Stairs

　　Because the Victorian is built to impress, intricate(错综复杂的)or grand entrances are usually constructed.These stairways usually lead to wrap－around front porches decorated with turned wood or wrought iron railings.

　　Towers and Turrets (塔楼)

　　These unique rooms could be studies, bedrooms or libraries.They give Victorian homes a castle feel and recall the Gothic mansions that inspired early Victorian designs.Because these houses are often three or even four stories tall, these turrets can be quite impressive.

　　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.
