Item suggestions for a gothic themed house?

[DaftPunk]

Hiya!

While I am not at all new to Animal Crossing as a whole, I am new to NH! I really want to do a goth theme with my house but am not sure what items to start with or the items available in this particular game. This would probably at least include a living room, a library/study and a bedroom! Taking any and all suggestions for inspiration! <3 Thank you so much!

Here's some different pictures of how I designed the room. I didn't have many gothic or dark things in my storage.. I also didn't have a good wallpaper so I just used "Concrete wall" lol. Anyways, hope this helps!<3

A Rattan table lamp
Table lamp - skull pattern
Candle
Decorative pillar

Jack's face (The item looks like it's under the table, but it's hanging on the wall under the table. I thought it was a cool trick :3)
Digital alarm clock - Black
Professional headphones - Black
Skeleton hood
Cool side table

aww thank you so much!! you're very welcome, i know acnh can get overwhelming because it has so many items! my tip is to just go through the list of all available items again and again to familiarize yourself, and if you click on the item you can see the different color options and patterns from that site! sometimes i think an item might not work but then i see a variation that actually does work!

here are the items, i started at the entrance and went clockwise:
classic-library wall
red art-deco wall as the accent wall
rosewood flooring
elegant black rug
black candle x 2
black antique mini table x 2
black/ damascus pattern red elegant sofa
cool globe
(western literature) book
black/ damascus pattern red elegant console table
black rose
black vintage stool
black wall mounted candle x 2
spider web
silver vintage dresser (it reminds me of a library card catalog cabinet)
dark green strapped books
black book stands
black wooden stool
(literature) stack of books
black iron doorplate
black/ old portrait fancy frame
black hourglass
letter essay set
(red wood) den desk
black/ damascus pattern red elegant chair

moving from our dms to show off the bathroom as it currently stands!

i'm unsure about the beautiful statue and I'm pondering how to fill the walls, I might get some art or just some more of those ivy's.

one thing that's bugging me sliiightly is the fact you can't turn the tap off on the square tub but it fills the space sooo nicely.
