NEW YORK—The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting cooler, and things are feeling a bit spooky out there. There are just a few more days until Halloween, but don’t fear if you haven’t decked the office out just yet—you still have time to get into the spirit. This week, we are taking a look at some quick, fun, last-minute ideas for celebrating Halloween in the office, no matter your budget or time constraints.

The team at Perris Modern Dentistry in Perris, California, used some fake spider webs and paper bats to decorate the front desk—an easy and relatively inexpensive Halloween setup that you can do quickly, too. Image via perrismoderndentistry on Instagram


In Boston, the Envision Optometry team had a pumpkin carving contest and opened voting up to everyone. If carving pumpkins seems too messy and potentially dangerous, painting them with your team is a great alternative—and of course, the finished pumpkins make for perfect office décor.

If it’s too late to decorate, getting in costume is also a great way to get in the Halloween mood. Last year, the team at Vivid Eye Care in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, stuck to their usual scrubs on Halloween, with the added fun of Mickey ears, cat ears and devil horns.

Setting up a quick, on-theme photo wall is a perfect way to decorate, too. It only takes up a small corner of the office, and the day’s patients can snap a photo in their new frames in front of a Halloween setup. Take inspiration from the simple but effective wall at Alleviate Pain Center in Dallas. Image via alleviatepaincenter on Instagram


If you’re a creative baker, there’s no better way to celebrate Halloween than with a tasty, spooky treat like these gingerbread mummies from Jane Dunn. Image via janespatisserie on Instagram
