What is Your 
Interior Catholic?

The Gothic Interior Catholic gravitates towards minimal color and minimal devotionals. Traditional Gothic architecture is intentionally designed to leave big, lofty spaces in order to create an atmosphere of wonder. In the home this can mean creating a sacred space which juxtaposes the rest of the busy home using few colors and items which offers a peaceful, minimal style.

The Renaissance Interior Catholic gravitates towards maximal color with minimal devotionals. This doesn't necessarily mean there are few images, but the images are centered on one specific theme (ex. Mary). Traditional Renaissaince style often uses many bright, vibrant colors with one big focal point. The Sistine Chapel is a classic example.

The Romanesque Interior Catholic gravitates towards minimal color with maximal devotionals. In traditional Romanesque architecture the spaces are spacious, typically made of stone and neutral colors. While the space is overall natural, it also aims to ignite the imagination by putting many pictures on the walls (typically Biblical scenes). 

The Baroque Interior Catholic gravitates towards maximal color with maximal devotionals. The spaces are often full, bright, and homey while also filled with holy images. Traditional Baroque style was a response to the Reformation, and aimed at emphasizing the vast beauty, traditions, devotionals, and narratives of the Catholic Church. One vibrant but pleasing color palette is often used to illuminate the space and the soul.
