How To Decorate Your Apartment Like Each Of The ‘Game Of Thrones’ Houses

Whether or not you're a Game of Thrones obsessive (though if you're not, consider being one... there's dragons!), you can still appreciate the visual landscape of the HBO show, a stunning aesthetic feast, replete with riotous colors, evocative symbols and sigils, ornate jewels, flashing gemstones, sumptuous furs, rustling silks, and gleaming armor and weaponry.

These vibrant visual cues can all originally be found in the vivid descriptions contained within George R.R. Martin's series, A Song of Ice and Fire, upon which the show is based. Martin created a world in which little is subtle (other than Littlefinger's political machinations), and identity is very much aligned with aesthetic choices; the Lannister colors of red and gold are as intrinsic to who they are as is their house motto: "A Lannister always pays his debts." And the members of House Stark can always easily be spotted thanks to being cloaked in fur mantles and brooding about how winter is coming.

Fans of the series have their own strong identifications with individual houses; there's a reason those quizzes asking whether you're a Targaryen or a Greyjoy are so popular. So why not take your house loyalty to another level and decorate your own home like that of the Game of Thrones family with whom you most identify? After all, a person's home is their castle, and who wouldn't want to live in Winterfell?

HOUSE STARK

For these Northerners, home is where the hearth is—and that's a good thing, because it's, like, really cold outside. Make your own home winter-ready by cozying up under a massive faux fur throw and surrounding yourself with white wooden accents, creating a Godswood of your own right in your own private Winterfell.

HOUSE TARGARYEN

"Fire and blood" are the Targaryen words, and what better theme to use when decorating your home? Get into the spirit of the mother of dragons with moody art, wallpaper printed with a pattern as jagged as a dragon's wings, and a heart-shaped vase which serves as a reminder of the time Daenerys ate an entire horse's heart because the Dothraki don't have access to prenatal vitamins.

HOUSE MARTELL

Hailing from Dorne, the hot, arid land at the very bottom of the Seven Kingdoms, House Martell's sigil is a blazing red sun pierced with a golden spear on an orange background. An apartment inspired by this fiery family would be strewn with golden accents, bursts of sun, and, perhaps, a sand-filled hourglass as a reminder that one day, the Martells will rise again. Oh, and a really cool-looking vial for holding all the poison you'll need to off some Lannisters.

HOUSE ARRYN

The Eyrie is the lofty perch from which House Arryn rules the Vale, it sits atop a towering mountain, often draped in clouds and fog. Feel like you're up in the impregnable Eyrie by surrounding yourself with wallpaper evocative of a star-strewn sky, avian-themed decor, and plenty of art reminiscent of Eyrie's infamous Moon Door.

HOUSE LANNISTER

Would the Lannisters decorate their home in anything other than the finest, most ornate pieces, all meant to strike awe and even terror in anyone who dared visit their abode? Of course not. And neither should you. Decorate your home in wallpaper that demonstrates the importance of gaining the upper hand, vases that look like drops of liquid blood, and shiny skulls that indicate just what will happen to anyone who dares cross these lethal lions. And, of course, a glittery snow globe spelling out what Cersei and Jaime should maybe take on as the Lannister house's new motto. Roar.

HOUSE GREYJOY

Any home of the Ironborn promises to feel not unlike it exists in the depths of the ocean. Driftwood accents complement kelp-patterned wallpaper, greenery explodes from seashell planters, and twisted black coils evocative of a Kraken's tentacles support a coffee table. So though the Greyjoy motto is "We do not sow," implying that they never put down roots for long—on land anyway—if you decorate your home with these items, you might just convince Yara herself to stick around for awhile. Which would be nice, because she is very good with a knife.

HOUSE TYRELL

Though this house's colors are a gentle green and pale gold, and its sigil a blooming rose, it doesn't mean that they should be underestimated; the Tyrell matriarch is the Queen of Thorns, after all, and she can draw some serious blood. Thus, a Tyrell home will mostly feature the kind of furniture and accents best described as "pretty," though look out, there are definitely some thorns hidden among the roses.
