Description

The interior of 12 Grimmauld place is in an interesting state of… repair. While there are signs here and there of neglect the house has largely been left in, much of the house, especially in the more often used sitting rooms and parlors of the lower two floors, has quite obviously been recently renovated, cleaned, and redecorated. The walls have been covered in rich new fabrics of deep green and silver silk damasks, the floors refinished in brightly polished ebony and patterned marble tiles. Though the often low lighting can easily make the tiles to be black and white, closer inspection will reveal that they are in fact white and a very deep green in color.

Black marble sconces shaped like human hands hold candles along the walls of the foyer, stairways, and halls to provide light. In each of the larger rooms, such as the formal sitting rooms, a black crystal chandelier provides light. Sofas and chairs upholstered in satins and silks furnish each room, most of these black with silver accents. Heavy drapes hang over the high windows, their thick silks and velvets nearly completely blocking sunlight when closed. The halls and stairways hold portraits of Black family ancestors, most of them looking on with stern and disapproving expressions or venturing to offer an opinionated comment on what they see. Gilded silver and black mirrors.

The upper floors, which primarily hold the bedrooms and private sitting rooms of the family members, have had less work done to them. The halls are much as they are on the lower floors, while the bedrooms themselves are in varying states of repair. However, though work not yet begun in every room, one thing is consistent throughout the house. Each room is impeccably clean, no matter how old the furnishings or wallpaper.

Lucretia and Walburga's Bedroom - 1st Floor

Similarly furnished and decorated as the rest of the residence, this room has two single beds although the two sides of the room are slightly different in taste. Judging from the decorations, the two occupants are students at Hogwarts. In the middle of the room by the corner is a small table that have a few school books stacked and on the middle is a small chessboard with a game that seems to be on pause, no doubt the occupants playing whenever they're here.
On one side of the room, there's a violin case resting on a cushioned chair beside a silver music stand with a few sheets of music displayed. On the other side of the room, an antique silver and ebony wood telescope on a tripod stands at the foot of the bed.
