than one of these super soft Halloween throws. These are perfect for your next scary movie night!
- Animal Skeletons ($15)
-
If you’re a big Halloween person like I am, you’ll get a kick out of these silly plastic animal skeletons. No matter if you get a raven, snake or bat, this funky centerpiece is a Halloween staple sure to start a conversation with guests.
Although decorating your living space can be expensive, Target has so many seasonal accessories that will get you into the Halloween mood without breaking your budget.
