A deep-purple tufted velvet sectional wraps a sunken seating area centered by a polished silver candelabra, while black stone tiles, textured pale plaster walls, blue-glass lantern sconces, a shimmering devotional tapestry, a carved stone gargoyle, and a pointed arch revealing a full moon create a moody, cathedral-like atmosphere.

A dramatic Gothic living room features a rib-vaulted ceiling, pointed-arch windows with emerald and violet stained, leaded glass, and a large carved stone fireplace with a roaring fire. Slate floors anchor a dark stone table surrounded by leather chairs draped with sheepskin, a carved wood chaise with a fur throw, a heraldic rug, wrought-iron lanterns, and gilded folding screens that glow softly against weathered gray masonry.

A dramatic Gothic living room set in a circular, stone-vaulted chamber with ribbed arches and quatrefoil windows glowing amber and green. A verdigris copper chimney tops a blazing fireplace, lighting weathered masonry and trailing moss. A moss-covered tufted sofa faces a fringed brocade chaise on a dark herringbone wood floor. Brass lanterns flicker by the hearth as a large green-scaled serpent coils across the floor for theatrical effect.
