Silver Pheasant

A Journey in Victorian Dcor

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. That said, just like the literary tradition of the romance novels of the day, it’s the subtle and romantic nuances that matter in the interior.

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 things like 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 variety of different styles, but those with floral designs are most popular.

Floral patterns were a love affair in the Victorian era, and they are the most common element in Victorian decor. Warm lighting creates an atmosphere perfected with stately chandeliers and elegant sconces. It’s amazing how updating (or backdating in this case?) 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. The table is set with fine silver. The linens are embroidered with tiny flowers.

The incredible Victorian napkin rings are complimented by distinctive knife rests an accessory that always draws comments from guests. Atop the gilded platter is an herbed roast pheasant, piping hot. Perhaps families would eat together more often if they could do so in such elegance.

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 common, as was cast iron fencing for its ornamental nature.

A Victorian yard would be incomplete without a birdbath, but also common were ponds, grazing balls, sundials, and lots of large flower pots. Sculpture of the period was a symbol 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 decor is incredibly easy. Without remodeling your entire home, a few Victorian accessories can dramatically change the atmosphere of your living space. Thank you dear reader, I hope you enjoyed out brief journey and do call sometime soon.
