Use a feature wall to set it apart from others walls and set the tone for the room. As an alternative to black, consider deep purple, midnight blue and emerald green. Go for a Victorian style damask or perhaps something more contemporary, like our Lumina Black.

Add a stone effect wallpaper to create a castle-like atmosphere. Perhaps in the alcoves or as a feature wall. This provides lighter, contrasting tones while still adding to the gothic theme. How about our Ledgestone Wall.

Using a large-scale floral on a black background is a great way to create a gothic, moody vibe. Consider painting other walls grey for a balanced look. Pictured is our Antique Floral.
