When your teen decides to go Goth, you can decorate her bedroom in a way that will help her feel completely at home, even if your personal style, as reflected in the rest of the home, is completely opposite.
Implementing a Gothic style may mean including some interior changes and a couple of accessories to design the room. No need to overdo though. With key items, your teen's bedroom can have the realistic look of a Gothic architecture.
Decide on the darkness of color. Black is synonymous to Goth but this color may be too much or too expected. Why not try other dark tones like red or purple, and then accent it with some black to remain true to the Gothic look? Gothic architecture can also be applied as a visual aid on the walls. Paint images of stone block medieval castles or a semblance of bricks. To do the latter, use a large square sponge with a gray paint then add some dark and light tones for a layered effect.
The floor will also benefit from a dark-colored area rug. You can use multiple rugs if the room is big or if not, one large rug in front of the bed will do.
A wrought iron bed or a heavy wooden four poster bed frame with a lot of richly colored velvet drapery reflects the classic Goth style. Make sure that all woods used in the room are dark with a lot of intricate carving detail. Pick bed linen in deep purple or violet. Add as many accent pillows as possible, piling them onto the bed in varying sizes and shapes. Pillow cases would be great in heavy red velvets, complete with intricate embroidery.
For accessories, you have a world to choose from when it comes to Goth. Visit home remodeling and salvage stores for gargoyles mounted on columns and arches. This should not cost you too much. Hang your gargoyle above the door frame or on a column placed by the door. Mount a small coffin onto wrought iron legs to create a personalized study desk for your teen. Add faux iron table lamps onto it. Glue miniature skulls onto her telephone to make it more fun. A few crucifixes hung on the walls are a gothic must-have. Dragon artwork would also be great. Frame up classic vampire movie posters to decorate the walls and make the room more playful. Hang some crucifixes above the head of the bed and mirrors. For hooks and lighting features, go for rustic iron.
Shop wisely though. Take advantage of thrift stores and salvage stores. This Gothic phase may pass quickly and before you know it, your teen is clamoring for a new bedroom do. It's better to have some money saved for that day of yet another change.
