If you are someone who owns a Victorian house, then you already have the charm that Victorian houses bring in, with the detailed artwork, aviating ceilings, woodwork and so on.

We can keep talking about the charm that Victorian houses have and it would not end. But, the renovation of Victorian houses is not a cakewalk for the painters and decorators, and the layout of Victorian houses does not even suit the modern-day layouts.

However, every homeowner has different choices and needs. But, here are some of the things that you can opt for while renovating your Victorian house.

 

Extension

Building an extension to the Victorian houses is a great way to add additional space and also reorganize the layout of the house.

The design of the exteriors of the Victorian houses can be in contrast with the Victorian houses, as it looks like the old Victorian houses are evolving to modern-day designs. The contrasting look should have a bit of similarity to make it look like a part of the original house. For instance, you can use the same designs for the doors and windows as the main house.

 

Displacement of Internal Walls

We all know that Victorian houses have a lot of walls that separate all the rooms from one another. This can lead to the blocking of space and natural lighting.

At this point, you can ask the painters and decorators to remove the walls that are unnecessary, like the walls that are between the dining and the kitchen. This would help you to create more space, natural lighting and also give a bit modern houses vibe.

 

Staircase

 

Most of the Victorian houses have walls on both sides of the staircase. It definitely makes the place darker and claustrophobic. In such a case scenario, you can hire painters and decorators to help you remove the wall on one side or both sides, according to your preference and the layout of the house.

This would help to create more space and let the light in your house that would make the place brighter.

If you are planning to extend your house and considering blocking the windows facing the side of your extension, then you should reconsider.

Keeping the windows would add a unique character to the house and the flow of light would not interfere.

 

Hallway

Many Victorian houses do not have a hallway or have a very tiny hallway. Hallways are an important part of a home, as you can hang your dirty coats and shoes there while entering the house, and when you are leaving the house the coats and shoes would be just near the door to take and rush.        

at this point, painters and decorators tend to remove the wall that separates the staircase and the outdoors rooms and it can also be done by shaving a section off a room that lies next to the front door and using it as a self-contained hall space instead.

 

Attic

 

Victorian houses consist of beautiful attics, which now can be renovated and used as studio rooms, children's rooms, a room with adjacent bathrooms. There are various options that you can opt for and can make the most out of the attic spaces.
