6 Victorian-Inspired Bedroom Ideas That Feel Classic Yet Modern

6 Victorian-Inspired Bedroom Ideas That Feel Classic Yet Modern

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary, and it should make you feel like royalty every night. While you may not be able to marry into the royal family, embracing elements of Victorian style can definitely make you feel like you are a queen. While Victorian style is definitely lavish and ornate, it's easy to embrace this late 1800s style in a very modern way.

For those who love the extravagant, Victorian style can be a great way to go a little over the top without creating a garish bedroom. But if you're into a more minimal look? You can still borrow from many Victorian elements to create a royal bedroom.

If it's time to take your bedroom to the next level, take a look at these Victorian-inspired ideas. Whether you want to add a few embellishments or create a more period-accurate room, these 6 ideas are perfect for your next royal makeover.

01 Keep it Classic

Black and white bedroomThe best thing about modern Victorian style is that it will never feel too trendy or outdated. So many of the elements are rooted in historical design that your bedroom will always feel classic and elevated. Pick a subtle, muted color scheme such as gray, black, and white to keep it traditional.

02 Try Wallpaper

03 Show off the Fireplace

Most Victorian bedrooms had a working fireplace. If you are lucky enough to have a fireplace in your bedroom (even if it is not working), make it the focal point of the space. Add a statement mirror so the eye is drawn to the fireplace as soon as you walk in.

04 Bring in Color

05 Add a Chandelier

Many Victorian bedrooms featured a chandelier centerpiece. You can opt for a more traditional period piece, or bring in something a little more unique and modern to contrast with the other Victorian elements in your space.

06 Add Sconces
