Victorian Home Plans
A brightly painted exterior, welcoming covered or wrap-around front porch and detailed ornamental elements adorning the facade easily identify Victorian home designs. Turned posts, spindles, brackets under the eaves, detailed scrollwork, and gingerbread decorating are some of the ornate characteristics of Victorian home plans made possible by the introduction of mass production manufacturing techniques. Bay windows, wide verandas, turrets, and grand towers may be incorporated into a Victorian floor plan. Victorian house plans are composed of one or two levels having an asymmetrical layout and an irregular roofline in which gables face several directions and roof pitches vary. Victorian style front doors are generally four-paneled with no or narrow sidelights, while windows tend to be long and narrow and sometimes incorporate bays. Thanks to their irregular exterior shape, Victorian floor plans tend to be free form and rambling.
