Decorating In The Period Style - By: ranigagnon3082

Rich colours,

a riot of designs and lavish textures are the basis of

neo-Victorian design . Unexpected items

turn out to be statement décor, so just let

your creativity run wild !

Work with New Victorian design

to create a spectacular

dining area , lounge

or bedroom ,but be wary of using a dimly lit colour

scheme in a modest space- the end

result could appear

cramped and oppressive. Be aware of important

pieces. A chesterfield or velvet couch , or a

vintage-style armchair are often the foundations ,

but the extras pull this kind of look together. Try to find ornamental book ends and animal

motifs. Select the right designs . From the swell of

a baloon-back seat to scrolled couch

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

Opt for jewel

palettes. Ruby, amethyst and punchy peridot epitomise the New Victorian look. Furthermore look

to high-saturation plum, purple and mauve, offset by burnished metallics. Include texture . This look is high on feel-velvet, flocked wallpaper and worn leather all come together , complemented

by dark wood . Color

your woodwork in a rich burgundy or plum shade

to add warmth and drama

to the room . Blend revival items ,

unique classic finds along with your existing décor to capture

the modern mood of this

look. Select a rich

colour palette for example

ruby red and dark teal and use for rugs ,

pillows and fabric along

with other accessories like scented

candles. There are plenty to choose from but you cant go wrong with yankee candles or true grace candles. Try dark polished

wood on the floor, and spectacular

heritage tones on the wall surfaces.

In a more compact room , brighten

things up with paler greys and taupes for the wall surfaces.

Hang ~a more sophisticated wallpaper. Look at flock or damask showcasing delicate

flowery shapes 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.|
