An apartment-friendly approach with nothing permanently attached. Start with what you already have, choose one focal point, and give yourself permission to keep it simple.
Check the rules
Ask your building about balcony decorations and exterior lights. Keep fire exits, drains and railings clear.
Keep it contained
Group a lantern and pumpkins on a stable side table. Use battery lighting instead of trailing a cable through a door.
Plan the weather
Secure lightweight pieces within the balcony, away from the railing edge. Bring fabric indoors when rain or strong wind is expected.
Before the first trick-or-treater
Check the display after dark. Secure loose pieces, keep the door and walkway clear, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for lights and props. Plan to bring delicate items inside if the weather changes.
Save the idea for later.
Small balcony. October feeling.
