These 4 Harry Potter-themed rooms by designers are amazing

Slytherin is surprisingly chic. - by Laura Barry
  • 15 Nov 2018

Many a muggle has dreamed of the day they would be sorted into a house at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. From the cosy fireplace in Gryffindor tower to the mysterious wells of Slytherin, there isn’t a soul who would refuse an opportunity to snoop through the halls of Hogwarts.

Alas, those of us living with the curse that is a lack of magical power can only live vicariously through Rowling’s books and films.

So, to celebrate the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the Skirting Board Shop in the UK has had interior designer Ellie Barker recreate a stylish room themed to each for the four houses from Harry Potter: Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. And the results are surprisingly spot-on.

As it turns out, the four houses translate incredibly well into interior design themes, and the rooms are genuinely stylish, on-trend and applicable to real life.

Check out the styles below.

Gryffindor

With plenty of grand furniture, dark wood, brown leather and lashings of fur, Gryffindor interiors are best suited to decadent manor houses in the countryside.

Hufflepuff

Hufflepuff homes would be inspired by Scandinavian interiors, with lots of modern furniture and splashes of yellow and black (the house colours). Think bright and airy city loft apartments decorated with burnished copper and contemporary artwork.

Slytherin

Slytherin interiors would involve sleek, dark rooms accented by the house’s colours, silver and emerald green.

Ravenclaw

Inspired by the element of air, Ravenclaw homes would have plenty of windows and be furnished in dreamy, deep blue hues. This style of interior lends itself beautifully to period Georgian homes with delicate furniture and high ceilings.
