The “Victorian Outdoor Design” concept has gotten a lot of press recently, but the idea isn’t exactly a new one. One need only look to the classical gardens of upscale colonial-era homes, the substantial front porches of bungalows and Queen Annes, or the easily accessible Outdoor of Victorian ranches to understand that what’s outside the house has long been as important as what’s in it. If what’s outside your house is less than stellar, that’s easy to fix. Adding a porch light here, and some seating there will do wonders to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and the livability of your outdoor environment.
