No. 101 Fire & Spa · Victorian
Gas Fire Pit on Patterned Tile Patio
At night, a circular stone gas fire pit illuminates patterned tile and brick paving, surrounded by wrought iron seating before a Victorian home accented with gingerbread trim, warm lighting, and porch string lights.
Design notes
Victorian design is layered and ornamental. Look for wrought and cast iron in railings, gates and gazebos, patterned brick and encaustic tile, urns and fountains as focal points, and rich planting of roses, ferns, hydrangeas, hostas and clipped evergreens. Porches with gingerbread trim and painted colour schemes set the palette; the best gardens choose two or three ornaments and let the planting carry the rest.
What to look for
- Conversation-distance seating all the way around
- Setback from structures, fences and branches
- A dry, lit path back to the house
