Instead of comical decorations in materials that won't last past Halloween, embed the holiday in the color and style of your everyday. Black and orange and ghostly clear are beautiful hues that complement the Halloween theme but still work for the rest of autumn too.
I want some fun during the month of October, and these pieces bring it but won't lose my attention from year to year. Many of them could become part of your space permanently. I think of Halloween as the start of the entertaining season. Invite some people over for a Halloween dinner to see the magical transformation going on in your kitchen.
Halloween sometimes comes out kitsch, but these pieces can keep your cooking, dining and entertaining classy all month — and season — long.

The wisp of black on this gorgeous serving plate feels like a mist or cloud on a Halloween night sky. This makes a dramatic piece for any dinner.

This simple light decoration makes your dining table haunted and gothic without the huge expense of a real chandelier.

I adore how this takes a simple apple and makes it a source of light. This can be even be used for small pumpkins. I could find uses for these candles all through Christmas.

These beautiful vine pumpkins would sit nicely on your kitchen island or on the table as a centerpiece. I like the tone of the vine as contrasted with the normal orange of Halloween pumpkin decorations.

For a social dinner or dessert, put a cauldron on your table and get to delicious dipping. Heat chocolate or cheese like a witches' brew!

My favorite cookware is versatile enough to go on the stove top and in the oven. I would use this for stews, curries, braising meats or any comforting long-stewed dish you can think of. In this color it adds a bright spot to your dinner table.

Display your Halloween cupcakes with flair. These spider cupcake holders add a little spooky to your Halloween party. I bet some of these would walk away!

| Whether filled with comforting soups or candy for grabbing, I would use this pumpkin serving bowl all season long. It has a natural color and grain that I prefer in an autumn setting. Private Comment

Stylish table napkins with sprawling autumn squash flowers. I love the curving stems that cut through the shades of orange.

The detail on these dishes could sit in well on a fall afternoon tea party. The black and white is classy and just slightly spooky thanks to the hooting owl.

Here are some darling invitations you could use for your Halloween dinner party. I love the detail in these pumpkins almost as much as I love paper.

Just barely accented in black. You could swirl around a fancy drink for dramatic effect.

These fun suctioning ghouls and goblins will help you find your drinking glass at your next Halloween party — that is, if your kids don't steal them first!

Are you sitting or are you floating? Even though the expense puts these on a "when you win the lottery" wishlist, a set of these stylish Victorian ghost chairs would be so fun on Halloween. (Plus, you can get mini chairs for the kiddie table!)

These sushi baby costumes are good enough to eat at a costume party. The wasabi/ginger headband accent is the sweetest part of this ensemble. I'll take them all.

Bring your little one into your kitchen for an afternoon of Halloween baking. I wish they had one in my size.

What better way to add to your cooking style than with this tangerine mixer? The color is inspiring for some Halloween cookie baking.

I crave pumpkin desserts all the month of October (and let's face it, way beyond that). These would be perfect for individual pumpkin cakes or breads.

| Carving pumpkins is difficult and dangerous. This knife should help me cut squash and pumpkin easily, as well as carve for Halloween. Private Comment

The modern woman's magic broom. I love the wooden dark-grained handle and the sleek look of this heat-resistant silicone spatula.

Tjpatrick1: Me too! I love them. My friend says they can be made easily, but I'm not so handy with a sewing machine.
