As a compliment to another thread, could I ask members to post up photographs of their period internal decoration and design solutions.
Victorian / Georgian in a country style are of particular interest, but anything goes.
Thanks
Steve

Re: Show me your period decorative / design
I started a thread about a similar topic a while back. It probably isn't the one you are thinking of but here it is anyway. There are a few period photos of interiors taken around tha late 19th century in the thread.

Re: Show me your period decorative / design
PP, A very pleasing classic period decore. Any Victorian of means would be very comfortable indeed. Beth, you did a fine job of bringing a very period look to your previous home while being able to live in a very modern way. Really like your sitting room with the tapestry and the rustic fire place, it must have been very comforting on a cold rainy day. The laundry hanging in the kitchen to dry, you just can’t get any more period than that.
Here are a couple more pictures of our period decoration.
The dining room and the front parlour with what I believe to the original wall paper.

I don’t know if it counts as a “design solution” but I cover surfaces in elephants wherever possible
The occasional other animal sneaks in
