Victorian Brick Patio with Fire Bowl
Beside a green Victorian home with gingerbread trim and wrought iron railings, a brick patio inlaid with patterned tile features a metal fire bowl and a hot tub sheltered by a woven privacy screen.
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
