October is the one month where the bedroom can get away with a little drama. Think inky walls, velvet bedding, and flickering candlelight. Black bedrooms take center stage this holiday—not just spooky, but sumptuously gothic. Picture wrought-iron bed frames dressed in midnight sheets, moody florals climbing the walls, and chandeliers dripping with crystal like a haunted ballroom. My bedroom imagination runs wild…I can either spook the heck out of myself or ground myself into the humor of it all, by thinking more cheeky-Rocky-
Horror than murdery-Mike-Myers.

Gothic bedrooms celebrate shadows, mystery and find the beauty in the darkness. Some rooms lean full Dracula—rich, romantic, and unapologetically theatrical, while others play with a softer edge: modern black walls, pale linen, and a single pumpkin perched on the nightstand. Whether you’re going for elegant goth or playful Halloween chic, this weekend is all about creating a space that feels a little enchanted.

Here are some of our noir favorites inspired by the holiday that you can enjoy in your abode all year long.

Happy Boos and Snooze…
