Decorative Trim

　　Although the trim is produced on a large scale, there are several different styles and designs.Everything from Italianate egg－and－dart molding to carved Gothic Revival fascia can be found on a Victorian home.It is not at all unusual to find Queen Anne, Gothic and Italianate elements all on the same house, as the goal is to create something unique and unusual.According to Victorian design rules, the trim should have painted a distinctly different color than the siding for emphasis.In most cases in the 18th century in the UK, three to five different colors of paint were used: one of these colors was used for the house, and the rest of the colors were used for the trim.

　　Bay Windows

　　Large windows, which are sometimes filled with stained glass or topped with stained glass panels, are also special features in Victorian houses.These bays can either be walkout versions or have a built－in bench.

　　Asymmetrical (不对称的) House Design

　　Victorian era architects loved the challenge of varied roof lines and asymmetrical designs.The houses are made to be individual and unique.Even if the basic design of a group of houses is the same, you can expect to find unique window styles and architectural details that give each house its own personality.

　　Extras

　　Classic Victorian homes have wrap－around porches with beautiful trim and tiny balconies or crow's nests on the upper floors.Some of these porches, balconies and crow's nests are functional, but some are just for show.Nothing is wasted too much for a Victorian home.
