Victorians tended towards dark colours – reds and greens.

Paintwork was seldom white more often creams, greens, reds etc as colours need less upkeep than white.

Wallpaper was very popular in Victorian times – they loved lots of patterns on their walls and carpets/rugs (wooden floors with dark, heavy rugs were more common than carpets).

There was no heating so the dark colours were not only easier to maintain but also gave warmth to cold rooms. Open fireplaces were used and the fumes from the burning wood or coals would discolour rooms (another reason they chose colours rather than white).

Lots of family photos would be displayed – I think I saw some on the Dolls House Emporium – or you could have a go at making frames with silver or gold paper and attach a long thread to the back – Victorians had picture rails and would bang a nail into the rail and the pictures would hang showing the chain or string – you could use very thin ribbon or glittery thread. Try hanging two or three photos from one piece of ribbon, perhaps with a decorative bow. For photos you could have fun with family pics – crop them and print them tiny using sepia or black and white. If you don’t have a photo editing programme, have a look at a free one like Photobucket where you can upload photos and edit them with different effects (make sure you set your account to “private”).

Victorians had high backed chairs and beds and heavy draped curtains to keep away draughts. Metal beds were popular to deter bed bugs!

Victorians tended to have covers on tables etc and draped to cover table legs – as showing table legs was considered quite vulgar!

Kitchens would have had dressers and open shelves rather than the cupboards and fitted kitchens we have today.

Google the “Museum of Childhood” and have a look at the houses on their website (not sure which ones are on there now) and find some Victorian dolls houses.

Most of all, have fun and enjoy renovating your dolls house.
