“People want to feel nested and cozy in their homes and there’s nothing better than a Victorian look to convey warmth,” said Lynn Skynear, proprietor of Skynear and Company, a home-furnishing shop housed in an 1890 red brick, steepled Victorian house.
The Victorian look is heavily layered with pieces everywhere. Walls are painted and bordered or covered with wallpaper. A bay window maybe filled with a vignette of ceramic and copper pots overflowing with dried lavender. Floors are topped with thick carpets; fringed and tasseled drapes hang over windows; and, cashmere throws mix with cushions in silk and velvet on the couch.
