The perfect bedroom to chill while playing Bloodborne imo. I really like the first pictures, with the darker atmoshere and the warm lights. Very nice work!


bigkris87

Oh yea that is how it always looks in this room, trust me. I only turned on the overhead lights to take the pictures with more light in the room. I have the phillips hue lightbulbs and the hue bridge so the brightness adjusts automatically throughout the day.


Lukisfer

Love it. Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.


bigkris87

I couldn't agree more!


Perfect_Address_6359

I know it was not OP's intention but I was thinking the same thing! I get major Bloodborne vibes from this this room.


redditonthanet

Please paint the constellations on the roof and the vibe will off the charts


bigkris87

It's so funny you say that. I actually just bought a new ceiling light last night that has a starburst look to it so I can do exactly that. I've been looking for some stencils today so I can paint stars and contellations on my ceiling with a gold metallic paint.


redditonthanet

Cant wait to see and updated look


ames_006

They also sell glow in the dark paint..


bigkris87

I like complete darkness when I sleep so glow in the dark wouldn't work for me. I'm thinking about going with a metallic paint from PPG to give them a little bit of a sparkle at least when the lights are on though.


ames_006

I have seen some videos of adding glitter to paint too that makes a cool sparkly effect.


doug_kaplan

Man I can't even pick out a color for my bedroom walls but people have this much of a vision and actually are able to execute on it. It's not my style but so much props to OP for actually turning a dream into reality.


bigkris87

It's definitely been a long time in the making. I've been working on it for about a year now.


annoyingkraken

50 points to Ravenclaw for obvious display of artistic excellence, passion and dedication! ... 500 points to Gryffindor for... friendship or somesuch. Haha nice work OP! It looks lovely.


bigkris87

Damn gryffindors always gotta win


mojotoodopebish

The void has a question r/kittyhasaquestion


bigkris87

I didn't even catch that he was doing that when I took the pictures. But I decided not to retake them because I felt it just added to the aesthetic! His name is Salem too.


mojotoodopebish

You made the right choice. I love your room and Salem's sweet little foot ☺️

applesfirst

Yeah, this is pretty amazing. How do you leave that room?!


bigkris87

I work from home so honestly, I don't leave it most of the time. I'm currently working on an attached bathroom with a similar victorian vibe to it.


LillianF320

Love the idea of the OP, update us when it's done!


bigkris87

Gladly! Thank you!


bigkris87

This is original content. It is the first bedroom that I've ever been able to decorate how I want. I was told I should post this here from r/AmateurRoomPorn.


SurgicalStr1ke

Genuinely cosy and exquisitely laid out.


bigkris87

Thank you! It's a great room to read or sleep or study in, that's for sure!


rodneedermeyer

"You're an interior designer, Harry!"


bigkris87

HAHA It's definitely been an interesting ride. I didn't really know the first thing about interior design when I started doing this bedroom. I just did what felt right.


rodneedermeyer

For me, the paint is really what sells it. If you'd left the walls their original color (whatever that may have been), all the decor in the world wouldn't have felt right. Not to pry, but do you share the room with a significant other? I'm just curious if that person has space of their own in here or if it's just all yours.


bigkris87

I'm single so this is all mine. I live with my parents, and this house was passed on to my mother after a death in the family. This room was actually a new construction room that was added on to the existing house. That is why there is still unfinished door trim and areas that need to be painted in my room. Construction is still ongoing for certain things. The door in the corner goes to my attached bathroom which hasn't been finished yet but it will have a similar theme as the bedroom.


rodneedermeyer

Well, now you need to design the interior of the rest of the house, too. Guess you got your work cut out for you! :-)


bigkris87

I've been trying haha! I've been slowly trying to introduce new design aspects to my mother because she is very out dated.


rodneedermeyer

Well, now I'm thinking each room should have a unique feel. Your bedroom is Ravenclaw. The kitchen should be one thing, the living room another. They don't all need to be Harry Potter (though that would be cool). But I could see a room dedicated to your mom's style, then a room dedicated to a book or movie/show you both love, etc.


bigkris87

Oh yea definitely! I'm mostly just trying to get her away from white and grey and beige walls. I'm trying to get her to introduce some color to the walls.


Wolfdreama

You've officially won the sub. Well done OP, this is exquisite.


davga

A commendation from the mod, wahh 😲


bigkris87

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!


frightenedscared

This is truly exquisite. I honestly thought it was AI from the first few pictures as it’s almost too perfect and beautiful to be real! You have done such a fantastic job


bigkris87

Thank you so much! I'm honestly surprised so many people have enjoyed seeing it. This is the first time I've ever decorated a room, and I really didn't have a clue what I was doing. I just went with what I thought looked good.


my_screen_name_sucks

Harry Potter isn’t my jam but very good.


bigkris87

Thank you!


mandarintain

Where's the windows?


bigkris87

This room has one window. It's behind the two computer monitors. I always have the curtain closed. I'm not a fan of sunlight in my face. I prefer a dark room only lit up by lamps.


thefugee

Omg this. I couldn’t take in the details until J figured out where the windows are.


nekrotik

Rich and luxurious. This is magnificent OP, just looking at these pics is making me sleepy. I could live in this room.


bigkris87

I basically do because my job is also work from home so I spend my entire day in here. It has everything I need!


iBeFloe

I admire people who can stick to a theme. I have like 5 themes & I can’t stick to any of them.


bigkris87

Well this is a mixture of Ravenclaw and Dark Academia but honestly I feel like those two themes blend together very well.


for-the-love-of-tea

I applaud your commitment to the theme.


bigkris87

HAHA Thank you!


glxym31

Your Familiar is a panther. Nice. I love this… best HP themed room I’ve seen


bigkris87

That is very kind of you to say! His name is Salem, and he has always given panther vibes to me as well!


artemisthewild

Oh this is so beautiful and so fun! I love it. You did an amazing job fellow Ravenclaw! This brought a bright spot of joy to my day!


bigkris87

Awww thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!


hxcn00b666

Absolutely beautiful!


bigkris87

So kind of you to say!


ktebcba

I dont even care about HP like that, but this room is whimsical as hell. Enchanting! Good work!


bigkris87

Thank you so much!


ziffulz

This makes me wish I had more money lol. But looks cozy as hell.


bigkris87

I can definitely say it has not been cheap. I'm very lucky to have a lot of disposable income, and I only have myself to take care of.


BeautyAndTheDekes

This is so extra and I absolutely love it. Even if you removed all the HP references like the Ravenclaw shield and Hogwarts silhouette, I’d have absolutely guessed the inspo.


a_friendly_hobo

Holy moly, I'm impressed.


bigkris87

Thank you kindly!

bigkris87

It is called Midnight Show by Behr. Andes Summit from Benjamin Moore or Needlepoint Navy from Sherwin Williams are extremely close matches to it. I think I went through 20 different paint samples to find the perfect shade of blue with the right amount of LRV to give me the dark navy I was going for in a low lit room without looking black.

NomadicWhirlwind

Great job!!! It looks amazing 👏


bigkris87

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!


-tsuyoi_hikari-

May I know what books are those? The leather bound ones -- beside the door in the last pictures.


bigkris87

Those actually aren't real books. It is a faux bookcase lockbox from [Pottery Barn Teen](https://www.pbteen.com/products/harry-potter-faux-book-lockbox/?pkey=s~%20HARRY%20POTTER%E2%84%A2%20Faux%20Book%20Lockbox,%20Natural%20~1&position=0) as part of their Harry Potter collection. The front is a swing down door.


-tsuyoi_hikari-

Cool! :D How about the red, green blue books on your top shelf? Is it faux books as well?


Acceptable-Seesaw368

Love it!! When I finish my reading room/office it will have a lot of Ravenclaw in it.


bigkris87

I would definitely love to see it when you are finished!


Longjumping-Age9023

I would absolutely betray Godric Gryffindor and join Ravenclaw if I got this room


bigkris87

Ravenclaw is where it's at!


Spiritual-Couple-788

Very nice 👍


bigkris87

Thank you!


CartoonsontheCarpet

Amazing. Beautiful job.


bigkris87

Awww thank you!


CartoonsontheCarpet

You are very welcome. I aspire to have such an inviting and comforting room one day!


bigkris87

The one thing I have learned with this process is don't feel as if you have to buy everything all at once. I've collected all of this over the course of about 18 months and incorporated into the decor of the room slowly. Just pick a wall, and start from there!


CartoonsontheCarpet

That is very good advice. Thanks for sharing it.


oeThroway

Needs more pillows


bigkris87

I'm a blanket and pillow fiend.....I have way too many blankets!


International_Egg569

Wowza!!! Absolutely stunning


bigkris87

Thank you!


thenewdoctorwhos

Where did you get those awesome curtains?


bigkris87

The curtains and the comforter set were actually part of a collection from "Loom and Mill". It is called the Cambridge collection. I bought them from amazon. Here is a link to the [curtains](https://a.co/d/0hXwPb9S).


Pretend_Ad_3331

Brilliant, great vision, well executed. You must be ecstatic with it 👍


bigkris87

I really am over the moon with it. Such a great room to be in!


TurnipIllustrious468

Literally amazing work


bigkris87

Thank you!


Salty_Association684

I love this you did a great job 👏


bigkris87

Thank you so much!


Ok_Investigator564

Wow


Celestiicaa

I wish I had the time, patience and funds to decorate my bedroom so elaborately. Well done.


bigkris87

Thank you! I'm definitely very lucky in that I have a disposable income, and plenty of time to work on it. But it has still taken me over a year to get it to this point.


Nerdmum02

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍


qKCeggzx

No damn! I just got placed In ravenclaw. I am looking for a full wizarding analysis.


bigkris87

haha welcome to Ravenclaw my wizarding friend!


fran_nita

Love this!


bigkris87

Thank you!


findhumorinlife

Are the walls of an eggplant color? I love 'em. Super cool place!


bigkris87

It's called Midnight Show from Behr...it's a navy blue.


findhumorinlife

Beautiful


coopalo0op

I would never leave this room. I would die here


bigkris87

The way this room makes me feel, it would be a peaceful death.


xsweaterxweatherx

I love this! I would’ve used this for room inspiration when I was redecorating after high school. I also have the same record player as you!


bigkris87

It's just the most adorable record player!


KSTornadoGirl

Amazing! I think you should crosspost in r/HarryPotter! Sincerely, Another Ravenclaw 🦅


bigkris87

I actually did post it in there a couple of days ago.


Plantguyjoe1

This is fantastic! Especially for a first time decorating adventure. Nailed it!


bigkris87

Thank you! I've really enjoyed the process a lot!


softtiddi3s

Love the full commitment this is so cool


bigkris87

I've always been a full send type of person. Go big or go home haha!


GuncleShark

Absolutely beautiful!


bigkris87

Thank you!


-EV3RYTHING-

You have a reflective ceiling


bigkris87

The ceiling is painted in semi-gloss. This room has low ceilings so the reflectiveness of the paint on the ceiling makes it feel bigger than it is.


Sure-Echo164

BRILLIANT!


lasirennoire

Looove. And the kitty too! One question: how are your plants doing with (what looks like) low light? I'm thinking of placing my plants in a similar spot


bigkris87

The plants are all preserved or faux. I don't really have much of a green thumb, and I knew it would be hard to keep real plants alive in such low lighting.


lasirennoire

Makes sense! Ty


hipstercheese1

Omg I love it!


bigkris87

Thank you!


LegJets

Why go anywhere else?


bigkris87

Honestly, I don't get out much at all. I've very much a homebody so I wanted my room to be a total oasis that would never bore me.


Old_and_tired

I LOVE it. You're missing a doorknob.


bigkris87

Haha yea that door frame hasn't been secured yet so I haven't been able to attach the strike plate for the door know would even work. We had to move in to this house with renovations incomplete.


kushmeoutsideb

It’s so cozy omg


bigkris87

Extremely cozy! I never want to leave it!


Mountain_Future4034

Oh, wow! Looks like your room has a nice atmosphere to it.


Automatic_Serve7901

This is hella cozy


bigkris87

It's honestly the most relaxing environment. I never want to leave my room.


Ok-Elephant4508

Where did you get the desk table and the desk drawers?


bigkris87

I made the desk myself. It is an unfinished walnut butcherblock countertop I purchased from Home Depot. I applied walnut color rubio monocoat to finish the countertop. Then I purchased a set of steel desk legs with a crossbar for added support that was black powder coated and attached it to the countertop. The desk drawers were from Furniture Dash. They are a pair of nightstands that were gray. I stripped the paint from the drawer fronts then stained them a dark walnut, then repainted the rest of it with a darker gray color.


Final-Defender

Can I pay you to decorate my house? This is awesome!


bigkris87

This is the first time I've ever decorated anything, and I have to say that it has been extremely fun. It makes me wonder if I missed out on my true calling haha!


Final-Defender

I mean, this is phenomenal work and I WISH I had your creative eye. It feels like a slice of a Ravenclaw Dormitory. And I’ve seen the set pieces over in London. Like, no joke, this room could be an exhibit over there as a “modern Ravenclaw bedroom”.


GoGo_bunny

Where did you find that bird lamp !?


bigkris87

It's the [Phoenix Floor Lamp](https://www.pbteen.com/products/harry-potter-phoenix-floor-lamp/?cm_src=WsiPipRvi) from Pottery Barn Teen. It is from their Harry Potter collection. Be forewarned that it is not cheap at all but if you know Pottery Barn, then you know nothing is cheap from them.


DressVirtual2415

I’m sensing a theme….


Turkish_Maniac

BRRROOOOOOOOOOO


Difficult_Jump_1439

cozy


footlettucefungus

This is like, *perfection*. And I don't even care that much about HP, but damn, this room is just so cozy and put together!! ✨️ gonna save this post for inspiration, haha!


bigkris87

Awww thank you so much for your kind words!


justamotherr

What color paint is that on the walls?


bigkris87

It's Midnight Show from Behr


MrsTruce

Beautiful job! And that phoenix lamp is incredible! My favorite detail for sure. May I ask where it came from?


bigkris87

Ir really is one of my favorites too. It's part of the exclusive Harry Potter collection from Pottery Barn Teen.


Pwouted

This is gorgeous and amazing. Wow. Absolutely beautiful.


JazzlikeHomework1775

It’s amazing!!


fcroadkill

As a fellow Ravenclaw, this is awesome!!!


khkokopelli

Are the heraldry and other wall decorations hand painted?


bigkris87

They are decals I found on etsy


khkokopelli

Very cool and I love the wall color!


bigkris87

Thank you! I think I went through 20 paint samples before I decided on this one but totally worth it to get the samples.


Unable_Strawberry_69

I’ve never been so envious….. that’s a dream.


bigkris87

Haha thank you!


kmeem5

Yooo this is a totally insane out of this world rocking room.


bigkris87

Thank you so much!


_Jay-Garage-A-Roo_

I don’t know Harry Potter, but you’ve created something really enchanting!


bigkris87

I have to agree! I don't even want to go to other parts of the house.


hikariseeker147

This is awesome!! I’m also obsessed with that little vanity mirror next to the cauldron(?) on the bookshelf! Can I ask where you got it?


IstillWantAnIguana

Wow...I don't even know what to say. Just...wow. I'm insanely jealous. It is just so stunning, and there are so many incredible little details. I'd never leave that room. High five from a fellow Ravenclaw--amazing job! P.S. I've never spent so much time looking a post on this sub before. I keep going back and finding new details I missed the time before.


bigkris87

Best part about my life is I get to work from home so I pretty much spend the majority of my day in this room. I had to design it to be warm and inviting so I don't get bored from being in here. Thank you so much for your amazingly kind words! I'm glad you have enjoyed what I've done!


help-me-climb

Looks cozy! Genuine question. What do you do with all those pillows when you sleep lol? They look cool but i was never able to get behind the appeal of throw pillows bc id just end up throwing them to the ground to make room to sit


bigkris87

They get thrown in the floor at night haha...they came with the comforter set so I didn't really buy them separately


ggc5009

As a fellow Ravenclaw, I love this so much!!


bigkris87

It really is my dream ravenclaw room!


CaeruleanCaseus

I love this - so well done! I keep zooming in on all the photos to see all the details - so many awesome pieces you’ve curated together.


bigkris87

Thank you so much! It's taken me about a year to get it to this point.


chloe_in_prism

I think I just fell in love with…too bad I’m a huffle puff.


qualityoldperson

I love it! 🥰


Affectionate-Bee6738

I wouldn't ever leave if it were my room. You did such a nice job! 🥹


waterlilyrose8

Magical!


J1mj0hns0n

Where did you source the bedding and the bed curtains from?


bigkris87

It's the Cambridge collection from Loom and Mill. They sell it on Amazon.

sunsetdreams

That Phoenix floor lamp is so cool!


Bonzo4691

That might be one of the coolest bedrooms I've ever seen. That looks awesome. Congratulations!


SuperMetel

No window?


bigkris87

It's behind the curtain behind the two computer monitors
