There’s no place like home. Your home is your
sanctuary. It’s the one place in the world that
you should be able to rely on for comfort. With
that being said, the way your home is
designed and decorated should complement
your personality and interests.
If you’re a huge fan of the Tudor period then
you may find an interest in accenting your
home with Tudor-inspired decor. Give your
home a unique feel that sets it apart from the
typical household—after all, it’s your house!
It’s allowed to have character, right?

3. Tableware
Tudor period tableware serve both function and fashion. Add to the
feel of your homes and amuse yourself and guests on a daily basis.
• Lead-free pewter tankards are great for adding
a functionality aspect to the Tudor-accented
design of your home.
• Many tankards have a capacity of 16 oz.,
which is enough to hold a full pint!
• Pewter is considered the world’s fourth most
precious metal after platinum, gold, and silver.
• Unlike silver, pewter does not require polishing
or any other special care. It does not rust or
tarnish over time.

4. Stationery
―Details matter, it’s worth getting it right.‖ – Steve Jobs
• Stationery can be cleverly used to accent
your home with sprinkles of detail.
• Since stationery is typically cost effective,
having a variety of stationery can help add
some subtle excitement for yourself as the
designer as well as your guests.
• While it very well can, stationery doesn’t
need to sit around and do nothing. Along
with dressing up your dwellings it can also be
used to write letters and notes to friends that
brighten up someone’s day.

5. Flags and Banners
Add some character to your walls or even outside on your
front porch!
• Banners and flags can be used to
decorate not only the interior
landscape of your home but the
exterior as well. It can really add to the
character of your front porch and
backyard by contributing a fantastical
element.
• Variety is not an issue when it comes to
flags as there is a wide array of both
historic and heraldic styles to choose
from.

6. Tapestries
Natural. Handcrafted. Woven. Grand. Decorative.
• Tapestries are large, beautifully crafted pieces of
woven artwork that can be used to decorate the
interiors of a home. Typically these are placed
along a large wall or draped over a banister in
large foyers, but that doesn’t mean that you need
to be limited. Let your imagination free!
• Tapestries may come with steel sleeves for
hanging.
• Can come in a variety of sizes but are typically
fairly large, which adds to a sense of grandeur.
• Usually made of chenille, cotton, and viscose.

7. Toys and Games
Something that the whole family can enjoy!
• Tudor period games are not only a
cool novelty, they’re also fun for
friends and family, from adults to
children.
• Can be used as decorative pieces
placed in shelves, bookcases, coffee
tables, and more.
• There are plenty of Tudor period
games to choose from.
• Get a glimpse of what it was like to
