Gothic spaces have long been misunderstood. Black, Halloween-esque, gargoyles and severe furniture often comes to mind. On the contrary, Gothic is luxurious, edgy, big and bold...and often full of color!  

This year, we will see a return of large, statement fixtures like wrought-iron chandeliers, candelabras and bronze plumbing fixtures. Large, tall windows that allow plenty of light are making a resurgence. Yes, black accents and woodwork will be seen as well, as will other jewel tones and bold wallcoverings.

This trend isn’t all about black, but the color can be featured heavily throughout the home. Go beyond basic with chic black lighting, hardware and fixtures. Mix in jewel tones to break up the space and warm it up. Statement pieces, like a freestanding black tub, add the perfect amount of glamorous drama to the bathroom.

Textured pieces bring intrigue and sensory appeal to a Gothic Glam space. Rain showerheads extend this experience, offering indulgent relaxation. Go for contrast on cabinets or keep it all matte black – either way, the home will be imbued with bold, luxurious pieces.

Unique shapes abound in Gothic Glam rooms, from geometric light fixtures to architectural tubs. Balance clean lines with smooth curves to make a feast for the eyes to enjoy. Vanities, drawer pulls and faucets can all bring these elements to life.

Be sure to incorporate color into your Gothic Glam design! Choose vibrant, modern lighting or décor pieces with pops of bold hues to brighten up any room. Bright, shiny metal accents like knobs and handles also add vibrancy and energy to the space. 

No matter how you choose to incorporate it, this look is sure to be stunning. Your combination of colors, textures, finishes and décor will culminate in a grandiose and unforgettable Gothic Glam space.
