Get the gothic-glam Wuthering Heights interiors aesthetic

Posted on 18th February 2026

If the “Wuthering Heights” film has left you yearning for lavish interiors, we’re looking at ways to get the gothic-glam aesthetic at home…

While I was in the midst of reading Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel, the dream-like adaptation of “Wuthering Heights”, in purposeful quotation marks, by Emerald Fennell hit the big screen. I have yet to watch the film, but there is certainly no escaping the snapshots of its glamorous set details and moody interiors aesthetic going viral on social media at the moment.

So, if you are fascinated by the film’s surreal, dramatic aesthetic and its romantic allure, I reached out to the experts to find out how to get this gothic-glam look in your own home.

The “Wuthering Heights” aesthetic

This look is rooted in its colour palette, says Hannah Parker, B&Q’s head of style and design. “Use deep, enveloping colours and stormy hues, like inky blues, mossy greens, rich blackberry tones and warm stone neutrals to achieve the depth and rich contrast that the film features,” she advises.

Rachel Nimz Taylor, senior bedroom buyer at DFS, agrees and adds, “Deep saturated hues like midnight blue form an enveloping backdrop reminiscent of stormy skies and wild landscapes, creating a sense of escapism. Even the grandest rooms become intimate and grounded when wrapped in rich, inky tones.”

In the kitchen, for example, you can choose this colour scheme for your cabinets alongside contrasting worktops and exposed woodwork, says Hannah. “Swap high-gloss for matte finishes, and incorporate Shaker door styles and brass hardware for the period look,” she adds.

The Gothic Romance aesthetic from “Wuthering Heights” works beautifully in a sleep space, notes Rachel, “With the moody energy and touches of romanticism that set the tone for a bedroom that feels atmospheric and cinematic without feeling too staged and overly theatrical.”

For warmth and depth, Hannah recommends layering materials. “For example, contrast a heavy, dark wood bed frame with plush textiles. But don’t stop at fabrics – consider lighting, too! Layering light sources instantly makes a space feel more atmospheric.” For example, you can make a statement in the dining room with an opulent chandelier and add a romantic touch with intricate lamps. Or why not light up double wick candles or a fireplace to evoke that nostalgic feeling?

However, texture, which was heavily featured on the set of the film, is also key when looking to create an inviting scheme. “Select plush velvet upholstery, smooth satin finishes and subtle brass accents. These materials catch the light beautifully, adding depth and movement to darker shades,” advises Rachel.

As for the bathroom, you can introduce character through period features such as classic panelling. “Use raw materials like slate or tumbled stone underfoot to add texture and contrast. Finally, subtle details like a small vase of dried wildflowers will perfectly balance the Gothic weight with romance,” concludes Hannah.
