In this lookbook, we collect 10 living rooms in Victorian and Georgian-era homes that carefully balance contemporary style with original features.
The Georgian period of British history ran from 1714 to about 1837, followed by the Victorian period from 1837 until 1901. Many UK cities are still filled with prominent architecture from these times.
Typically characterised by brick facades, sash windows, generous ceilings, timber floorboards, commanding fireplaces and intricate plasterwork, the sturdy architecture of those periods remains highly popular today.
Below, Dezeen has picked out 10 examples of living rooms in Georgian and Victorian-style homes that have been given a modern edit.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration see previous lookbooks featuring living rooms with timeless modernist aesthetics, peaceful Scandi styling and elegant stone surfaces.

Edinburgh apartment, UK, by Luke and Joanne McClelland
Architects Luke and Joanne McClelland transformed a bedroom into a living room that takes advantage of an enormous Georgian bay window in their overhaul of their own apartment in the Scottish capital.
They furnished the space using a mixture of mid-century furniture, such as the side table and green-velvet armchairs, with more contemporary touches like the graphic monochrome rug and slate-grey sectional sofa.
