Victorian Era Wardrobes (1840 – 1890)

Victoria Era houses are often referred to as terraced houses and refer to both Victorian and Edwardian period homes. Drawing great inspiration from Paris and London architecture they came into popularity between 1940 and 1890. The Glen Eira suburbs of Elsternwick and St Kilda east are the main suburbs with these style homes.

Most commonly built in brick, two-storey with upper level balconies. The balconies feature ornate cast iron, and the interiors often feature grand polished floor-boards, beautiful tiling and eave cornices and skirting boards.

Californian Bungalow Wardrobes (1910 – 1935)

These single story, brick time capsules were slathered in timber inside and out to give them a unique and open design. They were seen as a real turn from the European style design to the US and the Holywood feel. Common features included bay windows, ceiling panelling and contrasting timber door-frames, window-frames and picture rails. Lined with polished floorboards and centered around large hallways the Californian Bungalow moved towards the modern open plan living.
