Explore our new Halloween home decor and create your very own house of horrors!

Here at Rockett St George, nothing excites us more than a reason to give our homes a seasonal glow-up. Halloween is the perfect excuse (after all, candles are practically mandatory), especially if you're in the maximalist camp. From monochrome floor lamps and table lights to gothic-style homeware accessories and versatile papercraft decorations, everything you need to transform your space from happy home to haunted house is here. Spooky season is upon us, and trust us - we're ready for it!


1. Create A Halloween Tablescape

The dining table is the centre of any celebration, and Halloween is no exception. Whether you're having a devilishly delightful dinner a deux or dance-til-dawn Halloween party, setting the scene starts here. Follow our five simple (g)hosting tips here for a night to remember! 

  1. Select your candles. Candles are an essential component for any stylish dinner setting, but even more so at Halloween. Perfect for creating a spooky scene, our black and monochrome candles and candlesticks add the perfect Gothic elements to your tablescape, while our cute little ghost and pumpkin candles light up the mood, both literally and metaphorically. Alternatively, you can add depth and texture with our chillingly blood red dinner candle, or perhaps you prefer a pop of colour with a hot pink classic taper candle. Alternatively, add a little animal magic with our leopard print wax works. Your home, your rules...shop our candle collection here
  2. A chic tablecloth. This season's monochrome striped paper tablecloth is a true multitasker - as well as protecting your dining room or kitchen table from spills and thrills, it also provides the ideal backdrop for your Halloween decor. This year, you can't beat the beautiful Black & White Striped Tablecloth. 
  3. A playful plate set. Tableware is the focus point of any trick-or-treat-inspired tablescape. Our Black Bon Appetit Set suits the mood, or alternatively, you can play up the monochrome magic with our 12-Piece Monochrome Handmade Dinner Set. 
  4. A seriously spooky centrepiece. Our Black King Skull Ornament brings serious scares, if you're brave enough to debut this spine-chilling character. He's guaranteed to start conversations for all the right reasons, so give this ghastly guest a place at your table and indulge in an evening of terrifying tales and scary stories. It's what Fright Night was made for! 

2.Paper garlands are perfect for when you decorate your home for Halloween

May we talk paper decorations for a moment? Because much as we love iconic forever furniture that stands the test of time (and taste), there's also something to be said for the incredible versatility that comes with paper garlands and papercraft party pieces. They're the low-maintenance, high-impact heroes you need when you decorate your home for Halloween, and are affordable as well as being fabulously fun. Want to introduce some serious coffin-core to the casa? Make spooky papercraft your new best friend.

From pumpkin paper lanterns to skeleton wall hangings and honeycomb spiders (trust us, they'll make you jump every. damn. time), there’s a paper decoration for your kind of Halloween mood. Creepy chic? We've got you covered. Gothic glam? Not a problem. Playful and kitsch? All in a day's work. The beauty of paper decorations at Halloween is that they're easy to style (and even easier to store), and they instantly set the scene for your Halloween party or movie night. Trust us, one set of Halloween Paper Lanterns and you're all set for witchery of the highest order. Mix and match textures, layer them with fairy lights, garlands of monochrome faux foliage and throw a couple of balloons into the mix, then take a step back to admire your own handy work. Lightweight, sassy, and just the right amount of spooky - Halloween decorating never looked so good. 

3. Bring Halloween Vibes To Your Home Bar

A party is the perfect excuse to decorate your home for Halloween and no haunted house party is complete without a bar. The star of the show for any cocktail corner is undoubtedly our iconic Black Disco Ball Bar Cart. However, there are plenty of other ways to decorate your home for Halloween when hosting a boozy party. Stunning glassware is an essential, of course, and you'll find plenty to choose from in our glassware department. Go dark and moody or cocktail crazy (or both - just don't blame us for the hangover!) Whether you're the proud owner of a drinks trolley or are opting for a makeshift cocktail station in your living room, create a menu of Halloween tipples and stock the bar in anticipation. Bottoms up! 


4. Introduce Milagro Moments

There’s something magical about milagro heartsand it’s no wonder, since milagro is the Spanish word for miracle. These beautiful little tokens aren’t just decorative; they’re rich with meaning, steeped in tradition, and carry centuries of heartfelt symbolism.

In Mexican folklore, milagros (or “miracles”) are small charms offered up as prayers, thanks, or wishes. And the milagro heart - one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable shapes - symbolises love, healing, protection, and gratitude. Whether used to ask for emotional support, mend a broken heart, or simply express joy and appreciation, these iconic treasures are deeply personal and full of soul.

Made in metal, painted wood, or embellished with vibrant colours and patterns, milagro hearts bring a touch of spiritual warmth and artistic beauty to any space. They’re often adorned with flames, wings, or rays of light, making them feel like something truly divine - while chanelling a little rock n' roll magic, too. 

We like to see milagro hearts as the antithesis to Halloween - the ying to its yang, if you like. In the interest of balance (and beauty), therefore, we're including them in our round-up detailing how to decorate your home for Halloween. They're full of positive energy and intention, and they'll always have a place in our hearts because of it. 


And There You Have It!

When it comes to seasonal styling and spooky yet soulful home décor, it’s all about choosing pieces that spark joy, tell a story, and bring personality into every corner of your space - what we like to refer to as the Rockett St George 'wink'.  


From the bold, impactful simplicity of paper Halloween decorations to the heartfelt, folk-art charm of milagro hearts, these are the details that create magic and steal hearts. 


Paper decorations are your go-to for quick, affordable Halloween transformations. They’re easy to put up, easy to store, and offer maximum wow factor with minimal effort. Perfect for party people and last-minute decorators alike, they allow you to go big on theme without overwhelming your home. 


On the other hand, milagro hearts bring a sense of depth and tradition, offering something meaningful that lasts not just while you decorate your home for Halloween but all year round. Representing love, healing, and gratitude, they’re a beautiful way to bring cultural heritage and emotional connection into your interiors, whether you're giving your walls a gallery moment or gifting a little miracle to someone you love.

At Rockett St George, we believe homeware should never be boring. Every piece should spark a conversation and lift your mood. Interior design should be about decorating with intention, joy, and the confidence to be utterly unique.


So decorate your home for Halloween with heart, soul, and a little rock 'n' roll drama. Because fabulous interiors are always in season.
