The Grand Floridian Resort is a fantastic inspiration for anyone wanting to decorate or design in the Victorian style.
History of Victorian Architecture & Furnishing
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, America underwent significant changes due to the rise of factories. Before then, most people made their own furniture or bought it from a local craftsman. But factories started changing all that. Now you and your neighbor have the same table.
This change also brought a much more ornate style to interiors and architecture. Today, we call this style Victorian.
