Decorating In The Period Style

Rich colours,


a riot of patterns and deluxe textures are the  essence of


neo-Victorian style . Unexpected   items


become   statement décor, so let


your imagination run wild !


Utilize New Victorian style


to create a remarkable


dining room , living room


or bedroom ,but be wary of applying a deeper colour


scheme in a small space- the result   might look 


cramped and oppressive. Know the key


pieces. A chesterfield or velvet sofa , or a


vintage-style armchair are the foundations ,


but the accessories pull this particular look together. Look for decorative book ends and animal


motifs. Choose the best shapes . From the swell of


a baloon-back easy chair to scrolled couch


arms or the arc of a bell jar, sweeping shapes are essential .


Use jewel


palettes. Ruby, amethyst and punchy peridot epitomise the modern Victorian look. Equally check out high-saturation plum, purple and mauve, balanced


out by burnished metallics. Add more different


textures. This look is high on feel-velvet, flocked wallpaper and worn


out leather all get together , accompanied


by darkish timber . Colour


your woodwork in a plendid wine red or plum colouring


to provide comfort and excitement


to the space . Merge revival products ,


distinctive antique finds plus your current décor to get


the contemporary feeling of this


look. Go with a vibrant


colour scheme like


ruby red and dark teal and make use of for carpets ,


seat covers and fabric as well as other extras such as scented


candles. There are tons to choose from however you cant go wrong with yankee candles or true grace candles. Try out dark polished


timber on the floor, and stunning


heritage tones on the walls.


In a smaller sized room , lighten


things up with paler greys and taupes on the walls .


Hang ~a more sophisticated wallpaper. Consider flock or damask showcasing complicated


floral designs or themes of nature either on


a full wall or, for a more traditional look, from the skirting board up to the


dado rail. The busy patterns can be toned down using designs in subtle shades,


while strong will make  a real impact in a larger room.|
