The call is coming from inside the house … for low-key goth homewares that embrace the dark side. Find friendly snakes, Nick Cave art tiles and an elegantly macabre hellhound blanket.

Degoey Planet Polycephaly Python Vase

$240
We love the delightfully unhinged ceramics produced by Gold Coast studio Degoey Planet. This double-headed snake vase looks like it belongs on the cover of an ’80s metal album, yet it’s finished in Wedgwood-esque matte powder blue. A demure and lovable monster-of-the-week that also holds your flowers? Fangs a lot.

Cave Things Peace Will Come Tile

$40
Australia’s own Prince of Darkness, Nick Cave, has a side hustle in art and design at Cave Things. This nifty tile is from his Dread collection, which features hand-drawn animals the iconic musician created during lockdowns. Cave’s ghost seems friendly, and it’s quoting lyrics from The Spinning Song , which makes for quite a soothing statement piece.

Maison Balzac Papillon Rug

$349
This limited-edition rug is a collaboration between beloved Sydney homewares label Maison Balzac and Doing Goods animal mats. Handmade in India with 100 per cent wool and a cotton backing, it suggests the fragile – often overlooked – night-time beauty of moths. Or perhaps a subtle nod to the urban legend of Mothman?

Sean Morris Harbingers Blanket

$350
Aussie artist Sean Morris has a thing for the dark and macabre. For his Harbingers blanket he’s gone full-blown gothic novel, with a full moon over a craggy castle, and a windswept damsel surrounded by folkloric hounds. Great as a wall hanging or a throw. (Or perhaps a sturdy cape to cavort in the moonlight.)

Black Blaze Seaweed Pillar Candle

$19
For most of the year, this striking candle from Sydney label Black Blaze acts as a groovy sculptural decor piece ready to be lit when you need some warm light (and drama). During Halloween season, you can play it off as an homage to Cthulu, or a minimalist tentacle of doom.

Crumble Pumpkin Casserole

$250
Aussie brand Crumble brings colour to cast iron cookware. And sure, you could go for a traditional Halloween orange take on this limited-edition casserole. But why not widen your spooky palette with petrol blue, olive green, or perhaps classic cream? Great for roasting, frying and baking all year round – and bringing elevated Hocus Pocus vibes to your kitchen.

Garden Glory Claw Hose Holder

$299
Stylish and whimsical Swedish label Garden Glory – known for its colour-drenched hoses – embraces the dark side of the fairytale aesthetic with this wall-mounted hose holder modelled on a deadly falcon claw. Made of solid brass with chrome plating, it’s designed for outdoor use, but there’s nothing to stop you installing one inside to hold your towel or apron in its eerie embrace.
