Queen Victoria and Prince Albert bought and built their seaside home, Osbourne House, on the Isle of Wight in 1845 to fulfill the queen’s desire for a ‘place of one’s own – quiet and retired.' The cozy, eclectic, and romantically opulent interiors reflect this imperative; they are full of everyday joy.
Victoria and Albert's maximalist bedroom is upholstered in ruffles and tassels, bathed in pastels and florals. It is deeply decorative, with gilt frames and crown moulding lining the walls. The carpets are pink and yellow, endowing the space with an inviting, distinctly feminine feel.
