I unfortunately had to remove this last year due to the writers strike, so I’m very happy to share this with you officially. This makeover cost me around $200 and consist of loads of DIYs to bring it to life. Hope you enjoy!
FUN FACT:
The tiles in the Atrium (and throughout the Ministry of Magic) were made out of thick cardboard, as actual ceramic tiles would have been very expensive to produce. Each "tile" underwent a lengthy painting process to give them the look of real ceramic tile. Over 30,000 individually placed tiles were used.

I am 80 y/o and have never seen a Harry Potter movie or the room that are referring to, however, I am a fan of dark academia decor and I have to say you absolutely nailed it with this room. YOu added all the charm and aesthetic required to give the vibe you were going for. You certainly should start in the set design and decorating business, you have so much imagination and knowledge of how to achieve that certain look you are going for. Again I love it. I have been an interior decorator for 50 years and always admire the ability in those people who can achieve an illusion to the point of being realistic. Good on ya girly !!!

If I may share - I saw a post on fb of someone's bookcase, and they secretly slipped a chocolate candy bar [Lindt in this case] between some book spines - which I think is a great hiding place and would be handy in case of dementors.

I knew of a crystal/metaphysical shop that had it on all of their walls, and it looked great. I was thinking of making a Gryffindor themed living room, myself, but have not done it.

I second your point about not making a fan room. My own room is inspired by the Slytherin Common Room, but is very much along the lines of what a student of the school might have, rather than what a fan of the show might have (which most room makeovers appear to be).

OMG, I am so happy to have found this! We have a guest house on our property that I am turning into the Gryffindor common room and I totally agree with you on the walls! I searched high and low for the perfect stone backdrop- finally found one on Amazon (that was not cheap) and it fades very quickly even with no direct sunlight. VERY frustrating, as the walls are the most important visual aspect of the room. I may have to start my search over, as I am a perfectionist. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

If you’re looking for a easier way to make the “stone" wall, I saw a woman on you tube tape off the grout lines and go over it with with joint compound to create a stone/brick effect. Then she pulls the tape off and it gives it a 3d stone look. Then you can paint them however you need to after it’s dry.

Thank you so much for putting this back up! I am planning to redo my bedroom as a Gryffindor common room this year and am getting so many ideas from this on what to start looking for and thrifting. I have two windows to try and work around but maybe I can find some photos of the tour in London to see what they did as I doubt my parents would let me paint the wood frames black but maybe a darker stain could be agreed upon. I love that little suitcase side table that is so freaking cute! Would love to know where you got it from! Got any ideas on how to upgrade a bedroom door and a sliding piano hinged closet doors? I know a lot of people paint the marauders map on their closet doors and I’ve debated it but I think I wanna keep them wood you know? I really wanna keep the aesthetic of the Gryffindor common room and not make it look like a little kids bedroom make over.

@tamieckert4548 4 ай бұрын

Lanchen, beautiful reveal, but as looking at the stone wall, the grout is too white, like bathroom white, just smudge some light gray in and out of the lines some,for a more ancient look, and the sconces on each side put a little higher than the picture so that the lights don’t compete with your picture,and it may make your room have a taller illusion.Love the divider very much, you’ll need a hint brighter desk light to show off your items better. Enjoyed the journey of your fantastic finds too. As loving art I made a faux fireplace and it’s close to completed.👍👜🌂👢🧳🎩💖
