Victorian House Decorating Ideas

Victorian house decorating –  Lavender, yellow, pink and light blues could be found on every block, and were often paired in twos or threes, giving the outside appearance of the dolls. The White House was also present, but less common, and often featured dark wood trim.

Floors and walls

Victorian house decorating colors were very different from the exterior colors. Walls often featured prominently wood and plaster casting, with the usual white walls. Intricately patterned wallpaper in colors like gold and tan were also popular. Most Victorian house decorating had little or no carpets. Wooden floors were common and large Oriental rugs in deep, rich tones used instead of permanent mats because they were easier to clean.

Improve a wood floor with an elegant Victorian carpet that will become the focus of the space. Choose a large wool rug with a dense pile and intricate details. Select a mauve, burgundy and ecru-colored rug featuring pink bouquet designs for a romantic look. Choose a richly patterned carpet with gold, deep orange and chocolate brown tones for a refined, classic look. Place the rug in the middle of the room to set off the furniture.
