Just wait for stores to put out Halloween merch. You can usually find some nice candelabras, pillows, sculptures, etc. to put around the house.

surely every goth knows this

HOWEVER, it could be nice to share what we find at specific stores. Michael's has some great, hefty skulls out, and i think some cauldrons as well. Joann Fabrics has some Halloween out, and their Buttercream Cosette decor is discounted (last i checked at the one near me); together they can make some cool lolita or ouji decor.

pic related is from their Cosette collection, which is usually located right next to their seasonal decor. the Cosette stuff feels closer to classic but some of it can definitely fit a gothic aesthetic.

An alternative to that is a chandelier by James Wiens.

RyuRyu always got some suitable goods in their "Love Romantic" interior section but it depends a lot on the season.

I also like some of the Anna Sui inspired goods that you can find like everywhere.

What youtubers or blogger do you like? Black friday is fun. Gothic charm school is always classic.

Finally! A thread for my spooky self!

Reposted from a room thread a while back. Dis is mah bed! Ouija pillows are from Mysticum Luna, throw pillows and duvet cover are from society six, canopy is from ebay, and the ghost lights I got from Wal Mart during a Halloween sale.

>>9119377
I went to Joann's over the weekend and saw a few things I'm going to try and snag the day after Halloween. I really like their black feather door wreaths, and I feel like with a little customization, it has a lot of potential.

>>9120270
I like both of those! Toxictears is another favorite of mine. I need to get on Youtube more, I haven't recently.

i had a huge vintage mirror that i left behind after moving with it once before. i was moving to a smaller room and could not hang it in public spaces so i let my former roommates keep it. it was also heavy as fuck.

i got a smaller vintage shelf (table- or desktop type) which ended up cracking into pieces during transport. i am not settled enough to get vintage items, it seems! not if i move about 1x a year.

>>9125589
Never bought any antiques and the stuff we have from family is in great condition so I wouldn't dream of touching it. However, I would say that it is a bitch to move - my family moved house 3 times with antique furniture from my grandmother and great-grandmother in tow including a full dining table set, small side tables, carved drinks cabinet, multiple camphor chests etc and even though it's solid, heavy duty stuff it still requires care to move because of the finish and detailing. So my advice would be unless you have your own house, stick to the smaller items of furniture or antique-inspired stuff.

I actually got 2 of the little skull dudes so I could paint one and my boyfriend could paint the other (quite gay, I know) and I'm totally gonna go back and pick up more of the little apothecary jars.

My wardrobe is a piece from the 1800s that I got in an estate sale. It was rather damaged from soot and general age so I had to treat the wood, fill, and sand the whole thing.

As much as I would have loved to stain it, I ended up painting it for uniformity's sake.

I can't find stuff that is cheap and also good, but there's plenty of luxe boudoir-ish stuff out that would suit a gothic aesthetic in a higher price bracket. You may as well go to hot topic and just buy an oversized gawth t shirt to wear, or get a skeleton kigu from taobao/ali/ebay

I have a chandelier in an attic bedroom. Unless you are 6ft tall AND your max room height is 6'2" you should be able to get away with a modestly sized chandelier, just shorten the chandelier chain so it doesn't dangle too much and get one with short crystal drops (whatever they're called, the bits that dangle). If you still have trouble, consider removing the lowest hanging crystals as well.

I was worried about height problems too anon but life's too short, don't let your dreams be dreams, get a baby-chandelier and shorten the chain. Low ceilings makes them easy to dust/clean and change bulbs too, high ceilings are overrated.

Pic related, if you get rid of most of the chain length you almost halve the height required.

>>9137893
Brush your dog as much as you can to get all the loose hairs. You're just gonna have to be on top of maintenance as well, in addition to the other anon. When you notice a buildup of fur lint roll it ASAP, lint roll after your dog gets up on your bed, etc. But also try to choose fabrics for your canopy and bed that won't attract fur as much.

Thanks for posting this! I love growing black plants as well. Black hollyhocks are especially impressive.
Alternatively for vampires: an interesting garden is a moon garden. I know I don't really enjoy going out in the day, so a garden that blooms at night is really fun. You can just sit out there and read with proper lighting and enjoy the quiet.

GCS is a goddamn sweetie, I ran into her once just on the sidewalk somewhere and she's so nice.

>>9126786
I like the stark black/white thing but i feel like the black fabrics should be varied. Different textures and weights. This looks like its all just black cotton broadcloth and it looks too flat. If the bedcurtains were a lighter weight and the duvet had a velvety or suede texture it would help.

>>9126783

Did someone say gothic loungewear?
https://www.wunderwelt.jp/products/w-15522
Wunderwelt has this in both black and white depending on whether you want to blend into the decor or float around pretending to be the white lady...

Love this thread. I'm a trans man who's pre-everything and I'm looking at my wardrobe of goth stuff and trying to figure out what I can keep and what's too feminine for the look I want. I love Lip Service but most of their men's clothes isn't very good. I really need good loungewear and a velvet coat I think.
