MILLER’S BIG STAR
Victoriana with fabric
To recall the feminine side of Vic-
toriana, use lace. Curtains, pillows,
table overlays, and bedspreads
made from white, ivory or ecru lace
add that feminine touch.
For a more masculine Victorian
flavor use richly colored and pat-
terned fabrics and wallcoverings
such as paisleys. Installing gracious
floor-to-ceiling draperies and
repeating the pattern on the wall
with wallcoverings and borders will
create a dramatic Victorian
background to any room.
With just these simple additions of
fabric and wallcovering, a 19th cen-
tury mood can be created.
As homeowners seek to recreate
the creature comforts of bygone
eras in their homes, more and more
are turning to traditional and Vic-
torian looks. Few, however, want a
truly authentic Victorian interior.
Pictures in heavy frames, fringes,
tassels and tables dotted with collec-
tions of porcelains, crystal and
silver...it all sounds fussy and dusty.
