A little drama feels right at home in this historic Salem residence. With its rich architectural history and unmistakable Victorian character, this 1871 French Mansard home gave us plenty of inspiration to work with. We leaned into the more dramatic side of Victorian design, embracing rich velvet upholstery, sweeping drapery, and a deep, saturated color palette that feels both sophisticated and a little mysterious.
The result is a space that celebrates the home's history without feeling bound by it, bringing together old-world elegance, contemporary furnishings, and a few unexpected details for a fresh take on Victorian living.
