When nights draw in and the scary movies start loading on Netflix, you know it’s that time of year. Halloween is my fave holiday to decorate for, as the creepy, cool, and creative decoration options are never-ending. Not sure where to begin? A cute doormat is a good starting point.
I think there’s something so symbolic about changing your doormat for a new season or for a holiday. It just sets the tone for how you want you and your guests to feel when stepping into your home. Oh, and it'll also totally inspire you when deciding on what other decor you want to use for that holiday or season.
Whether you want to go full Halloween or just want a few subtle nods, a doormat is an easy way to get into the ghostie spirit. That’s why I’ve rounded up nine different Halloween doormats that are spooky yet stylish. Y’know, we gotta maintain that aesthetic!

I’ve decided that polka-dots are out, and that ghosts are in. I mean, they just look so much cuter, right? The coir on this mat is a medium pile, so it’s thick enough to wipe your shoes on. This smaller size is perf for dorms or apartments, but it does come in a larger size, in case you live in a bigger place.

Got the girlies over for a ‘90s Halloween TV and movie marathon? Lay down this mat to give them a fun welcome. The pop of contrast is stylish AF and will make it easier to read in the dark, too.

If you want to let your besties know that you’re loving their Halloween costumes before you’ve even opened the door, this is such a sweet way to do that.

Sure — you might not be able to transform your teeny apartment into a haunted house just for Halloween. But you can add a haunted house to your home, which is basically the next best thing.

I always say that to create what you want, you’ve gotta manifest it. So, if you’re after some spooky spirit, this mat is literally the perfect way to do that. The retro font? The sparkles? That’s aesthetic perfection, bb. I can just imagine Scooby and the gang laying this out in front of the Mystery Machine, to get those ghost take-down vibes going.

Want to go for a whimsigoth kinda vibe? Say hey to this webbed doormat, which is striking and bold. But wait! There’s an adorable li’l spider on there to scare away any ghosts or strangers. This has an anti-slip back, so it won’t shuffle around when you wipe your witch shoes on it. You could def complete the look with some fake cobwebs around your door.
