Victorian Home Dûcor – The Roots
Excessiveness, abundance and over the top has been the basic concept behind the Victorian style. This was evident in the Victorian clothing style and the Victorian culture morals. Skirts were tailored to the maximum length with maximum fabrics giving the feel of fullness. Similarly, upright collars and wrist length sleeves were a trademark of the Victorian style clothing. This same concept was applied to home dûcor by adding the maximum amount of home dûcor items that were possible. Every house was decorated and accessorized to the fullest possible with lots of curtains and beautiful yet elegant embellishments.
Dressing your house
To dress your house in the Victorian style simply follow “the maximum, the better” concept. As per Victorian dûcor, the windows in your house are the most important part of the skeletal of your house. Use three full, differently shaded or designed layers of flowing fabrics for the curtains. Layers of white fabrics are the ideal choice since they allows light to pass even through so many multiple layers.
Additional accessories
After styling the windows, Victorian style furniture and accessories are the next focal points in the house. Furniture should be chosen based on its utility and purpose, followed by additional accessories such as embroidered or embellished lampshades placed in suitable locations throughout the house. You should dress up light bulbs in 2 to 3 layers of gold embellished white fabrics.
You should hunt for beautiful fabrics and decorative accents to dress your house in the Victorian style. This may take some time and effort but the result will be a romantic, attractive and inviting home.
