Romance Lives In Victorian Furnature

When a woman dreams of being swept off her feet, she often is lounging on an elegant settee or perched on a delicate chair in a garden. The Victorian era was all about romance, elegance and durability. Yes, things were long-lasting back then. No particle board and glue, my friends. Victorian furnature is solid wood made with exquisite craftsmanship.

The defining element is the beautiful carving and flow of the furniture. The arms and legs often are curved with floral designs carved into the wood. This reminds you of the sensual, flowing arms of a ballerina as she dances across the floor. The rich tones of the wood, usually mahogany or oak, invoke warmth while velvet and damask fabrics in colors such as eggplant and red speak of wealth or royalty.

Marble is used in tabletops and decorative elements adding to the richness of the furniture. With the variety of colors and variations in the veining, it can be cool and relaxing to deep and mysterious. Marble is also durable, moisture resistant, and timeless.4

Victorian furnature was often left in homes as each generation made residence in them. Additional pieces were added for each family’s needs. With the consistency in the design elements of the furniture over the years, the pieces blend together from era to era. Just like a true romance, they live forever.

When I think of romance with richness and warmth, I picture a room with delicate woodwork, lush fabrics, and warm tones. The bed has four posts with lace curtains. A settee covered in red velvet is by the window for stargazing and cuddling. Soft light comes from lamps with intricately carved legs and tasseled shades. A beautiful desk and delicate chair in the corner wait for the writing of a long love letter or secret notes.

You can bring romance to your home with the addition of a few pieces or a complete room change. Adding a chair to a room can change the entire feel of the space. The good news is that victorian furniture is timeless. Reproductions of pieces can be cheap to expensive depending on the quality and size.

My favorite source would be resale shops, estate sales and even curbside shopping. Amazing what some people will throw away. Because of the quality of the furniture, restoration can be easy and inexpensive. A good cleaning and new upholstery can bring romance back to your life.

The Beauty Of Victorian Furniture

The Victorians loved ornate furniture and many homes in the Victorian era were elaborately furnished. Much of the Victorian furnature was large, heavily decorated and comfortable. Queen Victoria ascended to the throne in the mid eighteen hundreds and she went on to rule for many years. The furnishings of Victorian times echoed a mix of Gothic, Greek, Renaissance and Rococo.

The Victorians liked chests of drawers and many of these large chests were created from luxurious woods and decorated with marble tops, leather and marquetry. Victorian armchairs were designed for comfort and many of the massive seats were well padded. During the Victorian era the sofas were also made for comfort and the frame of the couch was often elaborately carved from wood. The underside of the sofa was sprung and the seats and back were well padded and upholstered in fine fabric.

The Victorians dined in style and many dining tables of this era extended to seat up to twenty people. These fine dining tables were made from fine woods such as Mahogany, Walnut and Oak and many Victorian households had a pine kitchen dining table. During this era tables of all shapes and sizes became popular. In a Victorian home one could expect to see work tables, card tables and tables for holding the candlesticks. Many living rooms contained one or more Victorian tripod tables and these small tables were used to hold tea trays or potted plants.

Victorian furnature was grand and much of the furniture was ornate. The people who lived during that time were not afraid to use plenty of contrasting color and many of the soft furnishings were heavily embroidered. At this time the country was particularly prosperous and the furniture makers soon began to mass produce furniture to keep up with the demand.

A General Look: Victorian Lifestyle Fashion And Today’s Fashionista

1In the early 1800s, the Victorian lifestyle was indeed a lifestyle all in its own. Only if your husband was wealthy or from a family of wealth, then you and your family were accessible to the finest Victorian apparel made. However, if you were considered poor then your clothing apparel was limited to not only up to second or third recycled clothing but also only certain pieces of clothing could be worn. It is a comparative view at why many women in today’s society are glad we no longer live a Victorian lifestyle, especially when it comes to fashion.

The Victorian lifestyle was not looked upon as a fashion style like it is today, but a standard way of life according to your status in the community during that time. Victorian lifestyle by way of ‘dress’ consisted of only long dresses and skirts for women and girls. For the wealthy women of society, they wore beautifully patterned skirts with large hoops underneath to corsets that clinched their waistlines and dresses that bustled up in the back. They also wore matching aprons, shawls, bonnets, hats and carried the bags and umbrellas to match the look. Because there were no outlet stores or websites to order clothing from, each outfit was tailor made to fit each female body.  Therefore, the towns were full of tailors, seamstresses, milliners, glovers and hatters that were responsible for making all clothing and accessories to make every woman and girl look complete.

Today in the 21st century, fortunately fashion lifestyle is much more diverse. The clothing selections of every woman (and male) are not necessarily reflected upon your financial status or the amount of ‘moolah’ one family has in the bank, unless you want it to. In fact, with reasonably priced clothes and accessories, the availability of countless stores, woman can dress as if they are in whatever upper society they desire.  Mnay women today want to fit into smaller clothes like there styles but haven’t discovered garcinia cambogia to help them shed pounds easily. Every woman can follow the fashion trends and become a fashionista, especially because of the hundreds of different styles from colors, patterns and designs. So once there is no longer an issue with status quo, cost and availability, we can have variety and trend, the result can easily be fashionista!
