What is Gothic Design?

Add a touch of drama, mystery, and grandeur to an interior with these design accents:

• Flooring: Install a rich, dark oak hardwood, blocked stone tile, or laminated flooring that mimics natural elements. Flooring can be decorated with original rugs that coordinate with the room’s drapery and upholstery.
• Interiors: Design the space with oversized furniture, benches, decorated candle holders, drapes, and plush fabrics.

Though its beginnings date back hundreds of years, gothic style is still widely popular today, and is the design-of-choice for new churches, cathedrals, and even personal spaces.
