2. Painted bucket and gas can jack-o-lanterns
Instagram user @vintageroundup came up with this fabulous, easy-to-achieve rustic Halloween look.

The best part is they're safe for indoor or outdoor since there's no open flame involved!

Nothing says Halloween like the classic jack-o-lantern, but getting the effect can be tricky in an open flame-restricted apartment. This DIY project from Crafts by Amanda, however, is a super spooky option that will leave guests and trick-or-treaters blown away.
All you need is an old TV and some paint for a fun twist on the classic jack-o-lantern that you can use year after year.
4. "Punny" welcome mat

Adding a welcome mat is one of the simplest ways to make a rental feel like home, and a holiday is a perfect occasion to use a themed welcome mat. This tutorial from the House on Longwood Lane blog teaches you a cheap method to DIY a blank welcome mat.
You can use any wording you want since it's a DIY project, but the blog recommends you pick out a "punny" Halloween greeting. This is one of the best Halloween decoration ideas because you can truly express your fall spirit any way you choose!
5. Halloween glassware decals

This is a tiny touch that you can add to your home, but it will make a big impact on your guests. This idea, from Sugar and Cloth, uses standard black window clings and glassware of your choice for a festive end result.
You can do this to any glassware, but copper mugs work quite well as "pumpkins" and give you the perfect excuse to make Moscow mules!
6. Fresh floral moon pumpkin

Who says that the best Halloween decorations have to be exclusively creepy? If you're looking for Halloween decorations that are prettier than they are scary, this one is perfect for you.
Using fresh flowers, The Merrythought has created this gorgeous Halloween decoration that conveys the spirit of the season without giving off any "spooky" vibes.

Like a welcome mat, a small sign outside of your front door is a very simple way to add a small but impactful bit of decor to your entry. Dahlia July came up with the incredible idea of custom painting a wooden coffin to create a Halloween-themed welcome to her home!
You could very easily recreate this idea by purchasing one of the wooden coffins like Dahlia and painting your own message. The best part is getting to pick your own color scheme.
8. Decorate your "under the stairs" area

If you have a staircase in your apartment, the underneath section is likely one of the forgotten parts of the home. After all, the wedge-shaped wall or closet area is seemingly a waste of space. What better part of your house to decorate for Halloween, though?
And since the area is typically pretty small, you can make a big impact with minimal effort. Like Instagram user @theharvestmoonwitch, you can use hanging Halloween signs, lights and even seasonal rugs to make a serious impact with this small space.
9. Yarn spider webs

10. Floating witch hat lanterns
