If you’re into alternative fashion, this love for all things dark, whimsical and strange has probably made its way into your decor. Perhaps you have a modern gothic living room or a mystical bedroom setup with plenty of witchy accessories, but what about the kitchen?
As the heart of the home, we spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but it isn’t always a space we can imagine having a gothic-inspired design. Embracing a gothic-themed kitchen can create a uniquely enchanting atmosphere, combining modern functionality with timeless gothic style.
If you want to create a gothic-inspired kitchen but don’t know where to start, this Attitude Clothing guide is full of easy ideas to bring your perfect gothic kitchen to life!

Gothic kitchen colours
A fresh lick of paint is a great place to start when creating a gothic-themed kitchen but decide how intense of a gothic vibe you want to create before cracking open the paint tin. Only paint the kitchen walls for a touch of darkness or cover the walls, cabinets and ceiling for a cohesive, enveloping atmosphere.
Black
The obvious choice for any gothic colour scheme is, of course, black. Simple yet chic, black is a great base colour for your kitchen, allowing you to get creative with accessories and decor. You can choose one accent colour, mix and match or go for an all-black look for an intensely dark decor.
Dark forest green
Another favourite of ours is a dark forest green. Perfect for those wanting a whimsical, witchy kitchen vibe. Surprisingly versatile, this green shade can be accompanied by various accent colours in accessories, utensils and kitchen tools.
Gothic kitchen trends
If decorating with a colour scheme isn’t your vibe, why not use a trend-based approach? Gothic aesthetics have evolved exponentially in recent years, with countless trends and styles to explore and experiment with. From the dark, brooding look of Victorian goth to the lighthearted charm of whimsical goth, there is something for everyone when crafting your dream goth kitchen.
Victorian gothic kitchen
One of the first things to come to mind when we think of classic, traditional alternative style is the Victorian goth aesthetic. This dramatic trend makes for an elegant kitchen. Choose dark wood finishes, deep shades of green, burgundy and purple for the walls and plenty of vintage-style accessories to transport your kitchen back in time.
Pastel goth kitchen
Easily combine dark and light with a pastel goth-inspired kitchen. This playful aesthetic allows plenty of room for experimentation. Using pastel shades like baby pink, lavender and mint green in combination with black, grey and charcoal create a unique look that will keep your kitchen feeling fresh and uniquely yours.
Gothic cottagecore kitchen
Merging the rustic charm of cottagecore with dark, gothic elements creates a unique look that is perfect for the kitchen. Opt for lots of plants and herbs paired with dark colours and wood finishes to create a perfect mix of gothic allure and nature-inspired freshness.
Modern gothic kitchen
For a more minimal, sleek look, a modern gothic kitchen will suit you to a T. Combining dark, gothic elements with clean lines and sophisticated accessories, the modern goth trend keeps it simple in the best way possible. Opt for matte black walls and cabinets, stainless steel fixtures, abstract artwork and sleek accessories for a contemporary kitchen that exudes gothic goodness.
Whimsical goth kitchen
This trend encapsulates the fun, eccentric side of gothic culture. With plenty of quirky accessories and unconventional details, a whimsical goth kitchen is easy to achieve. Choose playful colour combinations and unusual trinkets paired with classic dark gothic features for the ultimate whimsy kitchen that will be the true heart of the home.
