If you want to give your home an air of mystery and appreciate old furniture with a rich history, Gothic interior style might be for you.
Mysterious and artistic: Gothic interior style
Gothic interior style grew out of medieval architecture and is known for height, drama and richly detailed forms. Pointed arches, vaulted ceilings, columns and carved capitals are among its most recognizable architectural features. In interiors, Gothic influence often appears through dark wood, stained glass, wrought iron and furniture with elaborate ornament. Compared with softer Romantic or Romanesque references, the mood is more solemn, mysterious and theatrical.
Gothic style in modern interiors
Gothic interior style still influences designers and architects, who continue to reinterpret its basic principles. Even a few details can suggest the look without turning the whole room into a period setting: tinted glass, deep purple curtains or wrought iron ornaments are good examples. Dark colors also work surprisingly well with minimalist furniture, especially when balanced by chandeliers, ornate mirrors and a light wooden floor. Lace curtains create a play of light and shadow, while arched shelving, Gothic motifs, black leather sofas and modern chairs can form a strong eclectic mix.
