The Victorian Kitchen: Austerity and Dignity With Practicality Entirely Rolled Into One
The Victorian period shows views of dignity and sometimes, even going over the top as a few present-day critics will say.

You may want to have the living room designed in the Gothic style with Egyptian emphasis all over the place. Then the bedroom can be done in an entirely different manner, probably create a warm, homey feeling. The kitchen can be developed to create functionality in the busiest area in the house.
A Victorian kitchen is all about simplicity and practicality. Kitchen basics are laid out by using a sensible eye. Most early Victorian kitchens are floored and paneled with wood; wooden countertops are made with containers for different storage purposes. There are also open frames along the walls for foodstuff and clips for dangling kitchen utensils. Plumbing and pipes are left exposed and basins are typically made of cast-iron.
