Welcome to the living room of your dreams.
English country style is popular in many places in the world, not just England, because of its warmth, coziness, and character. This style started in the rural parts of England and feature an abundance of antique, vintage, and/or thrifted traditional floral prints, natural materials, and classic furniture pieces that seem to be collected throughout the years. Here are some interior designer tips & tricks for how to decorate in an English country style in your home. Furniture PiecesThere are several classic furniture pieces commonly found in English country style homes. These furniture pieces are typically antiques. A common English country sofa is a brown leather chesterfield sofa. Other options include a roll-arm sofa or a slipcovered sofa with a skirt in a white, khaki, or cream color. Wingback chairs are very popular in living rooms. Bookcases, or perhaps an entire library, is very common in the English country style. The bookcases are filled with mostly vintage or antique books. Smaller English country homes often have a vintage or antique farmhouse table in the kitchen. Many larger homes will have a billiard or card table. Bedrooms often have a four poster bed or an iron bed. Choose a Warm and Inviting Color PaletteEnglish country style homes are decorated in soft and natural colors that have a comforting and natural feel. Muted pastel colors like pale pink, soft blue, and sage green are perfect to use in an English country style, since they mirror the colors of the blooming flowers and lush greenery of the English countryside. Don't forget the white or cream colored accents so the room does not look too dark. Earthy tones like terracotta, rust, and mustard yellow are also great options, as they create a cozy and inviting ambiance. A neutral brown stained wood color is also prevalent in furniture as well as architecture. Embrace Natural MaterialsUse natural materials when decorating your English country style for the most authentic look. Look for pieces made from wood, leather, wicker, rattan, and other organic materials that add a sense of warmth and texture to your home. Stained wood furniture pieces are a great choice for an English country style, however older wood pieces in poor repair can be repaired and painted to give them new life. Wood or stone floors are most common in traditional English country homes. Brick flooring is also a good option. Stone interior walls or fireplaces are another natural feature of many English country cottages. ArtThe most popular art for an English country home is a framed oil painting #ad. These paintings usually have an ornate antique gold or stained wood frame. The subject matter of these paintings are typically family portraits, landscapes, or animals, such as dogs and/or horses. Don't worry too much about your artwork matching, since art that looks collected throughout the years is very common. Add Floral PrintsOne of the most popular repeating elements in an English country style home is the use of floral prints and floral patterns. Consider decorating your home with floral patterns on your upholstery, curtains, bedding, and/or wallpaper. Popular flower types used in the English country style are the rose, peony, lily, lavender, poppy, and iris. You can mix and match different floral patterns in your room for a unique eclectic look that is one-of-a-kind. If you don't want to cover your room with flowers everywhere, try decorating with just a few floral patterns through accessories like throw pillows, blankets, or rugs. A needlepoint pillow #ad or seat cushion with a floral pattern is very common in English country decorating. Layer TexturesFor a cozy English country room, make sure to layer your textiles instead of just using the same fabrics throughout your room.Decorate with different textiles (like wool, linen, leather, velvet, and cotton) to create a room that feels collected and eclectic. Mixing and matching different textiles adds depth and interest to your space. For example, a wool plaid/tartan blanket draped over a linen sofa creates a cozy and inviting spot to sit for a while and read your favorite book. A linen pillow on a leather sofa creates a nice textural contrast so the leather sofa does not look so formal or uninviting. Choose Cozy LightingLighting is an important element in any design aesthetic, but it is especially in an English country style. English country style homes tend to be a little dark and moody, perhaps because England is known for its dark and dreary weather. Make sure to use multiple sources of lighting instead of just your overhead light bulb in the center of your ceiling. Many designers prefer to not use ceiling light at all except for when bright light is required, such as when cleaning. Table lamps, floor lamps, uplighting on something with an interesting texture (a stone wall or a potted plant), chandeliers, and wall sconces are great lighting options. Make sure that all of your light bulbs are the same color of light, listed as a number followed by the letter K. For a warm aesthetic, you will want light bulbs around 2700K. Mix and Match PatternsMixing and matching patterns is one of the characteristics of English country style since many of the items have been passed down from generation to generation. Don't be afraid to combine floral prints with stripes or plaid patterns with checks. When mixing patterns, don't select patterns with the same scale, else the patterns might feel too cluttered. Instead, select a large scale pattern, such as a floral, with a medium scale pattern, such as a plaid/tartan, with a small scale pattern, such as a small stripe print. The key is to keep the colors cohesive so the patterns don't clash. Experiment putting different items together to see how they look. You never know which items might unexpectedly look good together! Incorporate Vintage and Antique PiecesDecorating your home with vintage and antique pieces is the best way to get the English country look. These pieces add character to your home since they are unique and often a much higher quality than items made today. Look for vintage artwork, old-fashioned lighting fixtures, and classic furniture pieces to create a lived-in and comfortable environment. Understand the difference between distressing and damage. Distressing is when furniture or decor is altered over time from standard wear and tear. Damage is when furniture or decor is altered all at once, such as your dog chewing on the leg of your table while stressed out due to scary loud weather. Distressing is good since it showcases the heritage of the piece. Damage is bad and should be repaired. WoodworkWoodwork is very popular in English country homes. Exposed ceiling beams that might look a little rustic are very common. Some larger homes have stained wood paneling on the entire wall instead of plain drywall walls. Smaller homes will often have painted paneling, such as beadboard or wainscotting. This paneling sometimes covers the entire wall but other times is only on the bottom third of the wall. The woodwork is often painted white or a light color to make the home look lighter & brighter or a darker color to make the home feel a bit cozier. Add AccessoriesDon't forget to add many accessories to your English country-style home since many homes of this style tend to be nearly cluttered with an abundance of stuff that has been passed down to them for generations. Look for items like floral-printed cushions, woven baskets, and vintage knick-knacks to add personality and character to your space. Walking sticks, equestrian items, Staffordshire dog statues #ad taxidermy, antique books, pottery, classic hunting items, floral china, and a grandfather clock are common English country home accessories. Embrace ImperfectionOne of the defining characteristics of English country style is its imperfection since many of the high quality pieces of furniture and decor have been used by the family for many decades. Embrace the lived-in and almost shabby look of antique and vintage pieces. Look for furniture with patina and character and don't be afraid to mix and match different styles & eras. English country homes are typically not perfectly curated and well designed. More commonly, the items in the home have been collected over decades and tend to look a bit cluttered and a tiny bit messy. Imperfection adds personality and charm to your space and gives your home a sense of history. Live Plants and FlowersEnglish country style celebrates the outdoors, especially during the cold winters. Adding potted plants #ad can make a sterile room feel more alive and happy. You can also add fresh flowers for a colorful touch either weekly or on special occasions when you have guests. Consider planting your own cut flower garden so you can bring seasonal flowers inside your home. Roses are a very popular flower choice for a cutting garden.

Discover the top 15 color combinations that perfectly complement your brown leather sofa, transforming your living space into a stunning oasis!
Whether you have walls that are painted a dark color or are a dark wood tone, you can lighten the feeling of the room using furniture and furnishings so it doesn't feel like a dark cave. You might be wondering how to make a dark room feel brighter on a budget. Whether you love your dark walls but they are feeling overwhelming, or perhaps you are renting and are not allowed to change the walls, here are several ways to lighten and brighten a room with dark walls. FloorsIn order for your home to not feel like you are living in constant darkness with dark walls, make sure that the floor is not also dark. If you have dark wood floors or dark tile floors in your room, consider adding a white or light colored rug on top of those floors to break up all of the darkness and add brightness to the dark room. If you have dark carpet in your room, you can also add a rug on top of the carpet to lighten the room, but make sure that the rug is not a trip hazard. Make sure that the furniture sitting on top of your dark floors is also a light color in order to break up the sea of darkness created by your dark floors and walls. If your room has a bed, use white or light colored linens to add brightness to your dark bedroom. If your living room has a sofa, select a light colored sofa for your dark room, or consider getting a light colored slip cover for the sofa to lighten the room. Basically, try to reduce the amount of dark flooring that is showing to make your dark room feel lighter. WallsIn order to lighten a room with dark walls, you can add light and/or bright colored artwork or light colored furniture. Tall furniture, such as a white storage cabinet or a bookcase filled with colorful or light colored books, is especially helpful in covering large portions of dark walls. Adding light colored furniture, decor, and accessories will cover some of the darkness on your walls and lighten your room a bit. Also consider adding bright white crown molding and other millwork (like a fireplace surround and tall baseboards) to lighten your dark room. Basically, cover your dark walls with as much lighter colored stuff as possible to reduce the amount of wall that is showing. CeilingTo add lightness to your room with dark walls, consider painting your ceiling a bright white color to contrast with your dark walls. Ceilings are typically painted with a paint that has a flat paint sheen to reduce the visibility of texture imperfections, but consider using a more glossy paint sheen to bounce light around (assuming your ceiling texture is not too ugly). Consider making your ceiling a focal point to draw attention to the ceiling instead of the walls. To create a focal point, you can use an amazing chandelier, a unique pendant light, or interesting wallpaper on your ceiling. Also consider adding a ceiling medallion to your chandelier or maybe paint your ceiling an unusual light color for added drama. LightingIn rooms with dark walls, make sure to use plenty of lighting, in addition to natural light, to brighten your space. To make a dark room feel less like a cave, use multiple light sources scattered around the room. You can have a central light fixture in the ceiling (such as a chandelier or pendant light), several table lamps at seated eye level for most of the areas where someone might sit, an uplight that shines light on the ceiling in corners that feel a bit dark, accent lighting that shines light on a particular object or art in order to showcase its beauty, and under cabinet lighting to light work surfaces. A room will often feel dark, even if it is not, if there are visible shadows. Look around your room and hunt for shadows. Either eliminate the item causing the shadow or add lighting to that area to eliminate the shadow and make your room feel lighter. The best lighting for rooms with dark walls is to have more lighting than you think you will need coming from multiple different fixtures that are all on dimmers so you can change the lighting to many different configurations depending on the time of day or your activity in your room. Metallics and MirrorsIncorporating metallic items and mirrors into your dark room can decrease the amount of dark wall that is visible while adding glamour and sophistication. Shiny metallic items will bring sparkle and glimmer to your room. Metallic items will add life and bounce around light to make your dark room feel more light. Choose furniture and decor pieces with metallic finishes (such as silver, gold, or chrome) to add shimmer and sparkle to your space while reflecting light. Metallic decor elements (such as metallic vases, or chrome table lamps) brighten your space by breaking up all of the darkness from your walls. You can also decorate with mirrors to increase your room's brightness by bouncing light around and creating the illusion of space behind the mirror. Use large mirrors located across from windows or light fixtures to maximize light reflection. Also consider adding mirrored furniture for a glam look that reflects light. If you are on a budget, consider looking for mirrors at garage sales, estate sales, and thrift shops. You can paint the frame in a neutral color, such as black, to update it and make it more modern. WindowsOne of the most effective ways to lighten a room with dark walls is to use as much natural light as possible. Avoid using heavy curtains and keep other things away from your window that might be blocking the light, especially if you have small windows. Consider installing sheer or lightweight curtains that diffuse natural light while still providing privacy and softening the harshness of direct sunlight. If curtains are necessary for privacy, select white or light colored ones that do not block out all of the light, however you might need blackout curtains (blackout refers to the thick lining inside the curtain that blocks out the light, not the color of the actual curtain) to block out all of the light in your bedrooms. Whatever curtains you are using, but especially blackout curtains, make sure to hang them so they mostly cover the wall and barely cover the window when opened all the way so that the sunlight can flood the dark room during the daytime. In addition to curtains covering windows, they also partially cover the dark walls, adding softness and lessening the darkness of the wall color. Additionally, trim back any foliage or landscaping outside your windows that may be blocking sunlight from entering the room. Make sure to keep your windows clean, inside and out, to maximize the light inside your home. Accent ColorsAccent colors can make or break your entire room's decor style, especially if your room has dark walls. When selecting accent colors for a dark room, your colors should contrast with the existing dark walls while complementing their rich tones. If you like bold colors, consider decorating with emerald green, bold orange, mustard yellow, sapphire blue, or ruby red to add a fun energy to your room. If you prefer a more calm environment, you might choose softer accent colors (like blush pink, soft yellow, or lavender). You can add accent colors in throw pillows, area rugs, artwork, lighting, and/or upholstered furniture. Experiment with different color combinations and textures to create the exact look that you are after.
