Victorian design refers to the decorative arts and architecture that flourished during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. This style is characterized by its ornate details, rich colors, and a mix of historical influences, including Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements. Common materials used include dark woods, heavy fabrics, and intricate patterns, often seen in furniture and textiles. In addition to architecture, Victorian design also influenced interior decoration, with an emphasis on comfort and elegance. Rooms were often filled with decorative items like brass fixtures, ceramics, and elaborate wallpaper. The overall aesthetic aimed to create a sense of warmth and sophistication in homes.
