29 Halloween Decor Ideas for Moms on a Budget
Halloween decorating can get expensive fast—especially when high-end stores like Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel tempt us with their gorgeous (and sometimes jaw-droppingly priced) collections.
But here’s the trick: you don’t have to pay luxury prices to get a home that looks warm, spooky, and Instagram-ready.
I’ve rounded up the top 29 Halloween decor products from Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel—and then paired each one with a budget-friendly dupe from Target, Walmart, Michaels, or Amazon.
That way, you can decide: splurge on the real deal, or save with the dupe and keep your wallet happy.
Let’s dive into the cauldron of savings.

Final Tricks & Treats for Decorating on a Budget
- Cluster cheap items for impact. Three $10 pumpkins together look just as good as a $90 centerpiece.
- Go neutral. Black, cream, and amber are timeless colors you can reuse every fall.
- Use timers. Battery LED candles save stress, money, and nightly “light patrols.”
- Mix splurge + save. Buy one show-stopper (like Pottery Barn’s terracotta lantern), then surround it with budget dupes.
Halloween should be fun, not financially frightening.
By mixing and matching, you can get the Pottery Barn + Crate & Barrel look while saving hundreds.
So tell me: which will you be this year—a spender, a saver, or a little bit of both?
