Victorian Style

by Judith H. Miller, James Merrell (Photographs)

Here is a fascinating visual survey of the eclectic, richly decorative, and always popular Victorian era. Each aspect of domestic style receives an in-depth examination, from exterior details to every element of the interior, with special emphasis on décor for individual rooms. An authoritative text explores the historical and social background behind the period’s look, and there’s a wealth of inspired ideas that home decorators can tailor to fit any house, budget, or lifestyle.

The pictures were beautiful and there was some good history and advice. However, I found my mind wandering while reading so how the materials were presented was not always engaging.
