Victorian design was born in Europe, precisely in England, during the reign of Queen Victoria. Therefore, this style is referred to as Victorian style. The golden age of this style of course lasted throughout the reign of Queen Victoria. More or less took place in the period of 1837 -1901.
Therefore, Victorian design is not a style that is immediately born just like that, but there is a big role from the movements and other design styles that helped in the birth. Broadly speaking, this design style cannot be separated from the influence of the Art and Crafts Movement, Aesthetic Movement, Art Nouveau, Gothic, Asian and Middle Eastern decorating styles and Anglo-Japanese style.
But its development continues to the present. Also accompanied by its influence that spread to the continent of Asia. Victorian design is actually more talked about as a form of celebration of decorative styles that have eclectic or flexible properties to the previous decorative styles.
The character of Victorian design is very strong on aspects of regularity and the use of proportional decorative ornamentation. If you see the application in residential interiors, this style tends to divide the occupancy into boundaries that have their own functions and identities. This character basically borrows the characteristics of Rococo interior style.
The room that functions for the public and the room that is privacy is seriously separated. The living room as a public space is the main focus of attention, while functioning as a space that shows the identity or capacity of the owner of the residence. Therefore, in a room that functions as a banquet room, it must be filled with objects and decorations that represent the owner of the house.
Meanwhile, the dining room is the second priority. Because in this space it becomes more intense. This space must also be filled with objects such as tableware and buffet buffets that have a luxurious impression. In addition, this space must also be decorated with the best decoration of furniture decorations.
