Decorate a Victorian Bedroom
Queen Victoria favored abundantly feminine and ornate decor during her reign in the 1800s, lending her name to what we call Victorian decor. This decor caught on and decorators still use it today for feminine or formal rooms, such as bedrooms. Decorate your bedroom in Victorian style if you want a heavily decorated, frilly space that's soft and feminine. Victorian bedrooms can work for couples as well, if you use a few neutral colors or blues to offset the frilly and floral patterns. Does this Spark an idea?
