If you want to wow your customers even before they enter your business, cover your entrance in bats. Weatherproof and removable, these stickers create a realistic effect during windy days, when the bats flap their wings. Inside, they can cover a wall, follow the line of your stairs, or turn your ceiling into a horror scene.

Embrace the true Halloween spirit and create an eerie and unforgettable ambiance in your establishment by extending a warm, yet chilling, welcome to your customers. Picture this: eerie, ghostly hands, each gripping a flickering candle, artfully adorning your walls. As your patrons enter, they’ll be transported into a realm of supernatural delight, where the line between the real and the supernatural blurs. These haunting candle-holders are not just decorations; they are gateways to an authentic Halloween experience that your customers won’t soon forget.

A restaurant is a great place for candles and their intimate glow, and an even better one for Halloween-themed candle decor. These battery-operated candles are ready to use right out-of-the-box, and come in rich shades of orange, purple and green for an extra touch of Halloween color.

If you want to keep your restaurant’s color palette restricted to more neutral shades, or if you don’t want to add any additional touches of color to an already colorful interior, these flickering candles are a subtle way to celebrate Halloween. Add them to your restaurant tables and bring a smile to your customers’ faces without disrupting your color scheme or cluttering your interior decor.

We already made public our love for neon signs, and we repeatedly talked about their place in commercial decor, including selfie walls. If you share the same passion, Halloween offers you the perfect opportunity to spruce up your place with some energy-saving, long-using illuminated signs.

The great thing about neon signs is that they allow you to get creative and use any area of your commercial space (including your restroom or outdoor areas) to bring in some humor, surprise your customers or send a message. Imagine, for instance, all the places you could hide this charming cowboy ghost.

In an office where you need to keep seasonal decor subtle, non-intrussive and classy, adding a few of these spider-web decor pieces to the corners of your doors sends the message while preserving the professional look of your space.

You can also place these spiders in strategic places throughout your space, even though their realistic look may be a bit much for some. In the end, sending chills down someone’s spine is a worthy Halloween goal, and what the season is all about. If you prefer a milder approach, you can choose to have these spiders painted in other colors to tone down the spooky vibes.
