520    With a fifth of the UK's population living in a Victorian 
       home, how to style and adapt these 19th-century properties
       to contemporary living is always on trend. While Pinterest,
       Instagram and magazines can offer flashes of inspiration 
       to those looking to design their Victorian home, Victorian
       Modern provides in-depth information and context, not only
       on why Victorian houses were built and designed as they 
       are, but also how modern designers are adapting and 
       styling these houses in fresh and innovative ways that are
       sympathetic to the period, while bringing them up-to-date 
       for the way we live today. Victorian Modern comprises 
       seven chapters, organized according to how we use our 
       homes: dining, cooking, entertaining, sleeping, bathing, 
       working, along with transitional spaces (hallways, boot 
       rooms and garden rooms). Each chapter explains how the 
       Victorians designed and decorated these spaces, before 
       moving on to their modern interpretations. Sprinkled 
       throughout are practical decorating tips and information 
       on the origins of the architectural features of the 
       period. Combining cultural context with advice and 
       inspiration from the homes of interior designers, 
       architects and stylists, Victorian Modern reveals how the 
       history and design of nineteenth-century homes can 
       influence and inform our modern lifestyles and home decor 
       in fresh and interesting ways.
