How A Goth Might Decorate Her Home
You would probably have to be a goth or have a son or a daughter who is a gothic to really know how they would decorate their home or apartment. Nevertheless, you can get a good idea about it just by looking at their clothes.
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.
Their choice of china would definitely be black. They would have ornate silverware, polished to perfection. It may even be an antique silverware set, circa the era when Count Dracula lived in his castle. His dining room would be the inspiration for theirs.
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 bedroom, of course, would be mostly shades of black. The bed, if it wasn't a four poster bed, would possibly be a 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.
When the gothic subculture first appeared, most people thought it was a fad. There seem to be more than ever now, though. They can be seen just about everywhere. They are a tight-knit community and don't mingle with outsiders much. Many people are suspicious of them, just because of their choice of fashion.
Some people think they are making a nihilistic statement. Others think they are aligned with the devil. Nobody knows for sure. Many goths go through the week dressed as 'normal' people and save their gothic gear for the weekends. You may have one working at the desk next to you and not even know it.
The insides of their homes may not look at all like that envisioned here. In fact, most of them probably live with their families in middle class homes. It's anybody's guess. If nothing else, gothics are thought provoking. That alone makes it worth having them as neighbors, even if they never invite you over for dinner.
