One just has to recall the different designs that evolved from 1940-2000 to understand the profound changes in design that occurred during the reign of Queen Victoria The Victorian era was an era of great technical advances. The best place I found to go to learn about Victorian Wallpaper and Home Decorating Victoria and Albert Museum Website Click to go there SANITARY WALLPAPER From the 1850’s on wallpaper manufacturers were seeking a way to make waterproof wallpaper. Various varnishes and other concoctions were used to coat certain wallpapers in order to make them washable. These became known as ‘sanitary wallpapers.Naturally, bathrooms, kitchens were the rooms most often papered with sanitaries, but such papers were also widely used in halls, passages and staircases. click for a fullpage Above is a good example of' sanitary Victorian wallpaper Links for Victorian Dollhouses and Furniture The Magical Dollhouse.

The advances in printing techniques in the first half of the 19th century made possible the use of many more colours. Printing from engraved rollers allowed for fine detail and shading manufacturers had been unable to achieve with the old block printing.This, of course, paved the way for designers to create more complicated, and in some cases, more garish wallpapers. There were many critics of more gaudy wallpapers that had become so prevalent around the middle of the century Above is a good example of the overly garish and 3 dimensional mid-Victorian wallpaper click for a fullpage IS THIS WHAT THEY MEAN BY FLYPAPER? One big problem with Victorian wallpaper was how to keep it clean. It was not just grubby fingers and fireplace smoke which were a nuisance to the house proud Victorian lady, fly spots were a horrible problem too. More than one manufaturer began to produce wallpaper with patterns that contained lots of tiny dots. The theory here being that the fly spots would just blend in with all the other dots. To we who live in the 21st century, this sounds very nasty indeed, but let us remember, Victorians were not famous for cleanliness. back to doll house wallpaper menu A Beautiful Victorian Drawing Room Click here to see a bigger picture A Late Victorian Room from Wallace and Co. click here to see a large picture CHECK IT OUT NEW !!! jensprintables3 Lots of new dollhouse wallpapers	.

Decorating History Repeats Itself These ornate Victorian decorating trend reminds me of the 1980's. Our tastes in the 1980's were much more ornate and busy than they are now in 2012. The curent trend is for homes to be more minimalist. Gone are the fancy borders with one wallpaper above the border and a different on below. Oh My. They looked so busy On top of that we were partial to lots of silk flower arrangements and layered window treatments. It would seem that we humans like drastic changes. The Victorian heavy styles gave way to a new look in the early 1900s to 1920's where a light and airy look was more favored. Gone where heavy velvet drapes and overdone upholsteries. Sleek lines and smooth surfaces emerged in furniture design.

This Victorian Parlor can be seen at the D. H. Lawrence Birthplace in Nottingham UK. It replicates the house where D. H. Lawrence was born in 1885.
The parlor is typical of working class houses from that era.
It reminds me a lot of my Granny's living room, including the dog ornaments on the mantelpiece, fireplace itself, the chair in the foreground, and the heavy [velvet?] table covering. I am remembering my Granny's house in the late 1940's, so it definitely was not the Victorian era. She and my Grandfather married around the turn of the century though, and they had a lot of children, so it is quite probable that they had the same furniture for all their married life.

Lay patterned carpets with a faded grandeur, leaving a border of polished floorboards.

Floorcloths, a canvas painted with oils and many layers of linseed oil, can be used for less grand rooms.

Tiles - for areas with heavy traffic, such as halls and kitchens, the best flooring is encaustic tiles (where the pattern is baked on in a kiln).

Rich dark colours such as ruby reds and forest greens are typical. The Victorian colour palette was quite limited because chemical processes were still developing. Purple and blue came in by the middle of the century.

Fabrics - highly patterned. Use velvet and damask for the winter and exchange with muslin, cottons and chintz for the summer.

Paint - the Victorians liked their paint effects. Try faux marbling, stenciling, and stippling surfaces, borders and wood. Woodwork - stain it dark. If your skirting boards have been ripped out, replace them with new ones. Victorian skirting boards were particularly deep, about 30cm high and 4cm thick.

Fireplaces - ornate and ostentatious and mostly cast iron, although wood can also be used. Fabric is draped rather dangerously from the mantelshelf.

Molding - made from papier maché and stuck on rather than being an integral part of the wall

Large ceiling roses are essential but for other decorative molding's (corbels, cornices, etc) any style goes from Gothic gargoyles to rococo scrolls and feathers to classical urns and swags. Paint them the same shade as, or one tone darker than, the ceiling.

Runners suit a Victorian hallway and stairs. Look for ones in plain colours such as red or green or with a contrasting stripe. Paint or stain the outside treads a dark brown.

Opt for brass, cast iron, pewter and tin light fittings.
