Gothic Bedroom in Natural Dark Style

My Gothic haunted forest themed bedroom is designed to incorporate a love of dark symbolism with natural elements that provide a peaceful and creative environment, related to a feeling such as like living in the Twilight Zone.

This Gothic themed bedroom is spooky enough to almost hear the eerie sounds surround you late at night, but also includes a modern twist to adapt to any styles of furniture and art that appeals to you. It's the unique and unusual decorating ideas that make a room memorable...

Gothic Haunted Forest Scene Setter

Goth Bedroom from the Dark Woods

You NEED something like this first! This is the main inspiration piece for the room, and I haven't found another option that you can readily purchase other than a basic silhouette mural. A spooky forest scene setter or wall mural with birch trees or tree silhouettes are a necessity, unless you can paint your own...

This will become the top half of your accent wall, which should be a dark color below to contrast the birch tree murals. You can leave the rest of the walls white, or paint them light gray to simulate shadows or mist.

Black Gothic Comforter

Gothic Bedding Options

Ideally, you want to attempt to drown out your bed from the scene and keep the accessories the main focus of the bedroom. A black and/or white comforter is your best bet - either plain colored or simple Gothic accents will suffice.

A few intricate patterned bedding options will work, as long as the design is natural. For instance, the velvet flocked comforter below has Earthy appeal. :-)

Moonlit Ambience

Gothic Bedroom Lighting

Use mild lighting in the room - such as rice paper lamps, led strand lights, and candles just to highlight the important areas (side table, bookshelves, desk area, etc).

Hang a large white paper lantern from the ceiling to resemble moonlit glow.
Don't forget to purchase the electric cord that goes with this lantern!
You need to be able to plug it in...

Haunted Forest Room Accents

A Subtle Gothic Bedroom Touch

1. Place dried real tree branches in tall planters, and perch a few of your feathered raven friends on them.

2. Hang flying bats in a few areas. You can also cut out bat shapes from black construction paper and hang them on the walls or ceiling. They will appear as shadowy figures.

3. Include real plants in your room. Large houseplants and vines make your forest look authentic.

4. Stone ruins, pillars, and foam tombstones make great props in this Gothic Bedroom. Visit my Gothic Home Decorating lens for instructions. :-)

Wood Spirits

Gothic Haunted Bedroom

Last, but not least - it's time to haunt your forest.

You can use Halloween flying ghosts and figurines, spirit animals, skulls and bones, or I find that my Apple Doll collection is quite fitting in this bedroom theme. Living Dead Dolls, Twilight movie memorabilia, or vampire bedroom props may also be a good option, if you so desire...

For additional spooky appeal, invest in a mist fogger for special occasions.
