Not everyone will decide to arrange their living room in the English style, because this involves certain character traits of the owners themselves, as well as the corresponding rhythm of life – measured and leisurely. So, what does the traditional English living room look like?
Living room design in a classic English style
As you know, the English style in the interior of the living room is the goodness in the decoration, the thoughtfulness of every detail and, of course, fidelity to traditions.
The walls are usually painted in light colors, and often this is only one shade. For the floor, a typewriter is traditionally used. A characteristic feature of the style is the use of natural wood of noble species – it is oak, red tree, nut and others.
A mandatory element of the English living room is a fireplace around which cozy sofas are located. The Voltaire chair with a high back will also fit remarkably into such an interior. Of great importance when decorating the living room is attached to textiles – these are soft rugs, and wool carpets, and tapestry upholstery of sofas, and fabric lampshades of floor lamps. Do not forget about classic English curtains for the living room. As for color design, the British prefer either pastel shades (light or dark), or simple patterns – in polka dots, in stripes or in a flower.
The British are very honored by family traditions, so photographs in the framework hung on the walls will fit perfectly into the design of the living room. And various family relics, porcelain figurines and other little things can be arranged on a fireplace shelf.
To give the room the most similarity with the traditional English living room, it makes sense to purchase an elegant banquet on bent legs, which will play the role of a coffee table. And if you make a living room in an apartment where there is no separate room for the library, do not forget to put bookcases, floor lamps and sconces.
