1. Royal Skeleton Halloween Tablescape Idea

It's all about the layers when it comes to tablescapes. Sure, you can eat your entire meal on one plate... but look at the depth and dimension 3 plates adds!

I am absolutely loving the top skeleton dish too. I was able to find it on Etsy a number of times. Just search royal stafford skull if the one i have linked is sold out.

Another item that adds a spooky layer of depth and dimension are the faux branches. They come quite long but you can easily cut them and hot glue gun them into little pots painted black like what was done for this Royal Halloween Tablescape.

To compliment this look, use a variety of royal decor items like chalices, and crowns. When in doubt, search the dollar store and spray paint anything gold that fits the theme!

A good tablescape also has appropriate portion sizes between the items. Notice how big the skeleton and crown are in the center? Don't be afraid of mixing the sizes up for a truly unique table setting this this Royal Skeleton Halloween Tablescape Idea!

2. Black and White Halloween Tablescape Idea

There is something so classic about a black and white Halloween tablescape.. vintage even!

To achieve the main centerpiece, a little DIY is involved. Inside the glass cloche are 2 skulls. Make sure the skulls you get fit the dimensions of inside the cloche! You can hot glue your skulls together so they sit a specific way.

I particularly love the plates used here. They were originally sold by 222 Fifth Avenue and featured in stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond and Macys. You can still find the exact set on Ebay.

Another unique feature of this Black and White Halloween tablescape are the candles. Not only are they LED so you dont have to worry about your table full of spiderwebs catching fire... but you can also just TURN THEM OFF at night. The batteries will last all month long and can be used year after year!

If you can find a great deal on different colored pumpkins and squashes, this might be the most economical tablescape on this post. The main centerpiece uses real guards and squashes on top of a bed of faux eucalyptus garland for a touch of greenery. If you are just starting your tablescape collections, I'd highly recommend finding a greenery garland you can you use more than once. Eucalyptus is perfect for all seasonal tablescapes!

What's unique about this tablescape is the floating decor. The witches hat has been suspended from the ceiling with fishing line. From the hats, you may notice small paper bats also hanging! How cute!

This easy tablescape also uses a dish set you may already have. This Corelle all white dish set is #1 best selling (even I have it!) . The set is so versatile, just jazz them up with different colored cocktail napkins .
