Here's my article with the basics of Gothic style decor and a few creative suggestions to get started.

Basics of Gothic Home Decorating

Gothic Haunted Forest Bedroom Theme

It's been a while since I've created a new bedroom theme. This Gothic haunted forest bedroom theme is one of my new favorite creations because it's based on my Gothic Halloween wedding decorations. Each room designed with these theme ideas should not look similar once you include your personal furniture, bedding, curtains, and art styles. It's versatile enough to be modern or traditional and has just a touch of darkness to insure that all the spooks fit in nicely...

Black ceramics, red and purple glass, goblets, chalices, table accessories...what do you use for dinner and tableware? Are you stuck passing out spiderweb and bat-shaped plastic Halloween plates? lol

Gothic Masquerade Bedroom Theme

I love to promote the cultural and artistic sides of Gothic, because I'm inspired by dark romantic art, music, architecture, and design. It's too effortless and uncreative to paint walls black and hang up a hundred posters for your Gothic room. You can only sleep in a coffin made for one and surround yourself in gravestones until you hit your mid 20's, get married, and have to share your room. ;-)

I created this Gothic Masquerade Bedroom to capture a dramatic and romantic bedroom theme that would appeal to couples and for those who are looking for something unique to complement their eerie collectibles. And if I've done my job correctly, it'll have you singing your own opera when you piece your version of the room theme together...
