Victorian Style
Decorating Victorian Style Defined
by Nicole Maddox
The Victorian era was a period of prosperity, optimism and richness. Named due to Victoria occupying the throne during this time, England experienced a huge amount of growth and increase in wealth as did the surrounding areas. This richness inspired an elegant and ornamental decorating style that aimed to boast ones wealth. As Britain experienced the industrial revolution, Victorian style and decor became more accessible to the middle class.
If you're looking to decorate your home or a room in the Victorian style or add a Victorian flourish or accent, but don't know where to start, don't fret...some helpful tips are listed below:
- Colors: Victorian colors can include light colors, however, most Victorian decor includes very rich colors, although subdued and warm. Colors may include shades like forest greens, wine colors, rust, purples, browns and golds.
- Start with a flooring that that represents the ornate look of the Victorian Era. If you opt for hardwood flooring, most traditional wood will work well (as long as you stick to darker or richer colors such as cherry) with the overall look once the room is complete, however, true Victorian style would dictate a hardwood pattern such as a checkerboard or diamond pattern. If you go with a carpet, stay away from really light colors and use a cut pile carpet or dense, thick carpeting. Oriental carpets/rugs are perfect additions to your Victorian Flooring. A popular Victorian option for wet areas such as a kitchen or bathroom may include black and white tile patterns.
- Hand-carved ornate dark wood furniture, such as cherry with fabrics such as velvets and embroidered materials are perfect for a Victorian room. Credenzas, side tables and coffee tables with marble tops or accents are also nice additions to this style of decor. Victorian Era furniture was/is often completed with details such as lace doilies, and embellished accent pillows.
- Wall and window coverings are also very important elements of the Victorian Decor. If you are using paint, be sure to use a Victorian color, but also add a faux pattern or texture, as texture was a very important part of Victorian decor in general. If you decide on a wall paper, pick a floral pattern that also fits the Victorian color palette. A Victorian room should be finished with a crown molding. Window coverings can be fashioned from an embroidered fabric or velvet material. These fabrics may be too heavy depending on selected wall covering and furniture. If this is the case a lighter material such as silk or lace may be used. Braided rope, or embellished ribbon should be used as a tie back.
- Accent pieces used to finish your Victorian Style Room may include artwork, such as oil paintings of the era (maidens, children, landscapes) framed in dark wood or gold, tapestries, and sculptures. Crystal pieces, ornate candles/candle holders and ambient lighting/lamps with beaded shades and Tiffany style or stained glass lamps will finish the room with an added richness completing your Victorian Look.
As an added word of caution, although the Victorian look is one that includes rich colors, texture and pattern, which creates a beautiful look, beware that you can easily overdo this look and end up with a room that is gaudy and overdone.
Use your own taste and instincts with what works together and you will have a room or house that will be enjoyed for years to come. Good luck and happy decorating!

Was there a different style before Victorian decor earlier in the 19th century?
Or does the term "Victorian" describe the whole 19th century style? Thanks!
Victorian is one of the most abused terms imaginable - - - quite honestly the term should only be used to describe BRITAIN from 1937 to 1901 the years of Victoria's Reign since she was a British Monarch! That the term is applied to American Architecture & Style Etc is actually quite wrong but like many wrongs it is apparently too late to change things. People's minds are set thus houses in San Francisco that were built of a certain style in the late 1890s are dubbed 'Victorian.'
That lecture aside - - - in BRITAIN the era is defined by the monarch's name thus from 1800 to 1837 the era is dubbed GEORGIAN for Monarchs George the 3rd and 4th with the breif reign of William the 4th from 1830 to 1837 conveniently ignored!
In truth in America more properly there were a bewieldering array of styles which is why people get lazy and call everything Victorian; a rough and I stress rough breakdown;
1800 to 1828 sometimes dubbed Federalist in honor of the new Nation of America, or more properly, Republican as in Democratic-Republican the era of the Virginia Dynasty plus J Q Adams... 1828 to 1840 - - - Jacksonian in honor or Andrew Jackson and his successor Van Buren....
1840 to 1860 gets dubbed ANTEBELLUM the era before the not so Civil War in America - - - -
1860 to 1870 for want of anything better is the Civil War Era & Reconstruction - - -
and from 1870 to 1900 one can use a nifty term, The Gilded Age which most properly began in 1880 but is usefull for describing the overly stuff heavilly ornamented styles in fashion.
In truth with INDUSTRIALIZATION and relative prosperity during the period 1880 to 1900 designers went on a frenzy of stylistic interpretations of the past with a few efforts at what was then modern; Neo-Classical, Neo-Federalist, Neo-Gothic, French Neo-Gothic, and one that gets unfairly ignored, Italianate - - - many of New York's finest surving buildings from the 1880s and 90s were Italinate which was a delightfully modern design for the times even while harkening back to an earlier 'Golden Age.'

DNLDSLK is correct I should have added 'Regency.'
