Victorian Curtains: Elaborate Velvet Victorian Curtains Suit Many Homes (But Not All)
Since the years after the Civil War, when the Victorian style came into being, Victorian curtains were synonyms for luxury and good taste. Of course in the summer they were replaced with lace curtains, but in the fall and winter they were essential part of windows decoration.
Victorian curtains were not only elegant privacy guards, because of the heavy fabric they were made of, they also served as insulation for the windows.
For many years they were used only in Victorian- style houses as a part of necessary decoration, but in the late 20th century this has changed. Today you may find Victorian style curtains even in an ordinary apartment or tract home. Perhaps they do not look as good as on the Victorian-style windows, for which they were designed, but still they give some nobility to room in which they are hanging.
Of course they look better when placed where most of the furnishing are also Victorian style, but some courageous designers use them even in modern style homes or offices. |

Situations to avoid:
Victorian curtains often make room darker, due to the heavy fabric they are made of. When you decide to use such curtains and your windows are rather small, buy light colored fabric, preferably a shining one, to make room brighter. Avoid dark colors of Victorian curtains in small rooms, because they will dominate the whole place. Remember, that such curtains are not easy to clean, so hanging them in the kitchen or in the bathroom is not the best idea.
