Victorian Terraces with Patterned Tile Steps
Brick retaining walls divide garden terraces leading toward a green Victorian house with gingerbread trim, featuring stone steps accented by patterned tile risers, black wrought iron railings, and flowering 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
- Three layers: canopy, shrubs, groundcover
- How hardscape and planting share the edges
- Plants suited to the climate, not just the photo
