Firstly, incase you're not too sure if Gothic Interior Design is the same as Medieval Interiors it's better to let you know that no, they are not the same. Both represent the Middle Ages however, they are infact quite different.
The Gothic period is post Medieval.
During the Medieval period, Gothic architecture and design or as it was more commonly known as back then 'the French Style', took a strong hold in the Middle Ages around 1150.
The UK, Europe and particularly Paris, France has many beautiful examples of which the best are most definitely the cathedrals.
Built with purpose and built to last, Gothic cathedrals are a historic gift to modern society as well as a true representation of man's ability, engineering and determination.
The architectural 'flying buttress' element was first formed during this period and one of the first applications can be seen at Notre Dame de Paris. Incredible.
Gothic style can be described as 'pointy'. Arches, chairs, doorways took on this look that had never been seen previously. Symmetry was widely used in proportion to balance out the space and is most certainly ornate.
To create this design concept without your rooms becoming 'too heavy' with ornamental bric-a-brac, one very important addition to include in your design ideas would be to introduce a dark/black painted wall similar to that you can see in the image below, right.
The biggest giveaway is the tone/color of the room, followed by the ornate fireplace and interesting mix of decor.
Note that the windows are not that in the style traditionally found however, that doesn't mean that the outcome can't be Gothic.
You are looking to draw elements from the past and create an interesting representation using touches of this design style.
This style is all about setting a particular kind of atmosphere which should be moody and fairly dark. Should you prefer to wallpaper your walls over painting them, there are many collections available which hold black ranges with cool and interesting patterns. Below are a couple of examples of what you're looking for.
When selecting furniture for a Gothic interior design concept once again you should be thinking of black items that hold intricate detailing like those I've shown below.
You may also be bold and add a striking piece into your decor to add something different and focal at the same time bringing color into your room. The drawers on the right are an example of such an item.
So what we know for far is that your walls should be dark/black and your furniture also. When considering your flooring, it's a safe bet to opt for a timber/wood floor. Carpet is also a good choice.
The images below share some fantastic bathroom ideas particularly observe the bathtub. If you are associating your design style with Gothic interior design then the tub should preferably be free standing and made out of steel.
The bedroom below is a good example of a modern design, influenced by the Gothic period. We're not living in the Middle Ages therefore, why not think about how your could blend this concept into a modern/contemporary environment.
