There isn\u2019t an easy way to setting up such an interior but with this guide, you should be able to make a charming Victorian interior. There are four basic elements to remember in this kind of design \u2013 pattern, color, romance and opulence. You are not creating Victorian out of boring, dull stuff.<\/p>\n<p>So what is Victorian style?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Queen Victoria\u2019s Style <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Victorian interior design is a broad term that is used in reference to the fashion, architecture and home d\u00e9cor features from the late Queen Victoria period. This is approximately from the year 1837 till her demise in 1901.<\/p>\n<p>Victorian style gets its inspiration from geometry, theory and nature. You are free to find from other resources, though. This encompasses other sub-style such as \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Eastlake <\/em>which was named so because of Charles Eastlake<\/li>\n<li><em>Anglo-Japanese<\/em> or <em>Aesthetic<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Gothic Revival<\/em> which is just the romanticized version of the Medieval Era<\/li>\n<li><em>Greek Revival<\/em> or <em>Neo Classical<\/em> assumes symmetrical columns of the ancient temples in Greek<\/li>\n<li><em>Egyptian Revival, <\/em>of course, captures the imagery and inimitable beauty of Egypt interiors<\/li>\n<li><em>Renaissance Revival<\/em> takes its inspirations from the <em>palazzi<\/em> and 15<sup>th<\/sup> century Florence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_2638\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2638\" src=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/12\/Capel-Incorporated-Floor-Coverings-Filigree-Rug-9225RS-Persimmon-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Capel Incorporated Floor Coverings Filigree Rug 9225RS Persimmon\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Capel Incorporated Floor Coverings Filigree Rug 9225RS Persimmon<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Victorian Elements <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Victorian home design means you should be ready to use a sophisticated palette. You must put emphasis on the tertiary colors. These hues are created by mixing primary and secondary colors. Dark colors are often associated with this style so you could go <em>gothic <\/em>and get away with it.<\/p>\n<p>The earliest Victorian homes showed light-colored walls while the ambience came with rich colors. The libraries and dining rooms were elegant and had deeper tones. The dark, deep tones are used to emphasize the importance of certain rooms.<\/p>\n<p>In urban areas, colors such as dark green, gray and grayish blue are used to minimize the grim effect of the dark surroundings. These hues <em>soften <\/em>the usual dark backdrop that is truly Victorian. Dark walls \u2013 back in the olden times \u2013 were used also to deviate the attention from soot and coal dust which come from oil and gas lamps.<\/p>\n<p>In choosing other colors for your Victorian home, you can also look for any subdued and warm color such as cream, mahogany brown or deep, rich walnut. Shades of teal, plum, mustard yellow, aubergine, rust, green, blue and gold are also usable. Colors chosen by modern homeowners often reflect organic colors such as rose ash and subdued lavender.<\/p>\n<p>Complex patterns often cover surfaces of Victorian homes. Use different wallpapers to cover your walls and to make them more fit for this style. Cover everything &#8211; from ceiling to walls \u2013 then be sure to use luxurious fabrics that have silk tassels, embroideries and trimming. Use rugs that come with intricate weaves such as Persian and Oriental rugs.<\/p>\n<p>Victorian style may be posh but it isn\u2019t supposed to be uncomfortable or excessive. Design with plush fabrics and with damask. Use them on your upholstered furniture and window treatment layering. Layer the rugs, too.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that Victorian is tantamount to flaunting wealth. You can mimic that further by adding fine wood panels on your walls, marble fireplaces, and some mass-produced yet still elegant paintings. Use elaborate furniture and accessories ranging from subtle to massive. Find ornately-designed lace, china, stained glass, busts, flower vases, souvenirs, prints, and accessories.<\/p>\n<p>Use replicas of electric lamps to perfectly accessorize your rooms. The results often vary per home but what are achieved \u2013 in the hands of a skillful designer \u2013 are complexity, sophistication, refined look, and a romantic setting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This may or may not be the first time that you encounter Victorian interior design but, definitely, it is a style that catches attention.
