Hints/Tips/Guide/Steps to building a victorian themed house?

munchiepoo

I've just made a lot of money in my sims family currently, father's dead, son is growing up and I want them to live in a nicer house, what colours, ect, designs should I choose. Also, any tips for shaping, ect, just, anything. Thanks. I haven't built in ages and I just feel like I can't.

When I think of colors used for Victorian's I think of these types of colors, bright, but soft (although you could go bold):

Take a look at floor plans to get ideas (or try to replicate the floor plan, if you find one you like, in the game)
