The walls of the drawing room at Wightwick Manor, near Wolverhampton, are hung with woven silk and wool fabric in the 'Dove and Rose' pattern designed by William Morris in 1879... Morris's interest in traditional craftsmanship led him to use only natural dyes, such as woad, indigo, weld and madder, with harmonious results.

Potter Manor

A while ago I came across these pictures, which I soon discovered were taken at the Wightwick Manor in Wolverhampton, UK, and they gave me an idea of what the Potter Manor might have looked like.

It's warm and welcoming, cosy but spacious; still, you can clearly tell that it's the home of a wealthy family, and it has some similarities with the Gryffindor common room. This is where I envision James growing up, where Fleamont and Euphemia spent their days, where Sirius finally felt at home.
