The Haunted Study: Designing a Home Office That Summons Creativity

From candlelit corners to heirloom desks, transform your workspace into a sanctuary where creativity never sleeps.

For the gothic creative, a home office should not be a boring, sterile space –  it’s not merely a desk and chair, but a sanctum where words are conjured and art is born. 

To create an office that fosters true creativity, think less in terms of function alone and more as ritual—an environment designed to awaken your imagination as well as honour those who came before you.

We’ve identified five areas to inject gothic inspiration into your space, each one an anchor for both function and atmosphere. These elements are touchstones that ground your daily rituals and spark imagination, ensuring your office feels less like a dull workroom and more like a haunted study where creativity thrives.
