Creepy Skull Themed Bedroom Decor Ideas for Girls

Alchemy Gothic No Evil Comforter Set Cover Set
Veratex Rainbow Skulls Comforter Set
Looking to decorate a skull themed bedroom for a girl? Whether you're looking for straight goth or girly pastels, there are plenty of bedroom accessories out there that will help you get the perfect look. I've collected all of my favorites into one place to help you out. Let's get started!

First thing you are going to need is some skull decorated bedding to form the bones of the theme. You can find all of my favorite skull themed bedding ideas here, but to get you started, here are a couple of great ones.

Love Cushion Covers 
For hardcore gothic, you can't go wrong with the stunning Alchemy Gothic 'No Evil' comforter set featured above. Each set of this creepy bedding come with the duvet cover and two matching pillow cases. If, alternatively, you are looking for something a little more feminine, the Veratex Rainbow skulls set on the right is absolutely perfect. This collection includes the comforter, a fitted sheet, a pillow case and the matching pink bedskirt.

If you want an awesome budget idea, you can do away with a full skull themed bedding set and instead pair beautiful decorative pillows like the one on the left with a funky skull themed blanket throw. Add them to your existing sheets and you have a wonderful look for half the price!

Here's a mistake that many people going for a gothic theme make - don't paint your walls black! It will leave your room looking dark and small, in a way that is really more depressing than you would think. Trust me, I've made that mistake myself in the past. Instead, choose deep purples, blues, medium grays, and make sure the room is capable of being very well lit. I've featured some cool skull themed lamps below, so be sure to take a look at those.

Whether or not you are painting the walls, you'll need some fun pictures to decorate the blank spaces with. Skull themed posters and decals are very common: I've featured two of my favorites on the right and above. They come in all styles imaginable. It's not just posters and stickers either, you can get hanging wall tapestries, gorgeous canvas art, and faux animal skull trophies. Pick your favorites and go wild with it!

A lot of people neglect lighting when it comes to decorating themed bedrooms, even though it can add a really unique flair to a room. Skull themed lighting is more common than you would think, and every piece is a really original design. The wire frame skull lamp above is a great spooky lamp, for example. Alternatively, if you are going for the more 'day of the dead' style of skull bedroom, this Thai style wooden framed paper lamp would look perfect!

Skull themed candle and tea-light holders are another wonderful choice for the theme, it gives the room a real dungeon feel. If you like candles but don't want to take the risk with real flames, you should take a look at these stunning and kooky skeleton themed flameless LED candles.

Last, but not least, finish off the room with some personal, unique touches. For this you will need skull themed accessories, little ornaments and the like that just scream 'you'. This skull themed clock is very cool, for example, and for girls who need space to store their jewellery, these trinket boxes would be amazing. There is also a lot of skull figurines and ornaments, such as the one above which is part of a large range of incredible decorated skulls. I also love the Day of the Dead Lovers figurine range.

Bone Collector Rod Pockets
Curtains and rugs are a must-have for those with bare windows and floors. I'm in love with the stunning dragon and skull themed antique style rug on the right, and for those of you with a taste for the macabre, the 'game hunter' style curtains on the left are also a good pick.

So there you have it! Those are all of my favorite accessories for decorating a skull themed bedroom. I hope you found some amazing ideas and have a ton of fun with your new look.

Top Ten Gothic Bedding Sets for Girls

Red & Black Floral Ruffle Bedding
If you are decorating a Gothic style bedroom, the first thing you will need is some bold and dark bedding to form the centerpiece of it all. This post is going to be looking at all of my personal favorite goth style bedding, so read on a hopefully discover one that is perfect for your bedroom.

Catherine Flocking Black and
Red Comforter Set
First of all, you need to think about the color scheme for your bedroom, and pick bedding to match. One of the best color combos in a goth bedroom is black and red, which makes the deep red and black ruffle style bedding above a very good place to start. Each set of this bedding comes with everything you need: the comforter, a bed skirt, two pillow shams, and three decorative pillows. You can also get it in jet black.

Black Burgundy Red Flock
Satin Comforter Set
I also recommend the Catherine Flocking bedding featured on the right: it combines a gothic color scheme with some beautiful and elegant Victorian style patterns. Each set comes with a comforter, two pillow shams, a bedskirt, and three decorative cushions. You can get matching curtains that go with it too.

Last of all for red bedding, a shimmering velvet look works very well in Gothic bedrooms, which is why I think the red bedding on the left is a good choice you might want to consider. This set comes with all the stuff the other two do!

Alchemy Gothic Never More Bedding
Most goths are probably aware of Alchemy Gothic, but a lot of them don't realize that they make bedding too! It's really artistic and beautiful bedding too: I've featured my three favorites above and below, but be sure to check out their entire range. Each bedding set comes with everything you see in the picture: a duvet cover and two matching pillow cases.

Alchemy Gothic Abandon No
Hope Duvet Cover Set













Purple Flocking Bedding
Another color scheme that looks great in a goth style bedroom is a combination of demure purple and bold black. For example, take a look at the gorgeous purple and black bedding above, which combines a patchwork texture with Victorian flocking to create a truly wonderful look. Each set of this bedding comes with a comforter, two pillow shams, a bed skirt, a bolster, a neck roll and a decorative square pillow to match.

Nanshing Harmonee 7-Piece
Jacquard Comforter Set
If you are a more feminine goth and want something that is Gothic as well as elegant, I would recommend trying the floral patterned, silky textured purple bedding on the right. Each set includes a comforter, two pillow shams, a bedskirt, and three decorative pillows. Combine it with some silk look black sheets and you will have a gorgeous look. 

Emerson 4-Piece Pinch Pleat
Puckering Comforter Mini Set
If you are having difficulty choosing a color scheme, you can't go wrong with some plain black bedding. I particularly like the puckering style black bedding on the left. Each set comes with a comforter, a dust ruffle and two matching pillow cases.

Last but not least, a cool and bold pattern like skulls would make a fantastic centerpiece for a gothic bedroom. If that sounds like your style, check out the Street Revival Flower skull bedding below,which comes with the comforter, two matching pillow shams and a dust ruffle.

So there you have it, my top ten favorite bedding sets for a Gothic bedroom. I hope you liked them as much as I do and found one that is right for you.

Gothic Bedroom Decor Ideas

7Pcs Queen Catherine Flocking Black and Red Comforter Set
To celebrate Halloween, this post will be looking at how to decorate a Gothic style bedroom. The Goth look is incredibly popular among teens and adults alike, with its dark and bold contrasting colors and elaborate and beautiful ornamental style. There's lots of great decor to choose from and tips to be given, so lets get started...

Gothic Beds and Bedding

Gothic Night Canopy Bed-Queen
First up, you'll want the perfect Gothic bed to form the centerpiece of your room. If you really want to go all out, begin with a stylized Gothic cast iron bed frame like the one on the right, or a darkly colored wooden frame like this one for a more ancient and antique look. 

Once you have that, you'll want some bedding. Deep purples look great in a Gothic style room as well, such as this gorgeous bedding collection here. If you want patterned bedding, why not check out some skull themed bedding like this one?

Gothic Pillows and Cushions

Pillows and cushions are a quick and easy way to decorate a bedroom, and there's quite a few beautiful Gothic pillows for you to choose from. The one above is my favorite, featuring a gorgeous piece of Gothic angel art. Its part of a collection of angel art pillows, and they are all amazing, so why not pick up more than one? Plain black pillows also work well with Gothic color schemes, as well as lace decorated pillows and cushions. Toss them on your bed or on your sofa for an simple but effective Goth look.

Gothic Curtains

2pcs 59x98 Inch Sexy Black Vintage French Lace Window Curtain
Here's a classic decorating idea for a Gothic bedroom is a set of beautiful lace curtains, like the set above. Black is always a good choice as it'll match up with all of your other Gothic decor. For more of a vamp look, try deep colored satin or velvet curtains, such as this dark red curtain set or this velvet black number.

The Vampire Bats of Castle Barbarosa
Wall Sculpture

Gothic Wall Art and Decorations

Next up, you'll need to decorate your walls. Now, surprisingly, I wouldn't actually recommend painting your walls black - it'll make your room look ten times smaller than it is and it'll get claustrophobic. Instead, opt for deep reds, blues and purples, or a light green or grey combined with lots of black decor. There are lots of Gothic posters and wall art to choose from too. My favorites are the ones with gothic fairies and angels. Wall sculptures are a cool option too - check out the awesome bats on the right.

Gothic Furniture

Gothic Victorian End Table
If you aren't on a budget then a sweet option for decorating your bedroom is with some Gothic and Victorian style furniture like this crucifix decorated grey end table (you can pick up a gothic chest of drawers here). If you are on a budget but still want some cool furniture, a cheaper option is to check out charity shops, as antiques and old furniture works well even if it isn't official 'Gothic' merchandise. Go for grey colors and dark woods with lots of metal adornments for the best look.

An essential piece of furniture for a Gothic bedroom are metal candle stands, complete with white or black candles. If you don't want candles due to fire risks, then check out these LED lit fake candles, which look pretty realistic and make a fantastic alternative.

So that's my guide to decorating a Gothic style bedroom for teens and adults. If you like this post and want to see more, check out the rest of this blog for more bedroom decorating ideas for all ages, styles and genders. Happy decorating!
