Serendipity led me to this resolved question on Yahoo! Answers:

Idea's for gothic but girly mature bedroom?

So, me and my fiancee are getting our own place. I like butterflies, retro, betty boop, hello kitty, leopard print, fluffy things, pretty things.

He likes gothic things, skulls, flames, satan, death etc.

We've settled on purple walls. Any idea's for the room that may suit the both of us?

Additional Details
I didn't ask for 'sexy' idea's. I asked for gothic and GIRLY idea's. Black and red is very gothic, and that would leave me with nothing girly. Which is why I said (if you read the question properly) we already decided on PURPLE, as it can be classed as gothic and girly.
