Transform Your House Into a Cozy English Country Home

When people think English country homes, it evokes images of cozy cottages at the neck of the woods, surrounded by flower gardens and manicured lawns. It’s a popular style among homeowners and new addition contractors alike and it’s a good way to give your home a warm and welcoming feeling all around.

Decorating an English country home is all about focusing on warmth and comfort. Your choice of colors, patterns, and finishes can be formal or casual. With such a wide range of available options, it can be challenging to capture the look and feel of an English country home. Luckily, our experts at Design Build Remodeling Group of Maryland have the following tips to help you out.

Choosing Furniture

As far as furniture is concerned in living room, bedroom, and kitchen remodeling, you want to stick with traditional designs. Queen Anne and Victorian sofas and chairs are staples of this style. Pair these with built-in bookshelves, traditional display racks, and china cabinets and you have the beginnings of a cozy English cottage.

Colors and Hues

English country homes take inspiration from nature for a majority of its stylings. This means you want to stick to natural hues when it comes to deciding on wallpaper and finishes. Floral patterns blend seamlessly in this style so feel free to use it as accent pillows and drapes throughout the whole house. Cabinets in this style are typically white but countertops and surfaces are usually colored.

All About the Details

Getting help from professional home remodeling contractors go a long way in building the English country home of your dreams, but as far as decor goes, the devil is actually in the details. Vases adorned with fresh flowers should be used in every room. Scour flea markets and garage sales for vintage items to use in your home. Lastly, consider a hat rack and a pine shelf to really bring out the coziness in your design.
