1. Dark Elements
There’s something heartbreakingly beautiful about this butterfly in a shadow box. Its fragile elegance is locked in time forever, but it’s
as lovely as when its wings were flapping across the garden. This wall hanging
is poetically sad, capturing the dark exquisiteness of whimsigoth.
2. Celestial Stars
Suns, moons and stars are all welcome in whimsigoth décor,
which incorporates the heavens well into the aesthetic. Low lighting also adds
to the vibe, making this paper lantern an on-point addition.
3. Purple Palette
Rich purple is both colorful and dark, playing well with the
rest of the whimsigoth color palette. Better yet, layer several rugs together
for a cozy vintage look. Start with this purple area rug.
4. Twinkling Lights
Woodsy whimsy is a key element of whimsigoth. This twinkling branch lamp evokes stars peeking through the trees at twilight.
5. Jewel Tones
Starting with dark colors is important to whimsigoth, but adding
rich colors, including jewel tones, like the ones found in this pillow, add a
much-needed pop of deep color. Extra credit for the luxe velvet fabric.
6. Fairytale Elements
Picture a princess lost in the woods, among fairies,
gnomes and the like. They come across this wooden mirror with twisty vines hanging from the side of a tree and ponder, “Who is the fairest of them all,
after all?”
7. Animal Accents
Are these bronzy animal heads the spoils of the huntsman or
a spell gone wrong in the witch’s cottage? Hanging on the wall, they add
mystical, natural spookiness with a humorous twist and a metallic touch to add
contrast to the darkness.
8. Glass Glitz
Add textures to the mix, like crystals or stained glass, seen
in this geometric floor lamp. The pattern on the lamp also gives a bohemian
flair.
9. Forest Features
A real stained glass window may not be in your budget, but
this window cling gives the illusion of one. Are the woods right outside,
creeping in or is this a portal to a fantastic dimension?
10. Black and Bright
This candle is sexy, dark and a little zesty, which is
the perfect scent profile for whimsigoth. Ginger, bergamot and spiced yuzu add
a perfect blend of brightness with a dark base.
