Take my Victorian house tour with these current snapshots of each room. I’ve also included references for colour schemes, wallpapers and flooring in each room if you feel inspired! Please note all the colour references and finishes are based on original paint schemes in my house, as identified through paint analysis carried out by conservators Crick-Smith.
If you are interested in having a real Victorian house tour or hiring my home for filming please Contact me.
