Rooms & categories
Where to start, by what you're actually buying.
Curtains & Drapes
The fastest way to change a room, and the easiest thing to get wrong.
Shelves & Storage
Coffin shelves, curio cabinets, and the hardware that keeps them on the wall.
Candles & Lighting
Candelabras, tapers, sconces — and how to use them without incident.
Wall Decor
Mirrors, frames, and gallery walls that read deliberate instead of cluttered.
Bedroom
Velvet, four-posters, and the room the whole aesthetic starts in.
Kitchen
The hardest room to do darkly, because it is the one you actually work in.
Bath
A small, wet, brightly lit room — three things the aesthetic has to work around.
Styles & Aesthetics
The named looks under the gothic umbrella, and what each one actually buys.
