How A Goth Might Decorate Her Home
‘It takes one to know one, ‘ they say. That’s got to be true of goths. If you don’t live the lifestyle or have one living in your home, you can only guess at how they decorate their homes. Gothic fashion gives you a decent idea, though.
Gothics love black. They wear black from head to toe and accent it with silver jewelry and the odd dab of blood red here and there. From that you can conclude that black is the color of choice in their living quarters as well. Surely the well-heeled goth would buy a gloss black dining room set and set a large silver or nickel-plated candelabra in the center of the table.
Naturally, their china set would also be black. Their silverware would be heavy silver and very ornate. They may even have antique silver. Just think about a old movie about Dracula and what the dining room in his castle was like and you get the idea.
We’re talking about a very wealthy goth here, so it’s safe to say that the furniture in their living room would all be of only the best quality. They might even have a custom made coffee table that has been designed to a gothic theme by an expert metal worker. Their couches would be made of the finest materials and of course they would be black. The TV would be a flat screen, since there are not many Victorian era televisions on the market.
The same color scheme, if that’s what you call it, would apply in the bedroom. If they didn’t have a black four poster bed, it would probably be a black full size loft bed.
Does a loft bed seem like an odd choice? If so, think about this: bats hang from ceilings. People can’t hang from the ceiling, but they can sleep on an elevated bed near the ceiling. While it’s not quite as good as changing into a bat, it’s a step in the right direction.
The gothic subculture is a fascinating one. When it first burst on the scene, nobody thought it would last, but it has. There are gothics in virtually every major city in the world. They don’t mingle with outsiders much, so they are little understood and many people even fear them.
The rumors about them abound. Some say they are part of a satanic cult. Others say they are nihilists. Believe it or not, you may have one working with you in your office. Many goths save their gothic styles for the weekends and wear regular clothes throughout the week.
For all we know, the insides of their homes may be quite ordinary. As a matter of fact, the majority of them probably still live with their parents. Whatever the truth about goths is, you’ve got to admit that they are interesting. They give everybody on the block something to talk about, so in that sense they’re great neighbors, even if you never get to know them.
