In Your Soft Goth Era? Here’s How To Embrace Your Inner Addams Family At Home

The unsurprising colour palette for Addamscore? Black and plenty of it! You don’t need to stick to pitch black only though, but you can interweave around your home darker hues like aubergine, and even a spot of red – think anything you’d likely find worn by an Addams family member. If you’re not yet game to slather your walls in richly coloured paint in a deep shade, stick to dark accessories like bed linens and cushions instead.

If you’re an Addams family enthusiast you’ll know that Morticia is a person who is partial to roses (or at least their thorny stems). If you really want to amp up the presence of the Addams family within, and aren’t quite devoted to your own garden of roses just yet, it’s easy enough to interweave a few rose-themed accoutrements. We’re not talking the spritely roses you’d more often associate with grandmothers of course, but something far more gothic when it comes to florals. Toss some deeply hued roses (red only of course) into an Addamscore-style vase, or immerse your home in the sultry scent of a rose-scented candle or fragrance. Our Maison Balzac Petit Four Cocktail Napkins and Marble Hand incense holder are the ultimate homage to Thing.

Bright lighting is the antithesis of this gothic family who, as you may have guessed, prefer to live their lives among the shadows. Forgo bright lights and instead embrace a moody atmosphere, with dimly lit lamps and thinly shaped candles numbering by the dozen scattered around your abode. Emphasise even further a gothic presence by partnering your candles with a Victorian-esque accent, like an elaborate or gilded candlestick.
