MODERN GOTHIC INTERIOR DESIGN


In the modern times, Gothic designs are used to give a dramatic and striking look to the interiors. Colors to be chosen for walls need to have deep hues. The most commonly used colors are ruby red, blue, gold, dark green and violet. The golden color is added for brightening the appearance. It is interspersed between other colors. The tapestries and wall hangings used have a rich/opulent look. Though it is common to paint the wall in black color as per the Gothic style, the idea needs to be give a second thought before it is applied. This color makes the appearance of the room much smaller. More number of paint coats are needed. This type of painting also reveals the tiny bumps and imperfections in the wall. Windows Decorating the windows is an important part of in Gothic style designing. Curtains to be used for windows should always be full-sized. Heavy and soft fabrics are recommended; damasks, brocades and velvets can be used for curtains. Again, the colors used for curtains need to have deep hues. Furniture Wrought iron and hardwood furniture is a special feature of Gothic style designing. The bed heads and chair backs need to have the typical pointed arch design found in the Gothic style. Wrought iron furniture includes decorative items such as chandelier and sconces used for candles. Accessories needed to give a Gothic look to the interiors include decorative boxes, metal glasses, pitchers (drinking ware), etc. Wall hangings and lamps are also required for a special Gothic look.
