For the color, you can use large printed or patterned wallpapers depicting elements of nature or floral or scroll patterns; Red, green and blue were the main colors.
Victorian furniture consisted of large pieces made of dark woods such as mahogany, walnut, rosewood and teak as well as oak. Chairs were usually covered in fabric that matches the wallpaper using fabrics such as damask, silk or thin leather.
The windows were decorated by fabrics such as voile materials with heavier fabrics such as damask, velvet and brocade, or light cottons, chintz and muslins use with heavily embroidered fabric.
Hardwood flooring, in medium or dark color, coupled with large Persian rugs, was common during the Victorian era. However, if you cannot afford a hardwood floor, you instead use good quality laminate flooring and select a wide board in a dark stain.
