VICTORIAN WALLPAPER There's are an
awful lot lot of changes coming under the catagoryVictorian wallpaper,
partly because the Victorian era covers more that 6 decades. One 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.

PRODUCTION OF WALLPAPER IN THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION The coming of industrial revolution meant that wallpaper
became available to the general public. The advances in printing techniques
in the first half of the 19th century made possible the use of many
more colours.

keep it clean. It was not just grubby fingers and fireplace smoke
which were a nuisance to the house proud Victorian lady, fly spots

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