Styling Tips:
- Add Dark Accents: Your bar cart should be the color of midnight—think deep blacks or rich, dark woods. Or drape it with a black lace runner or velvet to add a bit of old-world elegance. And don’t forget your raven. 🐦⬛
- Candles, Candles, Candles: Add a variety of taper candles in shades of black, deep red, and even purple. Stick them in antique-looking candle holders for that perfect gothic touch.
- Decanter Drama: Go for vintage glass decanters filled with your favorite spirits. Bonus points if you can find ones with a hint of cobwebs (real or faux, no judgment here).
- Potion Bottles: Scour your local thrift stores for old bottles, or repurpose some of your own. Fill them with colored water to resemble potions—because every gothic bar needs a dash of magic.
