Victorian Decor: A Journey
Its whats inside that counts
Victorian architecture is known for its multiple roof lines, dramatic towers, and stately entrances. Those who are lucky enough to own an authentic turn-of-the-century Victorian know their homes can have a lot of curb appeal. However, just as in the literary tradition of the great romance novels of the time, it is the subtle, romantic nuances in the interior that truly matter.
Make a grand entrance
When standing at the entrance of a gilded Victorian home, you may be greeted by an exquisite door knocker, a hand-wrought device that makes the electric door bell seem tacky. You see, achieving authentic Victorian decor is all about the accessories.
There is a wide range of eras and influences from which Victorian decorating comes from, including classical, gothic, oriental and Italian styles, yet it has a character all its own. Maroon, plum, green, brass and gold were popular, and can be found in modern interpretations of Victorian accessories like wallpaper, furniture and more. Finer details include clever key holders, antique mail slots and leafy rosettes.
Get into it
The interior of a Victorian home is well composed, yet exuberant. From stately grandfather clocks to ornate crown moldings, everything is about order and elegance. The front room could feature an oriental rug. There are a wide variety of different styles, but the most popular are those that feature floral designs.
Truly, floral patterns were a love affair for the designers of the day, because it is the most common element in Victorian dcor. Warm lighting also creates the atmosphere with elegant sconces and stately chandeliers. It really is amazing how updating (or in this case backdating?) the lighting can change the whole character of a room.
Feast your eyes on this
In the dining room, Victorian dcor is so delicious. You may find colorful wallpaper with an abstract or floral pattern and accented with cherub curtain rods. Tables are set with fine silver. The linens are embroidered with tiny flowers.
The gorgeous Victorian napkin rings are well complimented by distinctive knife sets - an accessory that always gets compliments from guests. Atop the gilded platter is an herbed roast pheasant, piping hot. Maybe families would eat together more often if they could in such an elegant setting.
The great outdoors
In the back yard, youll find hand-wrought baskets brimming with fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden and lovely arbors overgrown with vines. Lawns were commonplace, as were cast iron fences for ornamentation.
A Victorian yard is incomplete without a birdbath, and ponds, grazing balls, sundials, and large flower pots were also common. Period sculpture was a sign of wealth. In the very least, a bench underneath the shade of a willow tree was a hallmark of the peaceful vibrancy found in Victorian yards.
Modern way to achieve classic style
Creating a modern home using Victorian dcor is an exciting journey of anachronism. The irony of recreating a bygone era is that the 21st century tools available on the internet make it all possible. Shopping online for Victorian dcor is easier than ever. Without remodeling your entire home, a few Victorian accessories can dramatically change the atmosphere of your living space. Thanks, dear reader, I hope you enjoyed this brief tour.
