How to Decorate Based on Your Hogwarts House

Cozy couches, gold accents, and knit blankets are perfect for Gryffindor house; now put on your Weasley sweater and relax by the fire.

Because they're active and adventurous, Gryffindors often have gear (quidditch, anyone?) and messy shoes that need containing. A mudroom is a must have for members of this house!

Small accents of scarlet and gold keep the Gryffindor spirit alive throughout the home.

Tons of natural light and a plethora of plants make this dining nook the perfect spot for any Hufflepuff.

With an herbology professor as their head of house, you'd best believe that Hufflepuffs will have plants in every nook and cranny of their home!

Nothing is more welcoming to guests than a cheerful entryway, so a Hufflepuff-yellow front door is a great choice for members of this house.

Bright windows, comfy seating, and lush greenery are all a loyal Hufflepuff needs to create their ideal living room.
