Reserve one quarter of your room for a spacious walk-in wardrobe. Have it painted in black, cream and gold. Avoid colours like red and turquoise in the dressing room as they get reflected in the mirror and will hide the colour of your outfit.

You could have a sliding carved wood door or a foldable partition in antique metal to distinguish it from the rest of the room.

Ditch the plain shelves and rods for storing your clothes, shoes and the works. A stylish French armoire would go great with the decor instead. An old-fashioned dresser with an attached basin is another part of the classic style.

Capturing Antiques

Enthralling crystal chandeliers can make your room look elegant. You could have one in the centre. You could also include four small chandeliers on either side of the room. Another great option is carved wooden domes with inbuilt mirror optic lights that reflect light across the room.

Designer fans are very popular nowadays. Try one with artistic wooden blades and a brass finish body with a large light fixture in the centre.

Don't crowd the room with accessories. Just a couple of tastefully picked paintings from the Victorian era can be pretty charming.

Window Fashion

Create the perfect look by using natural lighting during the day. So don't hide those tall windows behind boring curtains. Instead use pleated lace sheers behind taffeta or jacquard drapes. This way when you draw the drapes you don't have to worry about the glare.

You could pick either deep red, mehendi green, dark purple or navy blue for the drapes and team them with white or cream sheers.

Full-length drapes work well if you want to make short windows look longer too. Don't forget a valance trimming for that extra style.

If you have French doors that open onto a terrace bring in a little breakfast table. It is typical of Victorian fashion. A tasselled tablecloth and an antique brass candle stand are the ideal accompaniments.
