Incorporating elements from fantasy literature, movies, and art into your home decor can be a rewarding experience. By exploring beloved stories like “Harry Potter”, “The Lord of the Rings”, or “Alice in Wonderland”, you can create a magical atmosphere in your home. Bedding is another essential item that can transform your home into a place where dreams come true.
Incorporating fairy lights, figurines, accessories, and wall art can create a magical fairy realm in your own home. Choose from various styles, colors, and materials to create whimsy and enchanting spaces. For example, you can paint your front door in bold, inviting colors and explore 26 mystical decorating ideas to transform your living space with magic and wonder.
It’s also important to consider incorporating elements like fairy lights, tapestries with magical designs, and whimsical decor items to create a fantasy vibe in your room. Choose a color scheme inspired by fantasy worlds, such as deep blues, rich purples, and mystical greens.
Fantasy decor can be achieved by changing a room with styrofoam into a fantasy room, using fabric for accent lighting, and adding scented candles for the atmosphere. Additionally, consider using faux animal skin rugs and realistic faux fur blankets to add a touch of magic to your home decor.
In conclusion, finding inspiration for fantasy home decor can be achieved through exploring beloved stories, incorporating elements from fantastical worlds, and creating an inviting entrance to your home. By following these tips and ideas, you can elevate your home decor to a whole new realm and create a magical, medieval, and (occasionally) steampunk-inspired atmosphere.
📹 How to give your home: Witchy Cottage vibes 🔮🐈⬛ ~ Interior Design Styles
The video focuses on all types of witches such as: the cottage witch, kitchen witch etc, so that there is overall witchy home decor …
📹 My Nerdy Fantasy House Tour January 2022
Since people enjoyed my first tour so much, I figured I’d make another one of these to show some updates! This is a longer tour …
My witchy cottage is witchy year round. It’s dark and cozy with lots of wood as in log walls, floors, beams and handmade furniture. I have a gallery wall of full moon and witch art. I have my herb apothecary in the kitchen. I have stopped worrying about people’s opinions and keep a cozy witch cottage in every season.
As a witch, I can vouch for the authentic information in this interesting article. I live in Vermont and had a witch window in my childhood bedroom and there’s still many old homes around these parts that have their window still intact. My old house is full of dark floors, vintage alchemy artwork, plants, deep-toned walls, apothecary cabinets, hanging herbs, books in every room, not just witchy though and antique carved furniture, so you nailed that aesthetic. Great article!
I was surprised by this article…. I honestly didn’t think she would be offering REAL decor ideas and not just kitschy over-the-top Hallowe’en decorations. This was well done and I truly enjoyed each and every suggestion. If I ever had the chance to live in a little cottage in the UK, I am quite certain that I would be referring back to this article for suggestions.

Lived in New England for 66 years and never heard of a witch window so that was interesting. I’m not a witch but I love all things natural and of Nature. And as an antiques dealer I suggest that witches on a budget visit yard and estate sales and the thrift shop for all kinds of great old stuff. In the US, people often put things in front of their houses they want to get rid of for free, like old trunks and such, and they drop off unwanted things at the recycling centers and landfills. Very nice article, enjoyed perusal it.
You’ve pretty much described my home on the inside. The outside architecture you described is a bit beyond my means. I don’t live in a three story Victorian gingerbread with a turret lol. But I’ve made my little cottage reflect my witchy/pagan/native tastes and I love it. Thank you for an excellent article❤️🤗🐝
How fortuitous. Right at the exact time that I’m a) looking into the craft because the recipes are useful and I like believing in myself and my own power to make things happen and b) I’ve recently said to heck with it and I’m just going to decorate for ME, instead of what the world wants or expects of me, and c) I’ve just gutted a room with the intention of doing a dark academia/whimsy goth room because life is too short to not be myself. Yay for the YouTube algorithm, working perfectly 😂. Edit: holy shnit there’s my half William Morris wallpaper (although it’s the Pimpernel pattern instead) and half wood paneled walls that I installed in my living room a year and a half ago! Yay for rockin’ the witchy vibe without even knowing it!
Having a Victorian home now and once owned a 2 story 1700’s colonial home, I always loved bringing in nature to tie in the rustic look or witchy look in my colonial home. Now with a Victorian, I love adding unique items like cauldrons, old books and on Halloween, I have many brooms of all styles that I mounted on an old wooden sign. It adds a bit of magic to the porch. The house on Practical magic I would say is a true favorite of mine, the large kitchen, the glassed in garden, and all that went along with decorating that house. Your article was a great reminder of other items to capture and bring in for the “witch’ that resides within.
I’m an eclectic forest earth pagan witch and I live in a truly enchanted tiny witches cottage in the forest that was built in 1897. My decor is a combination of dark academia/witchy/forest with a cathedral ceiling. My colour palette is dark shades of red, green,brown and black. My fabrics are on the heavy side with tapestries and velvet. All my furniture and decor items are either antique, thrifted, gifted and found in the forest. I have branches from the forest hinged to the walls laden with faux ivy along with real ivy in vases and bottles. Lots of witchy books and herbs hanging from my herb rack. Lots of black wrought iron candelabras, black or antiqued single candle holders everywhere too. I love my tiny forest cottage and my slow witchy lifestyle 💚 ooo not to forget cauldrons too of course 🖤Also I forgot I have a fireplace too 🧡
Since witches are strong and independent (or outcasts), they probably would have a lot of tools hanging from the walls, or stored otherwise. That’s definitely something you could play with. Also, if I was making a witch hut, I’d make sure that it would be fully functional in the sense that in case of a power outage, you could live there… Drink some hot tea and maybe listen to an old gramophone… (I can’t stand the idea of how dependent we have become on our grid and how fragile it actually is) As a side note: since you showed us dried herbs and glasses (potentially with other cooking ingredients): I would definitely add a mortar and pistil. I actually use one for cooking. Some spices you don’t get ground and even more taste better when freshly prepared…
So many wonderful ideas presented in this article w/none of them being cheesy. If anyone is interested in learning more about this aesthetic, Christine McConnell has a YT website in which she makes/refurbishes items in her home she finds at 2nd hand stores, garage sales, etc. Several of her articles are behind a paywall, but you can still watch many for free. She is an amazing artist & settles for nothing but perfection. She brings a high level of artistry & sophistication to this “witchy” style. Also, her article presentations are very whimsical so they’re entertaining to watch. Cheers!
I must say I have really enjoyed this article on many levels. Your suggestions are very tasteful and practical which gives many choices, although I dearly wish I could own or at least live in one of those beautiful cottages! Here, in Los Angeles county we have the style of cottage that IS called a “witch” most likely because the black roof with its rounded eaves suggests a witch’s hat. You would not believe how much those cottages sell for—-it’s obscene. Possibly because they were built during the heyday of Hollywood—along with the turret houses. May I also compliment you on the beautiful ensemble you put together: a fall color sweater, which goes with your copper hair—very complimentary. Some witches who make articles actually look like they should be riding a broom—that is, they look good at a distance. Thanks very much for making this article—I’m going to watch it again!
I had a friend over and was showing her my apotheca and she squealed ” This room is the whole witchy vibe” I spend the majority of my time gathering wild medicinals and handcrafting medicine, salves, bath products,teas, and smoke. I get called a witch all the time….but the neighborhood children call me ” Mother Nature ” …..I’m not mad about it.
the thing I don’t like about witch house decorating is that the stuffs that we don’t use inside the house will very distracting because we don’t use them and we only put them there only for decoration the house like witch………….it will be big waste of space because sometime we need space for something else
You might not like all of them, but the Lair of Voltaire contains some decor that might work; it’s the apartment of musician Aurelio Voltaire, who has a series on his website called Gothic Homemaking which tells you all about how he made it. Sometimes a bit OTT, but he prefers a general style of “a vampire lives here”, rather than “someone obsessed with vampires and/or Halloween decorations lives here”. Also, the kind of house I usually think of is more like a Queensland miners cottage, raised on short stumps; carpeted central living room, front verandah boxed in with louvres instead of solid walls, improvised conservatory that probably used to be something else haphazardly stuck on the back, tongue-and-groove walls, planked floors, exposed framing inside, and still with the blister for the stove poking out of the kitchen wall…
🧚♀️My little house has a very formal Victorian parlor with antique wood furniture, crystal chandelier, dusty rose velvet curtains with pom-poms, the outer curtains are dark green with roses and flowers. Kitchen is very primitive. Oak pressed chairs, oak table, lots of cast irons, big jars with beans, flour, molasses, etc. Pink checkers on curtains. Antique china with pink roses and pink check placemats. 2 rooms totally different vibes.
I am VERY late to this conversation but I live in Vermont and we have witch windows! We are raising our ridge line this summer and they will soon be gone. And now I’m kinda sad about losing something I didn’t realize was such a local phenomenon 😭. I will have to find a way to incorporate one on the new back room somehow.
What would a “Warlock” cottage be? The “magi”, dynamics, energy and overall culture is very different, with touches of similarities. In my “Warlock” home there are no references to “deity’s”. No need: the way of the Warlock in its entirety has no use for deity’s. Our total focus, energies and purpose is completely and unquestionably nature based. Simple, elegant and beautiful.
Thank you for such a wonderfully thought out presentation. I’m a baby witch and also have always loved this aesthetic. Just on a funny note, a commercial for Hobby Lobby came on. Its a local crafts and decor store that is run by Christian fundamentalists that dont EVER carry halloween items. I did a spit take of my salad when i saw the perfectly timed commercial! Much love from Oklahoma US!
Just found this article! Tomorrow is Lughnasadh Eve. Living in Pennsylvania USA. Brick house with black accents. Wanted ivy growing up the side as I’ve always loved cottages with that. Be careful what you wish for— I got poison ivy growing up the walls! Definitely a witchy vibe in this house! Blessings to you.
Thank you so much for this amazing article. I absolutely loved it. I’m dreaming of Halloween cold, crisp winter evenings in England with the chimneys, smoking in the glow of pumpkins, turnips…. wouldn’t it be heaven so just open the gate walk up the path open the front door to a witches cottage and take a cup of tea in front of a wood burning fire!
Love all of these ideas for a Witch’s Cottage (for some reason the Y makes my eyes twitch LOL), would swap out the grey for BLACK …Bat Black, Cauldron Black, Midnight Black etc…just can not bring myself to use grey for some reason …hello from New Zealand and Blessed Be to those SiSTARS commenting xx PS . As a Witch living in a wee wooden Cottage in the woods is fantastic but I do dream of owning a sunny conservatory one day soon x So many lovely ideas and images, thanks ever so much x
THANK YOU. As a person who practices, I am finding it so absolutely daunting to incorporate a modern life/victorian-modern decor with my witchy soul. Though this is for more of a cottage base, I plan to bring where possible these elements into my personal decorum style of choice. Perhaps in the future there will be another article on a victorian witch home! or even a “love witch/siren style home decor” (not sure what style that would even be called lol).
