These days, we see these original elements as an integral part of the inside of the kitchen sink, but it has not always been the case. modernizing cheap swept Britain after World War II and only really calmed down in the 1980s Meanwhile, many fireplaces, paneled doors and cornices were uprooted and replaced with plywood, melamine and wall coverings claims in order to bring Victorian homes to date.
Today, however, a more considered approach is the norm. We want to preserve or restore the original items to bring character to our house without compromising contemporary style and functionality. Often this means marrying the corridors, rooms and rooms full of authentic character with a kitchen and living very efficient bathroom. But there are other ways to celebrate the ancestors of your Victorian house without living in a museum piece. Here's how ...

Say yes to sash windows
Victorian houses were usually equipped with single sash windows. If you have the original, repair and sealing them can help them live a long and beautiful life. Also upgrading frames with double glazing - many companies can adapt the double glazing in existing frameworks. Otherwise, there are companies that can manufacture genuine replacements.

Preserve original floor
We are still obsessed with original plates we were there a few decades ago, when it became fashionable to tear the carpet and show wood under. Even battered and worn boards can be repaired and patched, so ask renovation advice before giving up on your Victorian originals.

Create contrast with cornicing
Ornate plasterwork cornicing was loved by the Victorians, but you can reinvent today, while highlighting, painting a bold shade around it. This is a great way to both celebrate and modernization of an original function.

Use bold color bad dark mood
Today colors work brilliantly Victorian style and are in harmony with the love of this period of dark shades. Here, a cloudy gray eyes striking next to an original fireplace. Avoid cluttering the mantelpiece with objects, which tax the eye, especially if there are decorative tiles around the perimeter of the fire. A striking, contemporary art hanging above the other, hits just the right note of edgy modernity.

Avoid clichés contemporary
Some ingredients arise time and again in contemporary conversions and extensions. folding doors, for example, are highly appreciated for their ability to blend inside and outside. But if you want to bring your Victorian house day in a more subtle way, steer clear of these choices and more options timeless sources that will fill the gap between the decade in which your home was built and today. In the kitchen, for example, the owners are equipped with a door and windows, rather than the typical wall of folding doors. It prevents the space look too "now" and means there is room to build bench overlooking the garden

You can find everything from radiators to tiles that are dead ringers for the real thing, while offering the advantages of being newly manufactured.
