Palette Warm, rich jewel tones of burgundy, purple, green, and blue dominate the gothic Victorian room, along with black and chocolate browns. The dark colors could also be accented with whites and creams, which can add to the drama of the decor. A wealth of patterns can be incorporated into this style, such as paisley, plaids, damasks, brocades, and stripes. A coordinating mishmash of patterns and solids make for a beautifully decadent Victorian look. Textures Victorians indulged their rooms with many different textures.
Soft velvets can combine well with light cottons and nubby woolens alike.
The more textures, the merrier. Musical Background Classical music, plus ambient gothic such as Cocteau Twins and Black Tape for a Blue Girl.
