English Country Interior Design
Characteristics
English country interior design is rustic, relaxed and comfortable. The patterns and styles are typically eccentric with a mix of classic furniture and new collections. You can create a comfortable and historic look with fine ornaments and antiques. A balanced combination of feminine accents and complimenting colors further enhance the English country theme in your home. This archetypal style is all about designs that flow with less contrast. Whether you are looking for a traditional motif or one with a modern twist, make simple changes that coincide with an English country home.
- Fabrics are bright with chintz florals being especially prominent, tamed with stripes, ginghams and plaids and accented with tassels, fringe and trim.
- Walls are usually wallpapered or stenciled with toile patterns.
- Furnishings and decor include china arranged on the wall, framed botanicals, landscape paintings, floral embroidered pillows, crystal candleholders, vases of fresh flowers, embroidered rugs, dark-stained chests and pine bookcases.
