Goth decor uses a variety of materials, including PVC or PVC-coated polyester, polyester and other fabrics, plastics (frames and polyethylene), wood, glass, and polished black obsidian (often shown with a wooden stand).
Some wreaths and accents are described as weatherproof or all‑weather and call out UV resistance and fade resistance so they hold up to sun, rain, and wind.
Larger animatronic props commonly include motion (moving wings or parts and adjustable arms), lighted elements (glowing or lighted eyes), and sound activation—emitting terrifying sounds or roars and often responding to noise.
Many wreaths and framed accents arrive ready to hang with no tools or minimal setup. Large animatronic or standing props typically require basic assembly—installing a base or pole, attaching the figure, and connecting power.
