The English cottage interior style typically features wood panelling and beams on the walls and ceilings, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The flooring is often made of natural materials such as wood or flagstone, and the windows are typically large to allow for plenty of natural light.
Colours are warm, muted tones of red, yellow, blue and green, which creates a casual and inviting atmosphere. In the bedroom, white linens and natural fibre textiles are often used.
English cottage interior style is all about creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a focus on natural materials, comfort, and personal touches, it is perfect for those who want to create a cosy and welcoming home.
