The Victorian living room is a parlour: a room arranged for conversation, crowded with good things, and lit low.

What a victorian living room looks like

A tufted chesterfield or button-back settee in velvet sits on a patterned rug, with a carved wood coffee table and a pair of mismatched armchairs pulled into a circle. Walls are deep red, green or navy above a panelled dado, with heavy curtains, a gilt mirror over the fireplace and a mantel crowded with candlesticks and clocks. Bookcases, a curio cabinet, potted ferns and framed prints fill the remaining space, and lamps with fringed shades replace overhead light.

Try it on your own living room

Upload a photo of your living room, restyle it in Victorian, and send the result to whoever shares the space as a which-one poll. Then step inside the winner in 360°. Your windows, fireplace and seating layout stay put; upholstery, wall colour, rug, curtains and lighting are what change.

Details worth getting right

  • Arrange the seating in a conversational circle instead of facing the television
  • Ferns and a palm on a stand are period-correct and soften the dark walls
  • Cluster art in dense groups on one wall, since a single large print looks modern in this room
  • Light at three levels, a floor lamp, a table lamp and candles, matters more than the furniture you choose
