The Gloomy Girl Aesthetic Is the Chic Way to Decorate This Halloween

Bring on the moody vibes.

Hate them or love them, TikTok trends are ubiquitous these days. And while many of them originate as fashion trends, almost all of these aesthetics can be transmuted into design motifs. Just think about: Coastal Grandmother, Cottagecore, and Tomato Girl – all make sense in the world of interior design. And the latest vibe to arrive in the TikToksphere? Gloomy Girl, of course – and just in time for Halloween season.

If you’re not acquainted with Gloomy Girl, it’s best to think of it as a mashup of Wednesday Addams and Virgin Suicides. Slightly melancholic, a bit nostalgic, and extremely moody. While the Gloomy Girl aesthetic has goth tendencies, it’s on the sweeter side. From a noir colour palette to antique artwork, continue below to see how you can decorate your home accordingly this Halloween season (and beyond, should the vibe strike a chord).

1. Switch to noir bedding

The first place to start when Gloomifying your home is the bedroom. While it’s fairly standard to dress your bed in calming colours and pale neutrals, there’s something distinctly cool about a noir duvet cover in Charcoal and matching pillows. To keep it chic, avoid black and go for a softer charcoal hue that will blend in will with its surroundings.

2. Pepper in a few moody candlesticks

Any Gloomy Girl knows that the key to a moody interior design scheme is all to do with the lighting. Enter: signature candles and candlesticks. Look for the latter in black ceramic and top them off with monochrome taper candles for a dramatic finish.

3. Hang an antique portrait

We love how Gloomy Girl vibes and Halloween season go hand in hand, and one of the easiest ways to cement this kind of spooky aesthetic is with an antique portrait placed inside a bold frame. If you’re not sure where to find such a work of art, consider a local thrift store or flea market.

4. Switch to dried or peculiar flowers

For the month of October, swap out your freshly-cut florals for dried flowers to emulate the Gloomy Girl aesthetic. Better yet, head for the flower market and search for peculiar-looking stems that can be assembled in an artful fashion. The more eerie the arrangement, the better.

5. Go for inky throw pillows and blankets

Any design lover knows that subtle accents are key when it comes to nailing an aesthetic, and the same principle applies to Gloomy Girl. For your living space, toss a couple of Charcoal Cushion Covers or a noir blanket on your sofa for an instant vibe overhaul.

6. Bring the drama to your tablescape

The best way to put your Gloomy Girl design aesthetic to the test? With a Halloween dinner party, naturally. Create a dramatic tablescape with a deeply-hued tablecloth – our Olive Tablecloth works perfectly here – and craft a larger-than-life centrepiece to sprinkle small bites and drinks around.

Get the Gloomy Girl look at home.
