Try Bold Patterns

Want to add some pattern to your gothic bedroom?
The vintage map on the wall and brass deer sculpture on the nearby wardrobe don’t hurt, either.
Other throw pillow motifs to look out for include haunted houses, candlesticks, black cats, and skulls.

Look for some floral-patterned art or bedspreads to add the perfect touch of color to adark bedroom design.
This can work especially well with pattern too, likeAlvin Waynedid in the bedroom above.
Use Darker Shades

Hang Some Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a great toolfor achieving a gothic bedroom look.
It’s even better if these colors are paired with rustic textures like linen or leather.
We love the adorned and eerie look ofVrenda Hexx’s dark and moody bedroom.
Alvin Wayne
We love the use of them as curtains in this bedroom seating nook fromStudio Peake.
Pair it with a statement light fixture for a coordinated look.
Install a Half-Wall
Use a mix of upholstery to create a half-wall look in your gothic bedroom.

Use Lush Velvets
Velvet provides lush texture and moodiness to a gothic-style space.
Add Contrasting Trim
For a regally gothic look, add some trim to your walls.
After an afternoon of DIYing, you’ll be left with a unique and character-filled addition to your bedroom.
Mary Patton Design
Paint the trim in dark or shimmering accent color to complete the look.
The stone will provide a sense of history and character, pairing perfectly with rich and moody colors.
Consider going all-black, likeVictoria’s Abodedid in their bedroom above.
Ashley Montgomery Design
Pair matte and shiny surfaces with a mix of textiles on bedding, from suede to satin and velvet.
Add Black Velvet Accents
For a texture that’s ultra-luxe, try black velvet.
It can be used in seating, headboards, and decor.

Gothic decor takes many cues from moody gothic architecturethink lots of moulding, ornamentation, and dark colors.
It also takes inspiration from Halloween decor like skulls and ghosts, but in a subtle and grown-up way.
