The Victorian style at a glance
Victorian style takes its name from Queen Victoria, who reigned over the United Kingdom in the 19th century. It is all about abundance: dark carved wood, patterned wallpaper, velvet armchairs, fringed lamps and collected objects. Colors are deep, burgundy, bottle green or midnight blue, and soft light gives the room a warm, slightly theatrical atmosphere.
To adopt it today without overloading, choose patterned wallpaper for a single wall, a velvet armchair and one or two dark wooden pieces. Add fabric-shade lamps and a few vintage frames, and keep calmer areas so the room can breathe. With Redeko, take a photo of your room and see it in a Victorian version, with your walls and windows preserved.
Victorian style suits living rooms, studies and bedrooms. It sits close to dark academia and Baroque styles, with a more domestic, lived-in feel. A tall potted palm in a brass planter is a typically Victorian finishing touch that softens the dark woods.
