Step aside, orange and black.

The tidal wave of pink home decor, aka Barbiecore, has swept the nation and is now spilling into the holidays. Say hello to Pinkoween, a rosy rendition of Halloween decor that looks past the predictable orange-and-black palette. "Pink was picking up momentum last year as people crept away from gory halloween decor," says Stephanie Watkins, HomeGoods style expert. "This year, it's safe to say that pink-and-pretty Halloween decor will be even more popular."

Between viral TikToks that applaud HomeGoods' magenta sherpa ghost pillows and already-sold-out pastel ceramic ghost sculptures, fans have been driving the Pinkoween trend since July. "Halloween is all about being innovative, crafty, and clever, so why not pink?"says New York interior designer Lisa Frantz. "The holiday is all about self-expression and making statements."

Keiko Lynn, the HomeGoods featured finder who showcased how you can put a chic spin on spooky in the picture seen above, is all about the trend. "Halloween is my favorite time of year, but traditional orange and black doesn't go well with my very pink decor," she says. "I love the idea of taking traditionally spooky elements like skulls, bats, and ghosts and switching them up with pink hues." She outfitted her living room with an almost romantic etched floral gothic skull, bubble gum-hued candle stick holders with ghost candles, and blush pumpkins as a centerpiece that complements her velvet dining chairs.

Los Angeles interior designer Tamarra Younis of Union of Art interiors is of the same mindset as Lynn. The designer's house is mostly pink and white, so placing coordinating pumpkins on the front steps of her house is only natural.

Interior designer Anne Hulcher Tollett, principal of Hanover Avenue, who lives on "the Halloween Block" in Richmond, Virginia, and takes her decorations very seriously, notes that while pink twinkle lights fall under Barbie's Halloween spell, you can take the Pinkoween trend further with La Calavera Catrina Día De Los Muertos hand-crafted dolls. "Display them front and center on a sideboard or entry table, or as a centerpiece in the dining room," she recommends.

Pinkoween decor ranges from handcrafted Etsy finds to quirky tablescape and entertaining elements to luxe items you'll want to invest in and cherish (cue the Daniel House Club fuschia skull wool-and-cashmere cushion). See what other spooky and other charming decor will leave you tickled pink.

​Nothing says Halloween like a skeleton here and there, but a basic skull next to the candy dish is oh so predictable. Lynn's personal favorite pastel pink version has a lovely bouquet etched into its side. And dare we say it looks as if it's smiling?

For those who want touches of pink, this Farmhouse by Rachel Ashwell table runner is the perfect nod to Pinkoween that still stays on the neutral side. The set comes with two machine-washable runners.

Specialty libations are just the thing for a Halloween cocktail party, and this West Elm set of four whiskey glasses is perfect for serving a pink potion, like "poison" palomas, to your guests.

The newly released Matouk Schumacher collection is perfect for Pinkoween. It's all about mythical creatures like foo dogs and fire-breathing dragons–in shades of pink, of course!

A luxe blanket that looks like ghosts floating through pink mist? Yes, please. Leave it to Etsy vendor ShinArtPrints to create a whimsical design that feels as plush as it looks. It's a nice treat for Hocus Pocus movie nights.

Black cats have a spooky reputation for a reason, and making them pink just won't do. However, a rosy canvas print with a mystical feline is a whole different story.

Mushrooms dressed as ghosts or ghosts dressed as mushrooms? You decide. This hilarious pillow is a perfect porch swing addition.

Glam up Pinkoween with these petite gilded pink pumpkins that look stellar as fireplace decor. The 10-piece set comes in various sizes, creating a balanced look. The foam beauties also make a centerpiece–you might want to use them for Thanksgiving too.

Darling is the word that comes to mind when describing this sweet bamboo tray. Play up the charm by using it to hand out colorful lollipops in clear wrappers, or create contrast by placing a few spider-inspired chocolate cupcakes.

Etsy is a gold mine for unexpected decor touches, including ones to complement your Pinkoween theme. GlitterPartyCo has a dozen garlands and banners–from batty to Hocus Pocus–that add just the right amount of pink.

Halloween is nothing without some lights, and adding fluorescent fuchsia bats as temporary wall art is going to completely transform your Pinkoween. These measure about 15 inches by 7 inches, and at $10 each you can grab a few to make a statement. Go batty with it!

Grab a dozen of these pink skull planters (they're on sale!) and line your entryway. Wrap LED lights around each for added effect. These come with faux succulents so you can reuse them year after year.

If you want to celebrate Pinkoween on the DL, a novelty cauldron mug makes your usual brew that more fun. Toss in a few mini marshmallows and pretend that ghosts are haunting your coffee or cocoa.

You don’t need to throw a Halloween party to bust out this Cynthia Rowley Booyah ghost and pumpkin tablecloth. It's pink. It's cute. It's charming. It's the perfect backdrop to photographing your kids' candy loot.

Bet you never hugged a pumpkin–until now. This Mon Ami blush-colored pumpkin plush can double as a throw pillow.
