8 Easy Halloween Office Cubicle Decorations
Kids love Halloween! But who says adults can’t have a little bit of fun at Halloween, too? It’s the best time of the year! If you aren’t the kind of person who likes to dress up for Halloween, how about the next best thing – dressing up your office cubicle? If your office allows it, dressing up your cubicle is the perfect way to add a little spice to the workday and give your coworkers something to talk about.
From spooky to under the sea – there are a ton of decorating options for your cubicle this year! Not the creative type? Not a problem. Here are 5 easy Halloween office cubicle decorations to inspire you.
1- Crime Scene
A classic. All you need is some crime scene tape and masking tape (for the body outline). If you want bonus points, add some “peel and stick” bloody handprints or sprinkle fingerprint dusting powder (baby powder) and other assorted “clues” to make the scene look legit.
2- Spider Web
Nothing beats the ease of picking up a $2 pack of polyester spider webs and weaving them around your cubicle. Throw in a few well-placed fake spiders and you have yourself a very spooky scene. Even better, it’s easy to remove from your cube when the Halloween fun is over.
3- Graveyard
A graveyard is a key symbol at Halloween. Assemble several gravestones intertwined with rubber rats and crows! If you want to dial up the spookiness, run a fog machine if your boss will allow it. You can also bring in a bag or bucket of dirt and hide it under your desk for that freshly dug grave scent.
4- Under the Sea
Perhaps scary is not your thing. You can easily wrap your office cube in whimsical blue cellophane, blow up a few blue and white sea-foam balloons, and add a few cherished stuffed animal creatures from the sea and presto you’ve created your own cubicle oasis.
5- Dungeon
If you want to take it up a notch, try a dungeon-themed cube featuring “brick” walls, shackles and chains, spider webs, creepy critters, and more. Using a black light to produce an eerie glow is optimal, as is a soundtrack of moaning and clanking. Have fun with this and go all out – you just might win the office-wide cubicle-decorating contest!
6- Doll Ghosts
Using small doll ghosts is another idea for decorating your desk for Halloween. You can hang small ghosts on your monitor or private cubicle wall, or arrange them around your monitor or on your desk to create a spooky atmosphere. If you have shelves in your office cubicle, you can hang them from the shelves with invisible thread. Hanging ghosts will give your office cubicle a dreadful feel.
If you want to make your office cubicle a little scary, you can create a ghost story scene in the corner of your cubicle. You can use spooky candles and twinkling lights to create a magical atmosphere.

7- Pumpkins
Pumpkins are an important element in Halloween decorations. You can place carved pumpkins with a scary look on your desk. To make it look even scarier, put a red light inside the pumpkin. You can also put a black net and some fake spiders on the pumpkin. Pumpkins are both decorative for your office cubicle and make the space a little scary.
If you want to use a different idea to decorate your cubicle space with Halloween signs, you can use pumpkins as vases for Halloween flowers in black, purple, or orange.
You can even use pumpkins as boxes to store office supplies. For example, you can put pens, paper clips, and small office supplies inside.
8- Skeletons
You can use small, spooky-looking skeletons to decorate your office cubicle for Halloween. Hang them with invisible thread from the cubicle wall or from the ceiling just above your head.
You can place a full skeleton in a corner of your office cubicle in a position similar to a dead person. You can even sit a large skeleton on a chair to create a scary atmosphere in your cubicle.
