1. The Grand Victorian Mansion Facade 🏡
This is the classic look everyone loves. Think of a big, three-story house with lots of windows, a steep roof, and maybe a small tower on the corner.
This page gives you the full picture of the home’s front. It’s the perfect starting point to try out your color ideas for the siding, roof, and trim.
2. Intricate “Gingerbread” Trim Close-Up ✨
Victorian builders loved adding fancy wooden details! These are often called “gingerbread” trim because they look so ornate.
This page zooms in on those swirling, cut-out patterns. You usually see them hanging from the roof edges or porch ceilings. It’s a great page for practicing with your fine-tip markers.
3. The Cozy Wrap-Around Porch ☕
One of the best features of these homes is the big porch. It often wraps around at least one or two sides of the house.
This coloring page shows a comfy scene. Imagine a wooden porch floor, tall columns holding up the roof, and maybe a hanging swing or a rocking chair waiting for you.
4. The Pointed Turret Tower 🏰
Many Victorian houses have a tall, round tower built into one corner. It makes them look just like a small castle.
This page focuses on the tower itself. You can color the different window panes, the cone-shaped roof (often with a pattern!), and the siding all the way up.
5. A Spooky Haunted Manor 👻
This style is also perfect for a spooky vibe! Think of a classic haunted house on a hill.
This page shows a Victorian house that looks a bit mysterious. It might have broken shutters, twisting vines growing up the side, and a full moon peeking out from behind it. It’s perfect for Halloween!
6. The Elegant Stained-Glass Window 💎
Inside these homes, you often find beautiful stained-glass windows. They were a sign of wealth and style.
This page is a close-up of one of these windows. It features intricate patterns, often with flowers, birds, or geometric shapes, all separated by thick lines.
7. A Lush Victorian Conservatory 🌿
Wealthy Victorians loved gardening. Many built special “glass rooms” called conservatories to house their exotic plants.
This page shows the outside of a beautiful greenhouse. It’s made of white-painted wood and lots of glass panes. Through the windows, you can see the simple outlines of large-leafed plants.
8. The Warm Interior Fireplace 🔥
The inside of a Victorian home was just as detailed as the outside. The fireplace was often the centerpiece of the living room.
This page shows a grand fireplace. It has a tall, carved wooden mantelpiece above it. You can color the tiles around the fireplace opening and the logs stacked inside.
9. A Charming Victorian Gazebo 🌸
The gardens of these homes often had a small, open-air structure called a gazebo.
This coloring page features a classic octagonal (eight-sided) gazebo. It has a pointed roof, delicate railings, and intricate wooden trim, all surrounded by simple flower bushes.
10. A Victorian Street Scene 🏘️
Why color just one house when you can color a whole street? These homes were often built close together, creating a beautiful neighborhood.
This page shows a row of 3-4 Victorian houses side-by-side. Each one has a slightly different design, giving you lots of variety to color. A simple cobblestone street is in the foreground.
Tips for Coloring Victorian Architecture 🎨
- Go for Bold Colors: Don’t feel like you have to use boring colors. Historic Victorian homes were famous for their bright and bold paint jobs, using deep reds, forest greens, mustard yellows, and rich blues all on the same house!
- Use Sharp Pencils: For all that tiny “gingerbread” trim and window details, fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils are your best friends. They help you stay in the lines and make the details pop.
- Add Shadows: To make the house look more 3D, use a gray or a darker shade of your main color to add shadows. Put them under the roof eaves, beneath the porch roof, and around the window frames.
- Make Windows Shine: For the window glass, try blending a light blue at the edges with white in the middle. This makes them look like they are reflecting the sky.
Coloring these detailed homes is such a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. It really makes you appreciate all the small, creative touches that make this style so special. I hope you found a design that you’re excited to print and start!
