Demonic Design, Day 4

Probably not for the fastidious—and certainly not the arachnophobic—this webby wallpaper casts a spell on any space. Metallic silver filaments glint in the light [of a full moon, perhaps?], creating a look that is chillingly ever-changing. grahambrown.com

Demonic Design, Day 3

Afraid of the dark? You needn't worry about things that go bump in the night, thanks to this lantern-toting bat and his ophidian friend. The Drake pendant adds an appropriately eerie glow to belfry and bathroom alike.

[A fun frightful fact: This light fixture hangs in the foyer of the boyhood home of Adam West—yes, the Batman of the 1960s television series—in Walla Walla, Washington. Biff!] rejuvenation.com

Demonic Design, Day 2

If Dr. Frankenstein had been a designer of powder rooms rather than cobbled-together corpse-creatures, this bath might have been in his portfolio. The diabolical plumbing layout is clear evidence of a twisted mind at work. I imagine those incandescent bulbs would ominously flicker and dim whenever the doctor powered up his latest creation. andrerothblattarchitecture.com

Demonic Design

As is our custom, KBCULTURE commemorates Halloween with a week of posts featuring gruesome products and haunt-worthy locations. So grab your broom and off we go...

The gothic-influenced arch and blackened-steel canopy have a dark, old-world aura about them—perhaps this is the skullery [that's not a typo!] of a castle in the forests of Transylvania? The monolithic range could easily handle a cauldron or two of Newt Stew or Salamander Surprise. traceryinteriors.com

The Hell?

Only the proud inventor of the Automatic Electric Fireless Cooker Range could call the ungainly appliance 'attractive and beautiful in design.' And the promise of love at first sight is a particularly bold claim, given the less-than-flattering photograph. But perhaps I'm being too judgmental, here; aesthetic standards in 1928 weren't bad, as much as they were simply different from today. In fact, Wm. Campbell was ahead of his time with the technology of the AEFCR: The drawer-style cooking component predates the modern slide-out microwave by more than seventy years.

[Curly] Cue the Lights

The classic modern kitchen is so unrelentingly cubic; it's only natural that the eye [or is it the mind?] would seek a bit of curvilinear relief. The June chandelier adds both light and line to the room. LEDs illuminate small blocks of frosted acrylic, which cap each of the twelve bent-oak branches of the fixture. paakkanen.fi

Snug Tub

Oh, excusez moi—I didn't realize this bath was already occupied. The portrait peeking out of the zinc tub is certainly a unique way to personalize the decor. On a more pragmatic note, the room defies conventional wisdom that freestanding bathtubs require acres of open floor space. mathias-paris.com
