Features of the Gothic style
Gothic is often associated with a kind of black castle, vampires and ghosts, with a cemetery theme and the like, not the most pleasant things. However, this image from creepy movies and otherworldly photos does not give a complete and correct idea of \u200b\u200bthe style.
Gothic is the splendor of stained glass windows, luxury and medieval beauty. It is very difficult to confuse a style with any other, here it is character traits:
- ✔ - one of the most important markers of Gothic, a characteristic technique. Unlike ordinary rounded arches, lancet arches are pointed at the top. This design is reminiscent of oriental architecture, and it is no coincidence. It was from there that the idea was borrowed, after which the lancet vaults, windows, doorways became an integral part of the Gothic style.

- ✔ High ceilings. Unfortunately, if your apartment does not have such luxury, it is better to refuse the Gothic style. It requires vast space and a sense of elevation, and this is categorically impossible in an apartment with ceilings below 2.6 - 2.7 meters.
- ✔ Big windows. Remember gothic cathedrals with huge windows looking up and you will understand that this style is simply unthinkable without this architectural element. Perfect option- lancet windows with colorful stained-glass windows.
Of course, in a standard apartment with standard frames it is difficult to create the desired shape pointed at the top. This is where the mastery of illusion comes in. If you hang the curtains in such a way that they are connected at an acute angle, then the impression of a lancet arch will be created from the inside.
Curtains hung in a special way create an imitation of an arch
- ✔ The feeling of a fairy tale with noble knights, generous kings and beautiful princesses is difficult to create without chic armchairs, solid carved chests and beds under painted canopies. Beautiful and expensive furniture semi-antique - an indispensable element of the interior.
Gothick style impossible without luxurious furniture
- ✔ Exquisite little things. The Gothic style consists not only of tall, as if in a castle, ceilings and solid sofas. Small but iconic details like antique vases or heavy candelabra help create the right atmosphere.
Gothic finishes
Gothic design is not easy, you will have to make an effort and use your imagination to recreate it in a normal modern apartment or private home. But you can get acquainted with the mass of examples of successful implementation, be inspired by them and get down to business. And we will suggest a few ideas and talk about what you should pay attention to when thinking through the layout.
Walls. If you want a complete immersion in historical realities, then good option will be the drapery of the walls with fabrics, for example, velvet or cloth. Of course, this is not the most practical solution, since it will cost a lot, and the coating will get dirty, absorb moisture and collect dust. A compromise can be the usual painting or pasting textured wallpaper with floral ornament.

To make the setting more like a chamber from the late Middle Ages, decorate the walls with tapestries or carpets with thematic pattern. But the usual pictures are rarely used.
A Gothic-style room is often zoned with different wall finishes. For example, decorate the corner of the living room where you are going to slowly drink coffee at the table in calm tones, make an imitation of brickwork around the fireplace, and let the place for receiving guests be more lively and colorful.
Ceiling. It is unlikely that today someone pays attention to the ceilings - they are almost the same everywhere. But to create a Gothic interior, you will have to try - ordinary whitewashing, simple stretch and mounted options won't fit here. Complex structures resembling an open umbrella with stucco and murals are not always available in an apartment, but it is quite possible to make a spectacular stylization. Thematic prints, decorative arches, open beams will come to the rescue.

In general, furniture should be solid, heavy, with carved patterns upholstered in expensive fabric. It is worth giving preference to dark woods.
Decor
Exquisite details smelling of antiquity form an amazing mosaic of the Gothic interior. Without tastefully selected accessories, the design will not find the desired completeness. Not only guests, but also the owners themselves will be pleased to look at the bizarre little things that have settled on the shelves and countertops.

This gave the space a sense of infinity and mystery. By the way, in Gothic interiors, imitations are often made on the ceilings. beam floors- it also fits the style.
Wall and floor finishing

The history of the development of the Gothic interior genre
This unique design trend originated in France in the 12th century. During the Middle Ages, the decoration of mansions with knightly armor, made of wood and metal with a deliberately rough finish, was welcomed, round windows in a lead frame and many details of the furnishings of an elongated shape. The heyday of the Gothic direction of art occurred in the 15th century. During this period of time, architects radically changed the idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding houses. Their ascetic features were transformed beyond recognition thanks to talented architects who managed to turn unremarkable houses into remarkable castles:
- decorate the facades with an abundance of glass and metal elements of ornate form, massive metal ones;
- radically change the configuration of residential premises - double the height of the walls by installing high columns with a massive base, fan vaults, coffered ceilings, maximize the boundaries of the rooms to create a feeling of maximum spaciousness;
- to install numerous large-format windows in rooms, regardless of their purpose, be it a bedroom or a bathroom;
- replace interior doors with arches lancet shape;
- use natural materials for interior decoration - marble, granite, precious woods, tiles.
In the process of development of the Gothic style of design, the style of housing design was constantly changing: majestic mansions with an abundance of gilded and bronze interior elements adapted to the lifestyle of modern people.
