Victorian Home The Grandeur And ComfortTo recreate the Victorian style of decorating may conjure up nightmarish visions of over-the-top, frilly curtains and heavy, depressing colors. Luckily, Ellen M. Plante reveals how to tastefully transform any room into an elegant and comfortable living space--frills are not compulsory! The Victorian Home is not only a beautifully written design guide to reviving rooms from this era, it's also a fascinating history lesson on the culture of the mid- to late-19th-century gentrified society in Britain. For this privileged class, the home was the "center of the universe, a safe haven from a rapidly industrializing society." Therefore, every chair, ornament, and light fixture was carefully chosen and exquisitely arranged to create a look of maximum opulence. Today, the reasons to "go Victorian" are much simpler. This look can be a lovely addition to any home--a look that is both timeless and elegant. The rooms photographed in The Victorian Home reflect the wonderful versatility of this era. Some rooms merely capture the essence of the period in the style of the fireplace or the choice of wallpaper. Other rooms duplicate the era in every minute detail, right down to the arrangement of dishes and cutlery on a dinner table. Throughout this elegant book are useful sidebars providing tips and techniques for Victorian decorating, and a comprehensive index of expressions and terms. Viva Victoria!
Create your Victorian style with classic floral motifs, lacy, romantic, even froufrou ornamentation associated with design during Queen Victoria's reign.
Your Victorian style should include: floral prints and rosebuds on the bedroom wallpaper, heirloom furniture and intricate needlepoint upholstery on the sofa, satin bags, beaded bottles, lace-embellished stationery, shell-encrusted picture frames, fancy gilded frames and picture rails, ornate candlestick holders and homemade potpourri.
