Black with gold and green as accent colors. The gold and green color combo always reminds me of poison, especially with snake themed decor. This would work really well for Victorian goths, because green was not only a popular color in the Victorian era, but the dye was made with arsenic and highly toxic.

The good Lady of the Manners (that being Ms. Jillian Venters) lives a life of pink and black and makes that work quite nicely. I believe that so does Toxic Tears and I think that Queenie Black has done some similar things too. I change my colors depending on the space and my mood but one that might surprise people is autumnal colors. At first glance, some might think they can be too bright and cheerful but if you have an amber lamp to light up a living room full of dark items and leaves and moths to accent it, the space can feel like a witch's cottage or a crypt in the fall pretty easily. :)

I used to think there was no way to get Black and Midnight Blue to work together, but I've seen it done well once. The guy who did it did so by painting the entire room Blue, then painting landscapes, trees, and a Victorian manor entirely in black on the bottom half, and finishing of with a whitish-yellow moon silhouetting the house. It'd be a lot of work, but when done well it looks Stunning!

To be honest... my color scheme is much the same as yours! Cool grey walls with black furniture for a refined and modern look, no matter how many skulls accompany it, but in particular I’m looking for the perfect smoked plum accent pillows to give a bit of “pop” in the room gentler than royal purple can offer. Not to mention... “‘minimalist, modern gothic” is also a great code word for “cheap as dirt while still cool looking”

the gothiest home i've ever seen was actually a old "witch"'s home. nothing matched. it was all thrifted and bolted together over the years... but the amount of bones and taxidermy she had in that house was insane. not to mention her obsession with tim burton merch and her daughters (shes a doctor) artworks(which is all spooky anatomy stuff done in exaggerated style). when she went on her matte black spree she spraypainted her furniture black and sanded it lightly to let all the tacky colors and mishmash wood come out all over again in such an amazing way!. last time i was there it was black mostly, but every color under the sun was still present. her crystals, bones, feathers, plants, and old exposed paint made her house look so beautiful and old. its truly a masterpiece.

Have a flair for interior deco myself, being an artist, the colors are so important but it's also difficult to pick a scheme, so fortunately we are gutting and renovating our entire cabin. The main room is a beautiful selection of peacock blue tones, with the black trims, rod iron items, crystals, and lightly sprinkled with purple. My personal room, purples and lilac, black of course. The kitchen even, is gothic and since it's close to LR, the blues and cobalt glass with a homemade gothic apothocary is rockin, and my man's personal main lair is BLACK and RED cause my love, well, he's a vampire ya know . Just saying, I'm so glad I don't have to choose ONE, cause each room is special and they all flow together cohesively. IT'S FUN, IS IT NOT? Just love, love, love your show.

After having my bedroom walls white with pastel mint and pink splotches on it and pink carpeting my whole life, we finally redid it. We ripped up the carpeting and added dark grey faux hardwood. Then we painted the walls olive green with a black ceiling. Even replaced the ceiling fan with a white one. Took out my closet wall and opted for a grey curtain instead (but that was mainly because poor building design). Currently my furniture is brown, but I wanna stain the wood black to match my bedding. All in all it's a very earthy vibe, but hopefully I can give it a more gothic feel in the future. This video specifically has given me more motivation to do so too. Thank you!!!

Black & purple were always my colours of choice. I'd have certain shades of red or a bubblegum pink as subtle highlighting at times, other times using greens. If I look back at my early Gothic/horror influences, the colours were prominent in the Beetlejuice Cartoon, Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, etc. Even the covers of other books, like "Even More Short And Shivery" would use them. I figured that it would have just come from those, but I recently discovered baby/toddler pictures of myself also dressed in the same blacks, purples, & pink hues. As for homemaking, my dream has always been a large coffin bed. (With a lid that could be closed in at least 2 segments.) After finding your channel, I feel inspired to not give up on that dream just yet. Thank you!

I feel like anything that's a deep jewel tone, combined with black, is a great scheme in and of itself- emerald greens and deep blues, especially. I can sort of see the appeal of the Quintessential Goth Colours all combined for others, but I gotta tell you, I cannot abide red and purple in anything I do, personally; the couple of times my hair was purple over the years, I found myself avoiding any clothing or makeup with the remotest touch of red, because I just viscerally hated the way they looked alongside one another, regardless of the shade/hue

For my ninth grade high school art project we had to pick a musical artist and draw an image related to them with their lyrics in it. I chose Voltaire of course and used the song Almost Human using the album cover but with the lyrics rotating around him. It may have been lazy though the album cover and the song did mean a lot to me back then. Forever and always, my favourite artist.

In my younger days, the only color I would pair with all the black was hot pink. Now I'm all about the grey and purple as well!

I think having black + dark/emerald green as your main colors is a great combination, especially if you're going for a "haunted forest" or "evil witch in the woods" kind of aesthetic.

As black as my life is, purple is still my favorite color. I, too, cannot paint my apartment, but I also cant live without color. Dark, deep, rich color that being to mind Victorian aesthetic and the Brothers Grimm. Elagance, I feel, can be found anywhere. Snd that's what I love about the Gothic aesthetic and culture. Each one of brings something unique to the community and it continues to change and grow into something more and more beautiful.

I really like adding pops of color into mine. Here's some color schemes I've seen and played with myself: One - Black, indigo, white, Blues/Purples, & silver as an accent - These colors make a very nice Galaxy Goth theme, and you can make a galaxy print an accent wall; super fun to paint yourself! Two - Black, grey, HOT PINK, & white as an accent - This can work for any goth really, don't be scared of hot pink! Picture an inverted-color skull with hot pink blood coming from it's eyes! Radioactive blood! Three - "Army Green" tinted black & grey, deep cool-brown, and gold as an accent - I feel this one would make a very earthen Goth happy. Decorate with plants, sepia, and bones and MWAH! Four - All black walls and boarder, with pure white furniture and decor. It's the opposite of the all white walls and black decor. It can be very simplistic, with sharp lines and flat surfaces. OR you can Victorian it up with decorate lounging areas and fake white fur rugs. Both ways you could easily add a white stag head mounted to the wall.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I thought keeping that wall red added warmth (the purple adds serenity to me)...okay, whew, you kept some touches of red in the rose and goat head. Very nice!

I love the idea of a burgundy and cream living room with gold accents. Like an old opera house with a phantom living in the rafters.....

- There are even darker black paints: Vantablack, Black 2.0, Black 3.0 (idea for some future project!) - I'm obsessed with optical illusions, puzzle boxes and walls/furniture with secret drawers - My color scheme? I'm a cyberpunk-parrot leaning blue, meets fairy-wannabe on a scarecrow budget XD yet I find goth style really inspiring! - We used to have Smaug caffe in my town, entire top of the bar & ceiling were covered with pour foam insulation and painted black = it looked like a charred dragon's cave :) The foam is light weight, but I guess it needs some structure attached to the walls to hold it (errhm, gravity)

I'm so glad to hear your point of view on using the color white in Gothic decor. I love the all white look. Something about it just gives off an eerie vibe, representing oblivion and nothingness. Plus it just makes your wardrobe look blacker in comparison :p

Me and my husband's apartment is a bit different. Our styles clash, him being more Norse inspired and me loving victorian gothic. So we compromised with a "Queen Ann's Apothecary" theme. Our color scheme is silver and (dark) brown, with midnight blue accents. It sounds crazy, but combining subtle Norse designs, dried flora, spell bottles, and elegant queen Ann furniture makes for a great combo. The blue helps tie in a wintery vibe along with the silver, and the dark brown brings everything together with earthy elegant touches.

I'm a bit more punk thank true goth (unfortunately even less of that these days due to my physical health limitations, five mins getting dressed and I want to sleep) and my boyfriend is a geeky metal head and our house is a Mish mash of everything we love. We're moving next year and hoping to give each room a theme to sate our own appetites. I know a lot of goths have looked down at me (I know elitism unfortunately exists in the community) but the fact that you said about it doesn't matter what colour as long as you like it really made me smile for some reason and made me feel like my hovel is mine, so thank you

I'll miss the red wall, but that super black looks pretty good! Also a fan of black, purple, and a minty/aquamarine-ish green accent.

White in gothic clothes, lairs, etc seem to be on the rise lately and some of the stuff I've seen are pretty awesome! I've always had a bit of a thing for the black and white mix for me and my husband's room. Nowhere near done yet. Still gotta either repaint or replace my husband's desk, our dresser, and reupholster our ottoman. Not to mention build a nick-knack shelf for our game memorabilia and books so they're not scattered. also, I've noticed a certain roomie decided to hide until after all that hard work you did was done...>.>

My place it black and white with pale pink, deep blue and dark deep reds. Down to the point of picking a betta fish that has reds and blues and a black beard although green is also becoming more prominent with our love of aquascaping and carnivorous plants

I personally love green and black. Light mint green up to deep greens. But I'm also obsessed with fall colours. I havent been able to make myself my own lair yet but when I do I think it will be a lot like yours with green as the accent colour. And a bit of those Autumn colours sprinkled about.

Black, grey, green and just a little bit of red is the color scheme of my living room. The rest of my apartment shows grey, black and a lot of natural wood colors because I'm more comfortable with a rustic style rather than royalty, and also that's easier to achieve when money is really really tight.
