Ever since I first moved on my own ten years ago, I dreamed of having a Hogwarts themed home. Specifically, I wanted to replicate the essence of each house and the coziness of the common rooms. I never was quite able to make this idea work in a rental. Now that I have a clean slate with a home of my own, this is my design inspiration.
In our home, I will finally have my own office / art studio. I am beyond excited to decorate this space as a serene work environment. Naturally, I want this to be my own house, which is Ravenclaw. I am also extremely passionate about astronomy, so I want my space to reflect that. Fortunately that works with the Ravenclaw aesthetic.
Here is the official Ravenclaw common room from Pottermore:
I can definitely draw inspiration from this. My art studio will also have our current couch, which converts to a bed so this room can double as the guest room. I plan on reupholstering it with a nice teal blue like in this picture. I would like that side of the office to be a book nook, with the couch and a bookshelf.
I found this image on House Beautiful. I think this is a little dark for my taste, but I like the placement of the couch and bookshelves.
As for the studio part, I have a lot of different ideas. IKEA had this gem of an inspirational photo, and I am in love. I plan on doing a gallery wall behind my desk to showcase a lot of my artwork.
I also want to incorporate a space theme. Moon painting, fairy lights, constellation clock – I have so many ideas! I really need to get in the space and get a feel for the amount of room I will have. Click here to see my Pinterest board for Ravenclaw office inspiration!
Stay tuned for my ideas for the other three houses. I’m so looking forward to the Hufflepuff inspired kitchen!
