Victorian tiles in your home's hallway

The entrance hall is one of the front rooms of the house, so great care should be taken in its design. The hallway is the first thing visitors see. It is worth ensuring that it is represented by beautiful Victorian tiles on the floor.

Victorian tiled floors and decor

Around mid-century, tiled floors became a very popular addition to the Victorian home, especially in hallways and even outside the house to create a grand entrance and impress friends and guests.The development of manufacturing and mass production meant that in the mid-Victorian era there was a boom in home decoration, even among those who earned modestly. Geometric and encaustic tile patterns (where different colours were inlaid) became commonplace in even the most modest Victorian homes. Meanwhile, wallpaper became popular as a wall covering, available in a wide range of designs, from simple motifs to floral patterns.

Victorian  hallway

The hallway, just after the driveway, is one of the first rooms our visitors see. Victorian tiles work well with both wooden stairs and stone stairs. The Victorian style can be adapted to virtually any space, but the hallway and the pathway in front of the house will be the best place to lay such tiles. The hallway, like the driveway, can be heated.Nowadays, people tend to save money on the hallway, but according to Victorian rules this is not acceptable - since some uninvited guests still can't pass on, and everyone has to show their well-being, the hallway turns out to be another 'exhibition'. There will be a Victorian-style tiled floor, and to ensure that the person who comes in while waiting for permission to enter the depths of the house is not only not bored but can also rest, an armchair or even a bench is set up.

Victorian style interior

The Victorian style is characterised by a graceful, luxurious and opulent interior. An important point: you must combine colours correctly and only use high-quality materials. Accessories and painted objects will give the interior a real completeness. In a Victorian-style hallway, you cannot miss a floor made of top-quality Victorian tiles.
