Decorating ideas for a medieval bedroom?




My husband and I are making our bedroom into a medieval theme. We’re going to put rock/brick style tile board to make the room look like a dungeon, we have metal candle lanterns for lighting, and have a medieval style knife/sword and a mace. I’ve looked at bondage websites for torture type items to hang for the medieval look and plan to put metal bars over the windows. but I’m looking for more ideas of what to do, especially when it comes to furniture and fabrics. I’m not sure what type fits into the style. I also like antique style furniture, so I didn’t know if I could use antique (early 1900/late 1800 style) style furniture and it look okay. Thanks for all your help
The bars with have hinges so we can still access the window, and open/close them if we want.
We don’t plan to sell the home.

I kinda don’t like their quality.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, some of them are actually durable and long-lasting but a lot of them (if not most of them) you have to assemble yourself, they break and just don’t last long…

But you know, I like the whole modern "Swedish/Scandinavian" style furniture and all that…

Provided money wasn’t an issue, where else (besides IKEA) in America can I find Scandinavian style furniture (bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen, etc.) that’s durable and last long?

Thank you. =)
