Gothic home decor is unique and impressive, and is ideal for people who love creativity and a bit of drama in their lives. It is also for people who are inclined towards spirituality and yet are very modern and secular in their views. So, if this description fits you, and you are planning interior decoration, then below are some tips and ideas on the same, which you will find very useful. Walls The walls should ideally be made of stone, similar to those in the houses of the Gothic era. You can even consider fake stone walls, but only if they look authentic. Otherwise a good option would be to paint them in colors such as blue, purple, or gray. Furniture and Flooring The flooring should be either of stone or wood. Place a number of expensive silk rugs on the floor to give the house a rich appeal. The furniture should be of solid wood. It can be painted in colors such as black, silver, brown, or white for added effect. Fabric The decorations are accentuated by the use of rich, stunning, and costly fabric. So, when you are selecting the fabric for your bedding, cushions, curtains, and upholstery, make sure that it is very thick and heavy and also of a very high quality. Inexpensive fabrics are a big no. Accessories This decor is incomplete if some creative and beautiful artwork is not displayed in the rooms. So invest in a few beautiful paintings and other artwork which depicts people, sceneries, or houses of that era. Other accessories, which really go well with this style are candles, which come in different shades such as silver, gold, yellow, black, and red. Colored, scented candles in metallic candle holders, can be placed at different places in the house and will look especially beautiful in a bedroom, lending it a mysterious and romantic appeal. Wall hangings made from silk with silver or white embroidery on them, cushions in silk cloth with crystal designs on them, metallic chandeliers and plants which have white or red colored flowers, add to the appeal of the house. Victorian Goth Decor When planning this theme, think vintage lamps, classic art pieces such as pre-Raphaelite prints, heavy and expensive chandeliers, antique picture frames, and dry flower arrangements. The ideal colors for a Victorian Goth look are blue, purple, and green. Fabrics that go with such a look are brocade, silk, lace, and velvet. Furniture should be very heavy and preferably of mahogany or cherry color.

If you plan to adopt this style, visit the various antique shops in your area and look for historical paintings, wall hangings with religious symbols on them, knight statues and swords, as all these, when used creatively in the house, can lend it a typical medieval look. The best thing about Gothic home decor is that you can plan it the way you want. There are no hard and fast rules regarding what can be and what cannot be included.
