Doom & Gloom

Creating an ambience isn't just reliant on furniture, but the entire mood of the room. Surrounding yourself with tones that are tantalisingly downbeat often provides a subtle, yet moody, backdrop to highlight the bold and grand nature of castle life. Adorning the walls with a rich red or an overgrown green is one of the best ways to put your favourite pieces front and centre.

The Round Table

A seat at the table has rarely symbolically meant more than in the stories of castle courts. In this trend, large dining tables are characterised by large amounts of space for your nearest and dearest and often contain dark and distinguished wooden elements that make it a strong statement of robust interiors. Curved edges encompass the togetherness that harsh edges do not.

Personal Chambers

Bedrooms. In today's time they contain a myriad of mod-cons, but in the middle-ages they were usually focused around one thing: their namesake. The throne wasn't the only important individual piece of furniture in a castle; a place to sleep and rest has been the cornerstone of a quintessential home since the human story began. So the exuberance of a four-poster bed, a room within a room, is the ideal way to to go from bedroom to bed chamber.

A Light in the Dark

When we think of castles, our minds are cast to ceilings as high as the eye can see. But with tall rooms come the inevitable - tall lighting. Chandeliers have been a staple of castles since we had a word for 'fire hazard.' In 2025 they're still a seriously stylish way of illuminating your space, albeit with candlelight replaced by something with a bit more longevity. However, the lack of flickering flames doesn't mean that we need to forgo the style that was so widely celebrated for so long. A modern day masterpiece is the pinnacle of Castlecore.
