The Theory
The theory discusses how the Victorians from the late 19th century decorated their properties with paints that embodied the natural world- bright colors or earthy colors. Colors such as terracotta or ochre may have been painted on an average Victorian’s home. It was done to bring a sense and feeling of the outdoors.
