Well… that could involve a lot of over-decoration with elaborate design features. If you look at pictures of actual Victorian drawing rooms… it’s a lot. There is a LOT happening there for people who are accustomed to more modern taste. For me, it’s too cluttered and claustrophobic. Look at images of “modern Victorian design” and you’ll see a scaled-back version. And realistically, that explosion of stuff was fairly limited to people who could afford to buy it. Single men wouldn’t have had doilies everywhere, and of course not all women were into their homes dripping with red velvet. It’s worth trying to suss out what you specifically like about the aesthetics. Are you into the lacy “romantic” concept? Liking dark, heavy wood? Dreaming of bed curtains? Gothic grandeur? For the most part, furniture is furniture except houses didn’t have closets. You would have had lots of folding/stacking of clothes or using a wardrobe. Not for nothing— my parents hid their TVs for years. One was in a large Chinese cabinet and another in a closet recess. Nothing wrong with disguising the giant black square. More on reddit.com

This is eclecticism/mash-up in my eyes, I never heard of "modern Victorian". Maybe it's a thing in the US, but I'd consider it a marketing name moreso than an actual style. Nice floor and chairs, the dining area works well with that sill/bench, but the mirror and the ceiling is a big clash and doesn't work at all imho. More on reddit.com

They would have called it the Parlor back then. More on reddit.com

A full album of the renovation can be found here A lot of the choices taken from Instagram accounts with similar aged houses. I wanted to retain/ be sympathetic to some of the original Victorian character of the property (fireplace is original), whilst adding a little modern flair. Hence adding back the picture rail, plaster coving (Crown moulding for you US folks) and a ceiling rose, but making the light fitting a bit more of a modern juxtaposition. Floorboards are near 130 years old, just sanded and coated - no colour added. Cupboards and shelves were built by hand, taking queues from existing cabinetry in the property. More on reddit.com
