We found 11 adorable ways that you can decorate your office, while still keeping it fun and chic.

While we’ll always love the classic orange pumpkin, they might not go with our office decor.

And if you love the classy black and gold, you can get that studded pumpkin at Target for $6.00.
2. These giant googly eyes combine spooky with adorable.
So many Halloween decorations can be spooky and gross, but maybe that’s not very fun to stare at for all of October. These are a super simple DIY project that you can make with materials from your local thrift store. Check out the instructions from Maker Mama here!
