If your life will never be the
same as Game of Thrones has finished – fear not, we have some great ideas
for Game of Thrones inspired interior design. But of course, before you start thinking about introducing 'Thrones' to your home, you
must first decide which of the seven kingdoms is most suited to your interior
design style.
Now we are not talking about making
a total Game of Thrones takeover here – we are suggesting ways you could introduce
quite subtle touches from your favourite show. Regardless which is your favourite
kingdom – no pastels or neutral shades are allowed. We are talking brash, bold décor which could
be taken from the cold North or the more sumptuous Kings Landing.
Winterfell
If you want your own home to be
more Winterfell than the exotic capital – you should get your inspiration from
the Scandi home. The set uses a lot of
wood and stone in the interiors and so you can translate this to brick exposed
walls, stone mantels and wooden floors.
FrithRugs sheepskin rugs are
perfect for your cold North home – not just on the floors but also on sofas, beds and
chairs – you can even hang them on the wall.
And if you really wanted to go totally Thrones – you can even buy a
winter wolf
wall mural!
In terms of lighting, look for metallic
lights, but ideally you want to see as a display of large melting candles –
even if they are just for display purposes (don’t put candles near anything flammable
and remember to extinguish when not in the room). You can even buy battery powered candles
which would work just as well.
Kings Landing
Wood flooring also works well for
Landing lovers but go for a lighter oak effect.
You could also select a terracotta style tile flooring if you
prefer.
The great thing about this kingdom
is the opulence and style associated with a capital – once you have your
flooring, invest in some colourful quality rugs to add depth and richness. FrithRugs offer some fabulous pieces in our
Afghan/Persian collections – where red and gold are prevalent.
For other pieces, think Mediterranean
inspired ideas – warm colours such as mustard, orange and red and beautiful
antique pieces – or at least, faux antique pieces. It’s all about giving the appearance of
opulence so pick up pieces where you see them, whether that’s in an antique
shop or the High Street.
Winter is coming - well actually it's been and gone but you can always watch again!
