How to make my room more gothic?

• Okay, so Im goth, and I kind of want my room to look goth, too. Im REALLY limited though. I have a small room, which I share with my little sister, but shes too young to really care how I decorate our room. Eventually, we're going to build onto our house so I can have my own room, but thats not going to be for a long time, so yeah. The walls are white, and Im not allowed to paint them, until I get my own room. Theres also the problem of the furniture. My bed, dresser, and the little bed side table thingy are all dark wood, and the little table thingy and the dresser look pretty antique and "gothic". But my desk and bookshelf are really pale wood, and my chair is white, and they all look somewhat modern. My curtains are these dark purple beaded down to the floor curtains, so when the lights are dim, the whole room looks purple, which I like a lot. But I have like no money to buy new things, so do you have any do it yourself ideas to make my room more gothic? Particularly, how to make little accessories that I can put on my dresser and desk and stuff?

• Answer:

  If you can pull together 10 bucks or so you can go to the dollar store and buy black iron looking candle holder and white candles, skulls (whatever your into) and u could cover the surface of your furniture in a dark cloth as well. The dollar store is already putting things out for halloween, you might find something interesting. That's just a start. ps: don't burn the candles unless you have permission, ok.
