To achieve a Victorian look on an interior wall, try a beadboard wainscot. You can buy beadboard at your local lumberyard. Here are some things to keep in mind when installing it yourself. Run your baseboard first to avoid forming grooves for dust to collect in. Use a drill and a jigsaw to cut holes for outlets. Fit each board together snugly, then nail with two and a half inch finish nails. Angle the bottom nail into the tongue of each board. Face nail the top, and cap it with a molding over the rough edges.
