Live Royally: Embrace the Castle Core Aesthetic
With countless fantasy novels, T.V. shows, plays, and video games depicting rich fantasy worlds with valiant knights, magnificent castles, and historical clothing, it’s no surprise that many seek to emulate this in their bedroom or dorm.
The feeling of being a princess exploring the winding passage ways of their castle is a fantasy that many want to live and sleep in. This blog will show you different ways you can bring that Castle Core aesthetic to your bedroom. Soon, you’ll feel like a member of a royal family in a fantasy novel!
A Frame Fit For a Queen
For a castle vibe in your bedroom, the bed frame should look as if it was made for royalty. Canopy’s are an easy way to create a look and offer a bit of privacy. Canopy’s can also be decorative with the fabric draped over the bed being festooned with florals or filigree.
If you want to go a bit more understated, then rely on the bedposts and backboard to give off a castle bedroom look. Bed posts should be carved into ornate forms and the backboard should be as well. Ideally, the best choice of material for a bed frame is wood to get a historic castle feel, but if that is unavailable, metal is a good second choice.

Colors of Royalty
Gold is always a good color to have in your royal color palette. It's association with wealth and nobility helps solidify the royal castle look we're going for. Silver is also a good choice if you want a more cooler tone metal for your room.
Purples, reds, greens, and blues are good choices when picking out colors. If you want a more girly look, pink is a great choice. Whatever color you choose, try pairing it with gold for a more noble look.

Bedding for A Noble
After getting your bed frame, it’s now time for the fun part: choosing your bedding! Now that you know which color you want for your castle bedroom, look for bedding in that color. Look for materials, designs, and textures that emanate historical royal vibes.
Tencel is a good example of a material that can help achieve that castle bedroom vibe. Its reflectiveness makes the bedding feel fancy. Velvet is also a great material. It has a luxurious feeling that can really make your room feel like it’s straight from a castle.

Decor Befitting a Lady
Little things like decor can elevate a room into looking like it came from a historical drama. Lamps, mirrors, photos, and rugs can come in designs that fit the castle core aesthetic and create a royal look.
A good place to look for decor items are antique stores. While the prices may be a bit on the higher end, you can find some unique pieces that will fit the castle core aesthetic. You can also look at estate sales and thrift stores to find cool decor or furniture.

Exquisite Art
Royalty and nobility are known to have rooms filled with commissioned paintings. Show your appreciation of the arts by decorating your walls with paintings, prints, and other art forms. If you want to go all the way and are not renting your space, you can paint directly on your walls!
If you need ideas for what type of art to hang on your walls, Baroque, Rococo, Renaissance, or Medieval art styles will definitely fit that European castle vibe. You can easily purchase prints or recreations online. If you have the budget, search for fine artists that paint in a similar style.
For the Art Lovers!
For the Princesses
This part of the blog is for princesses. The girly girls. If you like ruffles, lace, and bows, then this is for you. The same advice as above applies, but with a few tweaks. For a traditional princess look, including pink in your color palette is a must. Adding white and gold will help give it that royal look.
Use every opportunity to add lace to any part of your room. That goes for ruffles as well. To decorate your room, tufted furniture is always a good choice. So is a vanity with all your jewelry and self care items.
