Victorian Home Decor

Nothing defines Victorian Style like Victorian Home Decor... from Sofas to Chairs to Antique side tables. Victorian Home Decor can add elegance and style to your living space.

Wall color is a an important aspect in Victorian Home Decorating. If painting your walls, consider dark colors that mesh with the rest of the room accessories. If you prefer wallpaper instead of painting, look for strong colors and patterns that give off an antique feel. If the idea of painting your walls a strong dark color scares you, use a lighter white or cream and bring in your strong colors in the accessories you select.

Flooring is often hard wood with the use of Victorian style rugs. Victorian rugs tend to be highly detailed and full of deep rich colors.

Furnishings would obviously be Victorian in style. A Victorian sofa is a very common element seen in Victorian Home Decor. Victorian sofas have detailed wood accents on the arms, legs, and back and commonly use button and tufted upholstery. Chairs have a similar feel to the sofa, detailed wood accents with button and tufted upholstery. Look for antique side tables and lighting to finish off the furnishings.

Accessories can take your Victorian Home Decor style to a new level. Look for old antique artwork and frames, black and white photos that have faded a bit, and detailed mantel clocks. Shop for unique and interesting antique accessories. A few antique vases with flowers that match your wall colors quickly tie in your room design. Victorian window treatments almost always use heavy layered drapery. Select fabrics that flow with the rest of the furnishings and wall colors.
