Cast iron, black wax and a little candlelight give you a look that is properly spooky and still looks good in the weeks after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are our favourite gothic Halloween decor ideas, organised by where you&#8217;ll use them. Each idea comes with the hardware to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Front Door: Start with a Bat Knocker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your front door is the first thing trick-or-treaters and party guests see, so start there. A door knocker is the best single upgrade because every visitor touches it. A bat in an antique iron finish says Halloween without a single pumpkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Try this:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swap your usual knocker for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ironmongeryworld.com\/door-hardware\/exterior-door-furniture\/door-knockers\/bat-door-knocker-antique-iron.html\">Bat Door Knocker<\/a> for the season, or keep it all year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the colours to black and antique iron so the door looks original, not themed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add a dark wreath of dried leaves or black feathers above the knocker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Browse all our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ironmongeryworld.com\/door-hardware\/exterior-door-furniture\/door-knockers\">door knockers<\/a> for more gothic
