Speaking about Gothic, in the subconscious, rather gloomy associations arise. It seems that rooms made in a similar style should have rough pointed furniture, weapons hanging on the walls. It seems that the walls themselves seem to be made of stone.
Perhaps it was, but only in the Middle Ages. Now the features characteristic of the modern Gothic style are the following – this is irrationality, expression.
Gothic style is filled with openwork ornaments, you can find many elements made of wood (often containing engraving).
It was previously believed that a fireplace will be a key element of such an interior. In modern houses, this is quite possible to recreate if an electric fireplace.
Another “fad” of the rooms made in a Gothic style is a fairly bulky, heavy upholstered furniture made of oak, larch, pine, nut, European cedar, juniper or pine.
The rooms of the Gothic style can be decorated with tile mosaics, which can also be painted in different ways. If not a tile mosaic, then stucco molding, a majolica, covered with gilding.
But we will answer the main question. For whom is a similar interior suitable and whether it is suitable for you? The answer is ambiguous. Gothic’s heavy style of the interior can make the atmosphere of the rooms cold and “not home”, perhaps it will not be easy to relax in such a room. On the other hand, the luxurious decoration of the Gothic chambers creates a feeling of medieval splendor of the castles.
The correct approach to working with a Gothic interior is a search for a balance between luxury and gloom.
You can borrow your favorite elements, combining them with other styles. You can use separate parts of the room, decorating them under Gothic antiquity. The main thing is the balance and harmony that must certainly be felt in the room. Bully upholstered furniture can be framed by light graceful pillows and linen – and then your bed no longer seems so heavy. Accessories in the form of weapons or swords on the walls carry hidden aggression, but it can be softened if the color of the walls on which they hang will not be dark.
In working with the Gothic style, it will be useful to turn to the help of a professional – his ideas and ideas regarding combinations of colors and accessories, as well as Gothic furniture and its location in space may be useful to you. Remember that the main thing is the harmony and balance between gloom and luxury.
