Victorian Decorating on a Small Budget

Here are a few victorian decorating tips:

Start with lace curtains. This will add a real feminine effect to the room. If the room doesn't need privacy, gather the lace through rods on the top and bottom and gather the lace close together. For privacy, use a plain white roller shade behind the curtains.

Paint your room to bring the Victorian era alive. Make sure you don't have too many varying colors. Try to stick with one palate: ruby, hunter green, deep mauve. These work together because they are dark colors.

Purchase your bigger pieces of furniture first. Then work on the smaller accessories. I suggest wicker since it is a small budget (wicker tends to be fairly affordable). You can also use oak which will really bring the Victorian feel to your home. But, don't use both wicker and oak – it won't work.

You can also use old family photos to create an antique effect. Try to find black and whites of your grandparents or other family members. You can also get old color pictures re-touched and antiqued at any camera store (or at home if you have a photoshop program). Use all photos in the same finished frame (all copper, all silver, all brass) for continuity.
