Garnish: 10 ways to channel the modern Gothic Look - The Gothic word has come to mean many things, but when applied to literature, it refers to books that took originated in England in the second half of the 18th century and were popular throughout the 19th century, when Mary Shelley wrote her Gothic classic, Frankenstein and Bram Stoker penned Dracula . These stories have offered readers a pleasant sort of terror and lots of melodrama, too. They feature dark, cursed castles dripping with gargoyles and full of hidden passages. curtains inside, there were sweeping, special ornaments, vast libraries rammed with rich and mysterious tomes, carved furniture.
Of course, today this look seems rather exaggerated and absurd, but do not reject outright. Taking aspects of the gothic - dark colors, rich fabrics and upholstery, unexpected trinkets - and sprinkle on a bit of 21st century wit and irony, you can get a modern gothic look.

black or dark gray walls are a modern staple, but their team with something sinister, ethereal and eye catching to subvert the look and create a modern gothic atmosphere. This beautiful ghostly sheen could have come straight out of the house of Miss Havisham.

Celebrate striking features
this is not a look that is easy to imitate, and few of us can claim to have stained glass in our homes, but at least this beautiful bathroom made most of Gothic ingredients. The window is completed with a huge tub and a romantic luster to watch both striking and a little scary.

subvert white
A clear pattern does not bear immediately gothic connotations, but it can still function when combined with striking features. Here, a large fireplace and a beamed ceiling and tin tiles bring a brooding air masses and providing character. Small details make it possible to inject a little extra modern gothic atmosphere -. The home is full of skeletons and skulls and luster is suitably decadent
