Dark and Spooky Night Halloween Tablescape

Dark and Spooky Night Halloween Tablescape

I am happy to once again be hosting a tablescape blog hop!  This time it is all about Halloween!  There are so many different themes for Halloween that I am sure all of the participants will bring something different to their tables.  I managed to style a Halloween table without one witch, or bat or skeleton this year! 

I brought out my thick moss table runner and added a few small gray pumpkins.  Little black lanterns with battery operated candles flickering inside add to the ambiance of this table.

The textures of the table settings are so interesting, a twig and vine placemat topped with a more formal charger with ornate ornamentation.  Dark silver/black salad plates sat upon gray dinner plates.  The chargers can be found on Wayfair here:  Black chargers.

Each salad plate is topped with another little miniature lantern with a glowing candle adding atmosphere to this candlelit table.  The moss runner was topped with lanterns, black painted bottles with tapers in them and small gray votive candles. Slate gray and charcoal napkins were knotted together for a casual look.  

My stemware choice was easy, a smoky gray water goblet and silverplate wine goblets. 

A few little gray pumpkins were nestled near bottles painted with chalky black paint.  Silver goblets were washed clean, but not polished to add to the spooky feel.

Style this table with these items:

Gray dinner plates
Black Chargers
Small Lanterns
Medium Lanterns 
Moss Table Runner
Silverplate Goblets
Gray Wine Goblets

Now…Let’s see how all of these bloggers styled their Halloween tablescapes!

  1. Chloe, this is a very chic way to style for the season without tipping the gory or cheeky side of things, and I love it! It’s like walking through a fogging night, perhaps on the edge of a cemetery. The lighting, the subdued color schemes in the black chargers, gray plates and silver goblets all come together nicely for that eerie look. Well done! Thank you so much for inspiring the group of stylists who’ve joined on this blog hop. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the variety and being a part of the murder (that’s a group of crows, lol).

  2. Chloe, I love that your table is so sophisticatedly spooky!! I immediately thought of the Headless Horseman and then spotted him on your side table. I love the pairing of the smokey goblets and the unpolished silver goblets. Your table gives off a fabulous eerie glow!! Thank you so much for hosting these tablescape hops!! I always enjoy seeing the different tables! Wishing you a wonderful Halloween full of fun treats!

  3. Your table and eerie setting is so effective Chloe, you don’t see any ghosts or ghastly things but you have a feeling they are there!! It has a real haunted mansion feel, and the gray, black and earthy elements, combine into creepy elegance! I love the gray pumpkins and chalky black bottles too. I love all the candles and the individual lanterns on each plate stack, Happy Halloween Chloe! Thanks for hosting once again, I always look so forward to our creative hops!

  5. What a fun table. Definitely an eerie table that looks like it belongs in a haunted house. The moss runner, the smoky goblets and the lanterns all make this seems like a Halloween night. Candlelight being the very best for creating this spooky table. Thank you again for organizing this fun blog hop.

  6. Love your spectacularly spooky table Chloe! It gives me the feeling of creeping through a graveyard at night! Your plate stack is especially gorgeous, and I love how you have used the grapevines too! As always, thank you for pulling this all together 🙂

  7. Hello Chloe,
    I agree with Rita, such a chic Halloween tablescape. Love the grays, lanterns and over all feel of flirting with goblins and ghosts, but not actually being terrified by them.
    Thank you for organizing this event. Your inspiration and talent brighten many a life.
    Happy Halloween!

  8. Ooohhh! The green moss runner, lanterns and gray and black colors have me imagining I’m tip toeing through a haunted cemetery in anticipation of things that go bump in the night rising from their graves. Well done Chloe!

  9. Spooky and chic is a great combination for this time of year. The glow from the candles adds to the over feeling and that stack is everything! You’ve outdone yourself once again and thank you so much for always bringing us together. Time for you to rest!!

  10. Chloe, this table is eerily elegant and so beautifully styled. All of the different textures and elements create such an interesting display that is perfect for a Halloween party!

  12. Chloe, this is amazing. Your tablescape gives me a feeling of walking through a London graveyard on a cold, foggy, eerie night. The old streetlights are on, but cast a faint, flow in the thick, moist night. The moss really adds to the idea of moisture in the air. The textures really express the outdoor feel to your table. Really an awesome Halloween tablescape!
