Simple Hall Design Ideas

Along with space, Harry Potter and dinosaurs, one of the most interesting yet tasking party themes to plan and decorate is a medieval themed party. Whether the party is for a five-year-old or a fifty-year-old, the organizing remains the same. But the appeal of a medieval party is not restricted to the costumes or the food but also entails the decorations. One cannot have a medieval party in a modern household, with digital age appliances, modern furniture and fancy dishes. To decorate your home the medieval way, and take your party guests back to the time of knights, maidens and stone castles, you need the right decorative setting. So read on for some ideas for medieval party decorations.

A man's home is his castle, so for a medieval party your home should be converted into a castle straight out of the Middle Ages! For starters, divide your house into different areas of a castle. The living room can be the great hall and dining hall or the courtroom. Other rooms can be designated as the cloakroom, kitchen and likewise. Try to turn one room of the house into the dungeons! To maintain an authentic Middle Ages feel, you should put away all electronic appliances and devices. Try to use natural or candlelight for lighting the room or else just use 3-5 lamps instead of normal lighting. Below the expected decorating strategy for each room is explained.

The Entrance

Entry through any castle is through a drawbridge over a moat. Now making a moat in your house is not possible, so why not construct an archway out of cardboard boxes, so your guests can pass through your portals. And to add the medieval feel, position an announcer with a trumpet, to call out each guest's name as they arrive.

The throne room or the grand hall is supposed to be the most impressive room of your castle. Decorate accordingly. First, lay a long red carpet from the entrance to your hall for your guests to walk on. You can purchase a stone wall backdrop, which you can hang up like a wallpaper to provide that castle feel. A medieval tapestry or painting is another wall decorative piece. If you have any family portraits, you can hang them up too (if this is a kiddy party, hang them up high above reach). Every self-respecting medieval household has a coat of arms or a chest of arms displayed to its finest. So first you need to come up with a family crest design with your name and family motto on it. The crest should be displayed on a shield.

Banners, pennants, scrolls and even paper torches should be hung up as well. If you do not have the time to handle such art and craft work, then such decorations can be purchased online or locally, in the form of cutouts and pop-ups. A suit of armor is a standard piece in any castle, so look for this type of cut-out decoration in stores. In one part of the room, the throne or seat of the lord of the castle must be present. This is the seat of the person, in who's honor the party is being thrown, so a nice huge armchair or high chair should be used with cushions and decorated with gold trimming.
