The Victorian Home is not only a beautifully written design guide to reviving rooms from this era, it's also a fascinating history lesson on the culture of the mid- to late-19th-century society in Britain.

Victorian rooms were usually full of pattern in rich colors on carpet, walls and
curtains. Embossed paper with dark woodworking, windows heavily draped with
lace curtains. A typical room of the period would be crammed full of furniture. Pictures and miniatures covered the walls, and every available surface would be filled with trophies, souveniers, lamps, vases, pottery figures, flowers and bric-a-brac and leafy green plants. An important piece of hall furniture was the stand to take coats, hats and umbrellas. Upholstered pieces included the ottoman, chaise lounge. Oriental rugs are ideal for a Victorian room, reflecting an interest in exotic places. Paisleys, too give an authentic touch. In the 1860s white and gold designs became popular for drawing rooms furnished in the "louis" style. |
