But do not imagine creepy mansions and artwork when thinking about gothic style, instead, think of architectural beauty and intricate furniture pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Victorian gothic is, in essence, an architectural design that started as early in the 1740s. Compared to modern gothic interiors, they are similar because they show opulence and elegance. Gothic architecture first took the spotlight around 1150 AD. This was during the Medieval Period and it immediately became a significant part of every building design. Back then, it was called the <em>French Style<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of the gorgeous Gothic style can be found in abundance in the U.K. and the rest of Europe, more so in Paris, France. Gothic cathedrals are the perfect examples of gothic architectural wonders that have endured centuries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gothic Design Today <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These days, gothic structures stand as a testament to the unique ability and solid engineering that are used hand-in-hand in their creation.<\/p>\n<p>Have you heard of the <em>flying buttress<\/em>? This is one of the most recognized gothic elements in the world today. This was created during the Medieval Era. One can be seen in the Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris.<\/p>\n<p>Gothic\u2019s got a <em>pointy<\/em> sort of style with ornate doorways, beautiful archways and perfect symmetry. Architects need to use balance in all aspects of a gothic home. This doesn\u2019t mean that their brains have been hardwired to create everything that\u2019s dark and gloomy, though. With the right set of eyes, you can appreciate the artistry that gothic design stresses. These great minds have been trained to value the beauty of old cathedrals and other majestic structures.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_531\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><a href=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/02\/GOTHIC.-Maitland-Smith-Accessories-Black-Marble-Vase-2100-302.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-531\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-531\" src=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/02\/GOTHIC.-Maitland-Smith-Accessories-Black-Marble-Vase-2100-302.jpg\" alt=\" Maitland-Smith Accessories Black Marble Vase 2100-302 has all the elements of gothic style \u2013 a dark, rich color and its ornate metallic design. \" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maitland-Smith Accessories Black Marble Vase 2100-302 has all the elements of gothic style \u2013 a dark, rich color and its ornate metallic design.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A great way to wrap your mind around this unique interior design is to imagine intricate and ancient churches instead of dreary places. These are actually sanctuaries with stately windows complete with stained glass. Designs of roses or trefoils are also quite common as are majestic fireplaces situated below exposed beams and wooden rafters.<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful candelabra should complete this divine style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gothic Interior Design: A Vertical Style <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The gothic design is mainly a vertical style depicted by the looming peaks and arches, with windows growing larger and larger as you walk in each room. There is also an increased amount of lighting and ventilation as the years pass. The gloomy feel of the Romanesque churches are long gone.<\/p>\n<p>Victorian gothic furniture pieces are usually made with sturdy and heavy oak wood adorned with the designs that are reminiscent of the Medieval Period. Headboards, chairs, cabinetry come with beautiful legs, arches and spirals. Heavy fabrics encase these heavy furniture pieces with every upholstery displaying the most majestic colors.<\/p>\n<p>Including benches, pews and altar chairs is an effective way to show the kind of crafts that was featured during that time.<\/p>\n<p>Gothic colors tend to be dark and rich with sombre hues of ruby, purple, forest green, ochre, and gold. You may use black but do so sparingly. It is not good to fall into the usual gothic notion where rooms are dark and even probably haunted. Vibrant colors like deep burgundy, emerald green, dark blue and ruby red are all acceptable.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_532\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" ><a href=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/02\/GOTHIC.-Uttermost-Accessories-Alita-Mirror-11587-B.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-532\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-532\" src=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/02\/GOTHIC.-Uttermost-Accessories-Alita-Mirror-11587-B.jpg\" alt=\"Uttermost Accessories Alita, Mirror 11587 B\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Uttermost Accessories Alita, Mirror 11587 B<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Gothic walls are covered with greenery, flowers and heavy patterns. Homeowners also use stencil designs and heraldic symbols. Paint your walls with flat colors in order to replicate the stone surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Accentuate stained glass windows with full suits of armor, wrought iron, candles and pews. Cornices and carved ribbing are also common characteristics of gothic interior design.<\/p>\n<p>Display wooden, carved sconces as well as pottery dishes. Wrought iron lamps should be able to cast that needed glow inside an otherwise dark room.<\/p>\n<p>For the final touch, go full gothic by adding dramatic elements such as moldings, dark wallpaper and heavy curtains. Just like you would with any style that you choose, go all out in using the gothic interior design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Gothic interior design or those medieval interiors both represent like eras.
