Spooky season might have you thinking gothic decor consists only of skeletons, ravens, and things that go bump in the night, but the aesthetic goes beyond the month of Halloween. In fact, the dark and moody decor can create a surprisingly romantic setting, often borrowing inspiration from the Victorian era — and painting those references all black.
