ING OOM

Victorian-style homes became popular during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and are characterized by Gothic influences and intricately designed woodwork. These homes often have pitched roofs, wraparound front porches, cylindrical turrets, and roof towers.

Victorian home decor is an ornamental and lavish style that represented high status during the Victorian era. ... Therefore, these highly decorated Victorian rooms contained opulent furnishings, tapestries, patterned wallpaper, rich colors, flowers, and sentimental pictures and drawings.

The floors of many large Victorian homes were in oak, maple, cherry, ash, birch, Brazilian cherry, and walnut hardwoods. The more affluent homes had hardwood floors inlaid with variously colored planks arranged in geometrical patterns. This branch of decorative art was known as parquetry.

Much like today, first impressions mattered in the Victorian era so it is understandable that the Victorians regarded the entrance hall as a very important part of their home. The space was used to demonstrate not only their wealth but their exquisite taste. Stained-glass windows and doors were one way to achieve this affluent look and when cared well cared for, or lovingly restored, they still look as impressive today.
