Craving a bedroom that feels rich, dramatic, and a little mysterious? A moody purple bedroom might be the vibe you’re after. This bold aesthetic combines deep shades of mauve, plum, violet, and aubergine with luxurious textures and layered lighting to create a space that’s both cosy and captivating.
Purple is certainly having a moment, but one thing I love about the colour is that you can take it in so many different directions! When I think about moody purple rooms, the first thing that comes to mind is a gothic vibe. But purple rooms can also signal romance, femininity, magic, dark academia, or even a celestial theme – or a mix or all of these!
Whether you lean towards romantic elegance or modern edge, purple’s versatility makes it the perfect choice for adding depth and personality to your bedroom. Pair it with dark woods, metallic accents, or soft velvets for a truly elevated look.
In this post, I’m sharing my top gorgeous moody purple finds to help you style a bedroom that’s anything but ordinary!
Distressed velvet comforter set
Is there any fabric more moody than distressed velvet? I think not! This deep purple crushed velvet bedding set is exactly where I’d start if I wanted to transform my bedroom into a moody purple haven! It’s a 5 piece set including a comforter and four pillow shams.
Moth pillow covers
This pair of cushion covers brings the witchy vibes to your moody purple room. The print features moths, celestial objects and botanical motifs, all with a definite dark and moody vibe!
Candle warmer lamp
Candle warmers use the gentle heat of a lamp to warm a scented candle so that it emits its fragrance without having to burn the candle. This method is safer than burning a candle, and suitable for use in dorm rooms or other places where you can’t have lit flames! It also makes your candles last longer. Of course, the lamp can also be used without a candle just as a room lamp. It has a soft and cosy glow.
Purple sheepskin rug
Sheepskins are absolutely unmatched for the cosiness, softness and luxury they bring a room! This faux sheepskin in rich purple will look fantastic in your moody purple room. Drape it on the end of your bed or over an armchair for extra snuggliness, or layer it with other rugs on the floor for a cozy effect (and extra soundproofing!)
Purple stained glass trinket box
Every bedroom needs a trinket box or dish to store your rings, hair ties and other bits and pieces! This purple glass one is so pretty it reminds me of an amethyst.
Purple chenille rug
Every moody bedroom needs a big rug to add depth, and I love the texture of this chenille rug. It comes in loads of different sizes too so you can find the best fit for any space!
Dark purple jacquard bedding set
The rich purple tones and floral jacquard fabric really give this gorgeous bedding set a moody and gothic vibe. It’s a 7 piece set that includes 1 Comforter, 2 Shams, 1 Bedskirt, 1 Cushion, 1 Neck Roll, and 1 Bolster. Layering up all those pillows will set a romantic and luxe tone for your room, too!
Peel and stick gothic red and purple wallpaper
What do you do if you want a moody purple bedroom but you’re renting and not allowed to paint the walls? Peel and stick wallpaper! This wallpaper is renter friendly as it claims to just peel off without damage – and it’s much quick and easier than painting over a dark colour at the end of your tenancy! This red and purple gothic, floral design is perfect for the theme, but other patterns exist too!
Flickering LED candles
Nothing says ‘moody’ quite like some flickering candlelight. For authentic candlelit atmosphere without the fire risk, go for some flameless battery operated candles like these purple pillar candles! Perfect for rentals and dorm rooms, and no worries if you accidentally leave them on all night.
Velvet tufted storage bench
I love a bench in a bedroom. They look fabulous at the end of the bed, they add extra seating, a place to throw extra clothes, and this one even has storage space inside! This purple velvet tufted bench gives that luxury and moody vibe you want in your purple bedroom.
Dark purple floral wall art
Every bedroom makeover requires some stunning wall art. For a moody purple room, you can’t get much better than this deep purple floral print. It’s giving gothic botanical and dark academia.
Moon shaped pillow
Break up the moodiness with a touch of whimsy. Purple bedrooms often lend themselves to a celestial or witchy theme, and this purple moon pillow would work with either!
Purple pom pom velvet curtains
Drapes or curtains can change the mood of a room like nothing else. These rich velvet curtains add an instant moody vibe to your purple bedroom. They are great for blacking out light too – perfect for vampires! And the pom poms are a unique touch.
