With searches for Victorian decor rising by 850% in the last month alone, it is safe to say that Victoriana is having a bit of a moment.

If you’re a diehard minimalist then Victorian decor is probably not going to be to your liking. The era spanning the years 1837 to 1901 is defined by a dark and moody aesthetic.

It might also be tied to the grandmillennial interiors trend that’s all about nostalgia and looking to our grandparents’ traditional houses for home decor ideas.
