Pull out the Halloween decor and create a beautiful and creative Grey & White Halloween Tablescape. We put together a Grey & White Skeleton Graveyard Tablescape worth checking out down below!
Grey & White Halloween Tablescape
As we usher in Fall, it’s time to consider some fall-related holidays. First up, Halloween.
I’m not a HUGE Halloween fan. I don’t get excited about dressing up in costumes, candy, and all the crazy and weird things that come with celebrating Halloween.
But I am a fan of all things decor, including challenging myself to create a fun Halloween tablescape.
And that’s just what happened one chilly Saturday afternoon.
On my many trips to Home Goods, I noticed grey and white skeleton salad plates. I walked past them, then circled back around.
I hemmed and wondered what I could do with them and HOW I could put together an elegant tablescape around these plates.
As I walked around the store, an idea started to form. I found more skeleton-related decor; then, I began to get excited!
I thought I had a chance to pull off a beautiful Halloween tablescape.
I didn’t want to do a scary or gross table decor idea.
I wanted something elegant and classy.
I picked up related accessories from Home Goods to accompany the skeleton theme.
I had enough grey and white accessories at home to finish this look. One thing I always recommend before shopping for decor items is to shop at home.
Because I’ve accumulated so much over the years, I’m usually surprised at what I find in my stash. (lol)
Here is how I decorated this Tablescape
- Roll out a white linen (or cloth) tablecloth across the table.
- Add a Silver and white Skeleton table runner to the center of the table. I picked up this table runner from Home Goods and the plates and decorative pieces. You can find these items at your Home Goods right now.
- Lay two grey feather boas in the center of the table on top of the table runner.
- Add the Large Grey and white Skull in the middle of the table runner. I added the smaller white skulls on the other side of the larger skull.
- Set the table: Place a square silver charger at each place setting. Add a white dinner plate, followed by the grey & white skull lace salad plate.
- Add silverware and glasses to each place setting (forks on the left, spoons and knives on the right).
- To the right of each place setting, I added a Mini Grey Skeleton Concrete Tombstone Decorative picked up from Target.
- I also placed taper candles by each place setting. You can turn off the lights and use the candles around the table (feel free to add more) to give you a spooky but enjoyable feeling!
- If you have room on your table, add Halloween decoratives to give this Tablescape a graveyard feel. I added a Large Concrete Tombstone silver/glass pumpkin and spread cheesecloth around the back and edges of the table.
I love how it all came together, giving me the classy, elegant Halloween decor look I envisioned at the store.

You totally nailed it and Home Goods must truly love and know you by sight. I have to go in there some time this week and I’m already dreading how much money I’ll be spending. I’m loving this tablescape though.
