Gothic Masquerade Bedroom Theme

Ranked #169 in Home & Garden, #3,396 overall

A Gothic Romantic Bedroom Theme

A Gothic masquerade bedroom can also accommodate a living room, or another comfortable room where you would try to sit peacefully to relax and collect your thoughts. It is one of my favorite home decorating themes that I have designed so far - complete with black Gothic comforters and bedding options.

I love the dark romantic aspects of Gothic decor, with meaningful objects in the design that portray mystique that can be added to any environment. This Gothic bedroom is romantic, seductive, and sinister with dark colors, rich textures, and ambient lighting...it's a timeless theme that will never go out of style and is always very dramatic...

Masquerade Theme Basics

Elegant and Dramatic Gothic Bedroom

Gothic, Bedroom, Mask, Masquerade, ThemeThink Phantom of the Opera - for an elegant and sophisticated Gothic bedroom style. Cheap Mardi Gras beads not included, unless that was the look you intended to portray. Hang a large red velvet curtain over your headboard or on an accent wall. Tie back with thick cords to create the look of a stage. Display your masks or artwork inside the curtain.

I painted squares with different shades of the same color to create a memorable appeal to a single mask. Instead of masks, French or Venetian art and images are also good options.

Bedroom Masquerade - Fabrics

Gothic Velvet and Lace Linens

Rich fabrics and jewel tones are the secret to making this a room that no one will ever forget. Use thick velvets, lace trims, furs, leathers, and heavy brocades for curtains, pillows, and side table dressings.

I included a feather boa to help tie the masks into the room, but don't forget that wreaths, roses made from feathers, fluffy ravens, and long plumes will also work well. If you don't like feathers, pick another feature such as shimmering masks or items with metallic accents to draw attention.

You can also redesign the theme to basic black and white, while focusing on the drama and artistic aspects of masquerade.

Wrought Iron - Gothic Necessity

Iron and Candles for a Goth Bedroom

Did I mention you need wrought iron accents and 100's of candles to complete this bedroom theme? :-)

Candlelight creates rich ambiance to set the romantic and relaxing atmosphere in this theme. If possible, hang a dark crystal chandelier centered in your room. You can also include multiple candelabras, sconces, candlesticks, and tea light holders.

Use intricate iron designs on as many candle accents as possible to have dancing shadows...

Enhance the Romance with Accessories

Figurines, Jewelry, Vases, etc.

* Display your traditional collections of perfume bottles, figurines, music boxes, porcelain, etc.

* Create a large dressing area with your favorite clothing and accessories placed on shelves or hung in open closet spaces to complete the feel of an open wardrobe in theater.

*A vanity with a large mirror and chair are a necessity, for using your makeup and jewelry as accessories in the room.

For a more masculine approach, I would opt out of the vanity and create a space for displaying music, games, books, and other media. Organized cds in tower racks, stereo on a tall side table. Include more leather and contemporary design elements that show a dark mystique.
