Harry Potter Series Themed Home Decor Ideas
HBO Max announces a new era of magic with a TV series based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling Harry Potter book series, revealing the boy-who-lived is coming to screen once again—surely this news sounds like butterbeer for Potterheads out there!
And if you’re looking forward to celebrating this occasion, redecorating your home to surprise your Potterhead friends and family can be a great idea. From the iconic Hogwarts Express, Hogsmeade beaming with the sweet aroma of butterbeers, to the green Quidditch fields, you can bring that vibe to life simply by putting up some posters of your favourite characters or fantastic beasts!
As HBO Max’s announcement suggests, the series is going to be a “faithful adaptation” of the books, and we’re in for this ride for a good amount of time. So, if you want to turn your home into a wizarding wonderland in the meantime, we can solemnly swear to give you some fun and creative ideas. Grab your wand, put on your house robe, and let’s get started!
Creating A Magical Entryway
The entrance of your home is the first impression for your guests, and what better way to set the mood than with a Harry Potter-themed welcome? You can start by welcoming guests with a DIY “Platform 9 ¾” sign for your front door, complete with the iconic brick wall and the Hogwarts Express waiting to whisk you away to the wizarding world. You can also create a wand display wall with floating shelves to showcase your collection of wands, complete with labels for each family member for that personal touch.
An Enchanted Living Room
The living room is the center of attraction, and starting with some Potter-themed wall art, floor mats, and even playing with the ambient light, you can transform it into a cozy, magical gathering place for your friends and family. Don’t forget to show off your Hogwarts house pride with themed throw pillows and cushions representing each house, and hang house banners on your walls. Also, you can create a corner dedicated to Quidditch with DIY Quidditch hoops as wall decor and Quidditch-themed throw blankets and pillows to add a touch of whimsy to your living space.
A Magical Kitchen and Dining Area
You can also add a magical touch to your dining room and kitchen with Harry Potter-themed aprons, oven mitts, dish towels, or even firewhiskey mugs. Spice up your dining table with house-themed dinnerware and cutlery, and create DIY house-themed placemats and table runners to complete the look. You can also add potion bottle-shaped salt and pepper shakers for that extra touch of magic during mealtime.
A Wizard’s Bedroom Retreat
Creating a bedroom retreat that feels like a cozy Hogwarts dormitory is easy with these enchanting decor ideas. Start with a four-poster bed with a canopy, using sheer curtains in house-themed colors for that magical touch. Also, add DIY nightstands with hidden compartments for storing your own magical treasures, and repurpose a vintage suitcase as a bedside table to bring in the Hogwarts feel. You can also incorporate house-themed colors, bedding, and posters to make your bedroom a truly magical sanctuary.
Mischief Managed
Harry Potter is not only a series but also the name of a distinct emotion for a whole generation. We hope you have fun incorporating these ideas while keeping a lookout for more decor tips and tricks, and remember—help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who deserve it!
