9. Beetlejuice Black-and-White Table

It is showtime! Black-and-white stripes inspired by the classic ghost-with-the-most make this tablescape bold, playful, and endlessly photographable — and deceptively easy to style.
What You’ll Need
- Black-and-white striped table runner or fabric
- Black-and-white striped plates or napkins
- Plain white pumpkins
- Black candlesticks with white candles
- A quirky mini skeleton or two
How to Make
- Lay the striped runner or fabric across the table — diagonal placement looks extra dramatic.
- Set black plates or chargers with white napkins at each seat.
- Alternate white pumpkins and black candlesticks down the center.
- Add a mini skeleton slumped over a pumpkin for humor.
- Keep extras minimal — the stripes are the star.
