How to Decorate with a Goth Theme Part 6: The Bathroom

The last part of this series is on how to decorate with a Goth theme in your bathroom. As you have seen, Gothic decorating is all about your personal take on what it means to you. It is no different in this room as in any others in your home. First you consider the basic foundation of the room and then you choose the accessories to complete it.

How To Decorate With A Gothic theme In Your Bathroom- The Basics
Decorating with a Gothic theme in the room that you do your most private business should be a private decision. As in other areas of your home, it's all about the mood that you want to create. Do you want it elegant and relaxing? Or do you want it to be a fun eyeopener that you can go into every morning? It's all up to you.

Starting with the basics means considering things like your toilet and sink. Do you want a black set or just want to go with the standard white? Either way, make sure to have a matching set. Nothing stands out worse than a white toilet with an tan ivory sink. If you cannot invest in a new one at the moment, search the Internet for refinishing ideas for the time being. Even if it doesn't wear well, it will give you the extra time to save up to replace it.

With metal elements, such as faucets, you can be a little less picky. If you find a bronze faucet for your sink that you just love, you can always hide the old chrome one in the shower behind the curtain. But don't mix a silver light fixture in as well. Different metal elements are hard enough to mix in a larger space successfully, let alone in an enclosed space.

Next, you must decide on color. Are you sticking to a black and white theme? Or would you rather have a punch of color? Is so, choose one accent to place around the room to keep things elegant. Even if you are going for a fun room, one major accent color is still best in a smaller space like this.
