the Gothic style, Design of an interior

We are sorry for the machine translation!

The Word a gothic style has occurred from Italian gotico that means unusual, barbarous. Ancient Romans named готами all tribes interfering in their empire from the north, and historically a word gotico long time was abusive. In modern sense the term "gothic style" has applied Dzhordzho Vazari to separate an epoch of the Renaissance from the Middle Ages. Approximate time of development of a gothic style: c 1250 for 1520. In Gothic style the special place was taken away religions, and it is possible to consider as style symbols a Catholic cross and a cathedral.

To create an interior in style a gothic style:

  • Apply characteristic elements of Gothic style: columns, the arches of difficult forms, mosaic stained-glass windows, ornaments with the arms.
  • Choose furniture with elements of church architecture. High folding cases, sofas, buffets and heavy chests will well be entered in an interior. The furniture should be made of a file of an oak, a pine, a nut, a fur-tree, a cedar, a larch or a juniper.
  • Use for dressing: marble, a stone, the stucco moulding painted or covered with gold. The metal accessories should be iron or bronze. The pictures written by oil or engravings on a tree well will approach.
  • Apply characteristic colours to Gothic style in an interior: shades gold, red, yellow and dark blue, gold and silver threads.
  • Floors can be used stone or board, from the dark polished tree.
  • Walls can be plastered partially, and partially to revet with an artificial or natural stone, baring thus "an ancient" laying.
  • For the big premises stained-glass windows in the form of lancet arches, and for small – fine windows in the form of a rose perfectly will approach.
  • the Most expressive part of an interior can be made a fireplace or the tiled furnace. It should be richly issued, with the architectural details directed upwards.
