Harry Potter-Inspired Home Design Tips

"Harry Potter" novels and movies were already finished but the magic that came with them can go on for more years. Even Muggles like us can enjoy the feel of wizarding world at the comfort of our own home.

Here are some home design tips from across the Web that we can consider to bring the magical world in our house:

Albus Dumbledore's Gothic Office

If you are impressed with Dumbledore's style, as Kingsley was in the franchise, get that "steampunky" vibe of the headmaster's study, SheKnows.com says to start choosing gold and carved furniture, plus heavy velvet fabrics. A bookshelf that stands from floor to ceiling would be a great addition. Opt for old, leather-bound books from used bookstores. You don't need to spend big for books you might actually not read, just find the right look. Arched mirrors, gilt picture frames, polished metal gears, and old telescopes would add to the gothic theme.

SheKnows.com also have some tips on how you can get the look of Dursleys' English countryside house and Weasleys' boho chic burrow.

Bold Gryffindor House Common Room

Ever dreamed of being part of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff? Popsugar got us some interior design tips to get the look and the feel of our favorite Hogwarts house.

Taking Gryffindor in this case, Popsugar's main advice is to not be afraid of being bold with the use of gold and scarlet-colored materials and items. Take a risk and go paint your wall red! Add cozy couches with gold accents, velvet sofas, knitted blankets and golden chandeliers to capture the look of Gryffindor common room. Wear your knitted sweater to complete the feel!

The Room Under the Stairs

While Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs at the Dursleys is not big and impressive, it has become an intriguing part of the house for children and adults alike, Houzz said. Convert the room under the stairway as a playroom for your kids by painting it with the color they want and adding shelves, rugs, and toys.
