Inspired Design: English Country Side
Filled with watercolors of most memorable projects, the pastoral retreat brims with personality, wit, and charm “Decorating is a subtle business. It’s about the flattery of light and color to make people look prettier”
This house has a soul and a voice.
English Country Design should have rich, warm colors
Cozy Seating - Tufted chesterfields and overstuffed armchairs—especially when covered in plush pillows in intricate patterns—impart a sense of warmth.
Potted plants Cut flowers naturally appear on mantels and windowsills, but true English country homes spotlight their greenery in terra-cotta planters and an eclectic mix of chinoiserie vases and ceramic vessels.
Muted colors A neutral color palette punctuated by subdued greens, sunny yellows, faded pinks, and watery blues and grays draws inspiration from nature and underlines the bucolic atmosphere.
Florals Everywhere Whether in the upholstery or on the walls, pillows trailing blooms lend a note of softness throughout English country homes.
Reading material No English country home is complete without shelves and shelves of books and cozy reading nooks—ideal for making the most of rainy days.
Linear textiles From grain-sack pillows to ticking-stripe upholstery.
