Children love stories of castles and knights in shining armor, dreaming to be amidst such a setting. To convert a child's modern bedroom into medieval castle could be a dream come true, and make any parent the new hero.
Furniture
Place a chest of drawers, doubling up as a study table, made of oak and branded with iron instead of the regular cupboard. Upholster the chair in heavy brocades in medieval style. A castle bed with bronze leaf finish would complete the effect.
Tapestries
Having a heavy tapestry with ancient designs or flowers on a window with stained glass can keep out the draft and will also impart a grandeur to the room. They can also be hung around the bed to maintain the privacy.
Accessories
Tall candleholders made of wrought iron and rugs with ancient Gothic designs will impart a castle feel to the room, as will decorating the walls with a helmet, sword and shield. Placing a knight's statue with brass armour near the doorway will add to the statement of the room, giving it a Gothic feel.
Finishing Touches
A medieval room is incomplete without oak beams on the ceiling, which also give a warm finishing touch.
