Hampton Court Palace – Dining Room

Tudor wooden carvings decorate the tall ceiling of the palace dining hall. Large arch shaped windows with colourful stained glass surround all of the walls, which are bright and colourful. Massive colourful tapestries showing biblical stories hang on the walls. A shiny wooden floor have several tables arranged in an orderly fashion around the room with a large table at the furthermost part of the room, which is where royalty would have once sat.

Stained glass windows and Biblical tapestry

Continuing with my day at Hampton Court, I felt very inspired by the colours and textures shown in the portraits that were all around the palace. The fabrics on the furniture and drapery were amazing, especially the massive tapestries depicting scenes from stories in the Bible.

Here’s a picture of some of the tapestries, showing their sheer size and amazing colours that contrasted beautifully with the detailed wooden ceiling. This picture was taken in one of the biggest rooms in the palace, the dining room.
