Victorian Pavilion with Brick Outdoor Fireplace
Beside a Victorian home with gingerbread trim, a covered brick outdoor fireplace features a raised stone hearth, surrounded by patterned tile flooring, wrought iron railings, stone urn planters, and potted hydrangeas.
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
