She was not known as an interior designer herself, but during her reign there was a revival of all sorts of design ideas from the past. Interior design companies of the time brought together an impressive collection of styles to create what came to be known as the Victorian aesthetic.

Much like the history of art, the history of interior design has had numerous styles, movements and the political and social developments that have informed or challenged its evolution. Encyclopedias define interior design as: planning and design of man made spaces, a part of environmental designs and closely related to architecture.
