About this collection
Victorian Kitchen Ideas, explained.
Victorian kitchens draw on the era's love of decoration — cast and wrought iron, gingerbread trim, patterned tile and brick, conservatories, gazebos and glasshouses — set in gardens of roses, ferns, hydrangeas and clipped evergreens. The palette is deeper and richer than most modern schemes.
Notice how the strongest kitchen designs pick two or three ornamental moves and keep the rest calm. Save the ones whose ironwork, tile and planting match the age and colour of your house.
Victorian outdoor kitchens lean on ornament. Look for patterned brick and tile, a cast-iron canopy or gazebo, a brick fireplace with a decorative mantel, wrought-iron stools and fittings, and planting of ferns and roses close by. The counter itself can be simple; the ironwork and tile carry the style.
